 It was very exciting . I got to write the attack at the end of the episode — which was very much something that happened in the comic book series — so I knew I would be revisiting something I had already written . But as we were in the writers ' room , when things started shifting which led to all this new stuff that wasn 't in the comic book series , I thought that was great because it wasn 't me writing the same @-@ old same @-@ old or rewriting something I had already done and trying to make it interesting for myself . It was really an entirely new story : getting the gang members in there and getting to write Daryl [ ... ] which is one of my favorite characters on the show , despite the fact that he ’ s not in the comic book . It was a blast .
