So Issue #1 was released in October of 2003. That means in a little over one month, Kirkman will have been working on this comic for 14 years ... and he would be at Issue #172.
Originally, he wanted to do 500 issues, which at a pace of 12 issues a year, would mean he would reach 500 issues in 27.5 years; essentially being done by 2045.
Then he changed his stance to 300 issues, which would still be 10.8 years from now. I just don't think he has enough new conceptual ideas to last 10.8 more years -- he has already been going for 14 years.
If he stopped at issue 225, that would be another 55 issues, and ending The Walking Dead in 4.5 years or the beginning of 2022. I can realistically imagine he has that much more content ideas left in him. It is not too soon and not too long before the comic ends.
