    Before the Turn, Negan struggled in minor league baseball, his homemade baseball bat Lucille by his side. After every game he hoped he'd get the call to the majors, but that call never came. Some say it drove him mad....they were right. :hatchet:

    Sounds interesting. Hopefully its a story that Kirkman has had in his mind for awhile, and not something they are coming up this last minute for this promotion. Usually he's pretty trustworthy. ;). Now I just have to figure out exactly what this stupid magazine is I have to buy.

    it's 4 pages a month for 12 months, i believe. So, you are paying almost $24.00 for 48 pages.

    Yeah, I'm still confused about that after reading it a couple of times. It sounds like the sales catalogue that Image would send to the comic shops, so how do we get ahold of it? I imagine it'll end up online somewhere...

    its basically like buying a magazine when you are only interested in one particular article. Its too bad there are no....alternative....tricky methods of reading it. ;/

    I think that's precisely what it is. There's a big catalog that encompasses many other comic suppliers, and then there is a subset of just image+ products, which you can buy separately if you want, for 1.99.

    It just seems like a weird promotion to get consumers to buy a sales catalogue, when they could sell the individual chapters as downloads, or publish the whole story as a one-shot. Clearly, there's still something I'm not getting, but...

    HOLY POOP, WE FINALLY GET A NEGAN BACKSTORY.

    Before the zombie apocalypse, he was a plumber. His wife was a real Peach. But when his brother Luigi was killed in the early days of the zombie apocalypse by his evil twin Wario, it sent him spiraling into batshitcrazyinsanatosis. And he traded in his wrenches and overalls (the only cure for plumber crack) for a leather jacket and a baseball bat.

    Ah, crap. :( I took it from one of your threads, so that's why you aren't in it. Sorry...

    I'm not paying for that..... Include Negan's backstory in a regular issue like all of the other characters or I will patiently wait to read it for free online.

    New to this forum but respect for having a Jesus quote and his face in your profile. So happy he's in the show now.

    I'm tipping Negan lived a fairly oppressed, miserable life.



    But he's got such darn good manners.

    I am actually looking forward to it, I really like him and just about died when they revealed his casting. Fricken delicious.

    I'm guessing used car salesman. Stupid smile on his face, inappropriate humor, won't take no for an answer, high pressure tactics, cares about little else above his commission, all sales FINAL...

    But could have been something as benign as a worker at the mill where the Saviors call home. I'm thinking a wife or female family member close to him was raped and possibly killed in the early days of the outbreak, or just prior so that the criminal did not face justice to explain his disdain for such acts.

    But maybe he had just won the lottery and never got to collect, so his cheese slid right off the cracker.
