Wow Negan just learned in 2 panels not only that walkers are dead, but also how to kill them. This story is moving slow as molasses, but also really fast at the same time lol.

 

I'm speaking in gifs for the rest of the day.

 

I'm honestly starting to have my doubts about how much of Negan's background is really going to get covered here. I mean, going into it, my assumption was a bit of pre-ZA, then the start of the ZA, how he acquires Lucille and why he names her that/why she's his go-to weapon of choice, finding Sanctuary, and establishing the Saviors. Maybe even see some familiar faces, like meeting Dwight and Sherry. Possibly see some sort of incident that sheds light on his super anti-rape attitude. Not to say that other, normal people DON'T have an anti-rape attitude... I mean, seriously, everyone should be against rape... but Kirkman seems to have made it a key point in Negan's character since it's come up a lot and he's killed/tried to kill people over it, so it honestly had me wondering if someone close to him had been raped and he'd been helpless to stop it or something; at this point, I'm guessing it's now simply there as a "pet the dog" sort of moment (check out the definition on TV Tropes, if you're curious), a way to give his villain some redeeming qualities. *shrugs*

But this thing is only slated for 12 issues. Today is issue six and... um, I have no idea what Kirkman is actually doing at this point. I'm starting to fear we won't even get remotely close to touching on ANY of the actual build-up to Negan as a ZA superpower. Instead, it's like he's gonna step out of the hospital, magically get a leather jacket and a baseball bat, kill a few walkers, and we end on some sort of grim-dark mood that takes us back to the very first panels of Issue 1 - him sitting alone at a campfire binding Lucille with the barbed wire. And it ends. With the audience having to "fill in the blanks" for lone Negan turning into Genghis Khan Negan.

Which will make me unhappy. *sigh*

I didn't know you were into earning your red wings, Neuro. :zombies_lol:

(For the innocent among us, don't Google that. No, really, don't.)

 

Maybe Kirkman will have some epiphany and decide to extend Here's Negan! for another year... or two... or ten. You know, to really tell the WHOLE story. Hell, I'd begin a Kickstarter for that if my pet theory of "Negan won't die in TWD until Here's Negan! is finished" holds true. :zombies_lol:

I've reached a point where I really do not care that I'm being milked $1.99 extra a month for a guaranteed 4 pages of Negan in my life. Ride that train, Kirkman. Grab those teats and milk this cow for all the dollar bills you want if it gets us more Negan.

Hmmm, wow, that sounds pretty bad. But I'm an addict at this point, it's sad. LMAO

That was a hell of a vote of confidence, how awesome!

Also a MUCH better story about red wings than Urban Dictionary has. :zombies_shocked:

 

Ok since we're telling stories - I learned that term when i was about 14. My parents made me go to bed early on school nights but i could never sleep so i would turn on the radio and I stumbled on a radio show on what i think was a Canadian radio station. I can't remember what it was called. The host was a sex therapist, and she had a male co-host who was sort of the comic relief. Anyway, i would turn it down as far as it would go and listen to people call in and ask sex & relationship questions. I learned...so much. Including what red wings are.

 

Well.....this conversation sure took a turn.

 

Wut.

 

Sounds painful!

 

Does it wobble to and fro? Can you tie it in a knot can you tie it in a bow?

 

Negan just wanted to make an announcement on the subject at hand.

 

Goddammit, man! My heart actually leapt into my throat, even though I smelled shenanigans.

And now I'm all sad face.

 

Is there anyplace online to read the pages in part 5 and beyond?

 

So when's the next one?
