'The Walking Dead' Season 6 Spoiler: Steven Yeun Calls Negan's Arrival 'F...ing Awesome'

Those of you who are "The Walking Dead" comic book nuts and have eagerly awaited the arrival of the iconic villain Negan since it launched in 2010 can gear up to see Shane, The Governor, or the cannibals of Terminus.

Negan might be among the worst of the zombie apocalypse but has been listed among the best villains of late, and with reason. His devilish charisma, intelligence and visible savagery can bowl you over.

It was exciting news to learn that Jeffrey Dean Morgan has bagged that charismatic role. That did get a good actor a good role.

The comic book Negan entered the scene in issue 100. His first TV appearance is slated to be in season six finale when he beats up Glenn to death with a baseball bat---his dear Lucille that is covered with barbed wire.

Now this is the goodbye scene for Glenn in "The Walking Dead." It's got the fans upset about things.

Yeun too knows that it's the end of his character, and Negan is responsible for it. Still, he is diplomatic.

"For me, his arrival is awesome," Yeun said. "We've been waiting for this person for a long time, and in the comic books, he in a way brings a level of stakes that are kind of unmatched. And so, for me, for Negan to come into the show is, to say nothing less, f---ing awesome."

A lot of people are surprised that Yeun remains cheerful even if his character is facing death. Still, the showrunner Scott M. Gimple seems to have introduced some changes in the source material, hinting that Glenn may not die. After all, many characters in the comics that were killed in the show did return later.

"I know people are going to always go, 'Negan kills Glenn in the comics,' but rest assured that we don't necessarily do what's in the comics," Yeun said. "There's a clear divide in the way we tell a story on television, and the way that story is told in the comics because it has to be. And everybody will have to see what happens, but we definitely tell our story in the way that television should be told."

"That's the beauty of the adaptation," Yeun continued. "There is something to be said about something being predictable. I'm sure there are iconic moments, but at the same time, we want to keep this show as fresh and alive as possible, and we're going to tell that story that exists for the world we've created. And it is inspired by the world Robert Kirkman has created, but it's also its own entity, to some degree. So, yeah, I mean, we'll see what happens."
