The Walking Dead: See Negan's Visit From Comics To TV

Fans of the comic series "The Walking Dead" have been looking forward to the arrival of Negan on the TV Series. Ever since Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) appeared on the show in Season 6, Episode 16, fans have shown mixed emotions towards the character.

Some couldn't help but love the character because of JDM's incredible portrayal, while some couldn't bear to make themselves like Negan. The latter is an understandable case considering the villain just bashed two of their favorite characters - Glenn and Abraham - in the head.

As Negan continue to assert his dominance over Rick, Daryl and the rest of the survivors, fans are rapidly beginning to hate him more and more - as they should. In the previous episode of The Walking Dead titled, "Service" some fans were not satisfied with the constant tormenting of their favorite group.

David Alpert, executive producer of The Walking Dead, appeared on the latest episode of Talking Dead where he weighed in on Negan's deliberate manipulation and humiliation of Rick. He said,

"I think Negan is challenging Caesar Millan a little bit. It's a little bit about asserting dominance, right? He wants that look in his eyes of a subservient dog. He kept talking about it."

"He's also been doing this from the moment we met him," Alpert continued. "He put the ax in the table of the RV and he's like, 'Hey, come and get me!' knowing, you can't do anything. I'm gonna leave you with my bat right behind me and you're not gonna hit me and that's gonna make you acknowledge that you're a beta."

Some fans, especially those fans of the comic series, might have noticed some similarities from the comic series by Robert Kirkman to the show itself. The showrunners of The Walking Dead always make it a point to give a nod to Kirkman's graphic novel.

The writers take scenes from the graphic novel and bring them to life on the TV Show. The Walking Dead Season 7, Episode 3 was no exception. Fans who have read the comics may have noticed some pretty close similarities that came straight out the paper into the television set.

For those fans who have yet to read the comic series, the video below from ComicBook will show the comparison between the two.
