"A SOLITARY LIFE"
The sad, sorry, solitary life of Negan. Face it, true believers, he deserves this.
For a book that was originally viewed as a "horror story without an end" the Walking Dead has emerged as a stellar depiction of human emotion in the face of trying circumstance. This issue may not be as widely celebrated as more action-oriented pieces, but from a character standpoint, it stands as one of the best scripts the book has produced in years. Read Full Review
Most importantly, the script nails the emotional beats as Negan hits rock bottom and struggles to rise again. Adlard is instrumental in making that process work. His use of intense lighting and his emotionally charged facial work do wonders for Negan's sad little solo adventure. Read Full Review
Negan makes his confession. And Maggie finally relieved. Well, I'm impressed, again, but I hope not for the last time.

This is a pretty strong issue, focussing on Negan and his lonely life of exile. It is touching how Negan reaches out towards his dead wife, his narrative to her the only thing giving him peace. Is it possible for Negan to be turned into, if not a good guy, then an antihero, as opposed to villain? I'm not sure if it will work, but watching Negan's transformation has been interesting, at least.
