Number 43 - Here's Negan - Kirkman et al

 

 This is a fun little one shot looking at the backstory of one of the Walking Dead’s most popular characters. How did Negan rise to power amongst the Saviours, and where did he find his beloved Lucille? And why was the Glenn-pounder called Lucille in the first place?

I think it could maybe have been stretched out a bit more. It feels far too short and quite rushed. Once he met the group that would become the Saviours, he was their leader far too quickly. His turn to barbarism came too suddenly.

The artwork is the usual, competently drawn but nothing amazing. There are none of the eye-catching feature pages/double spreads in here that occasionally punctuated the original comics. If you’re a fan of the comics, this is a nice little add-on.
