Cori's Reviews > The Walking Dead: Here's Negan!

On one hand, Negan is one of my favorite characters in The Walking Dead, so I was hopeful this book would reveal crucial elements to his character. On the other, great villains tend to have pasts shrouded in some mystery.

If you've read the main story comics, you'll remember a scene when Negan shares some of his backstory with Rick. Welp...we get absolutely no more revelation regarding his past here than we did from that one scene. At the very least, I would have liked to have seen the progression of Negan descending into the chaotic evil character he became. But there was no arc. None. He didn't go around killing people before the apocalypse. But that was basically the long and short of his character development in this short, seventy page book. He started killing people but otherwise stayed the same.

Kind of a bummer. I prefer this book didn't exist, so I think I'll pretend it doesn't.

I'd rate this book an R for the swearing and crass humor alone, but also violence and gore and sexual implication in a few of the pictures.
