#1. Tell me more!
Elizabeth Turner Tucker on Facebook asks: “Is the show ever going to do a backstory on Negan? I think everyone would like to know what his story is about and why he is the way he is.”
Everyone seems to want to know more about Negan, the man who leads The Saviors with a blend of ruthlessness and charisma. But to this point, the popular AMC show has done little to fill in fans on his past.
Many fans already know about Negan’s past thanks to the Here’s Negan stories in Image+ Magazine. Others are waiting for the entire series to come out on October 10, 2017 in a collected and hardcover form.
But it seems as though Negan’s history won’t be left for those reading the stories in Here’s Negan. Recently, showrunner Scott M. Gimple has revealed that the show will focus on the backstory of the big bad guy, but it will stay true to the comics.
Honestly, it would probably be best if the history of Negan was left somewhat vague. While backstories can sometimes be interesting and develop characters, leaving mystery to Negan seems to make him a very strong character.
