Hey gang! Welcome back to our ongoing discussion for Negan’s backstory, HERE’S NEGAN, appearing in 4-page increments each month in IMAGE+ magazine. Each month we’ll swap out featured images and bump the post so you guys see it. If you haven’t read the latest installment, spoilers will abound!

IMAGE+ has previews of upcoming comics and interviews with their creators. It’s pretty great. If you’re just a TWD reader we’re hoping you’ll give it a chance. There is so much more to comics than just THE WALKING DEAD (as awesome as it is). And we LOVE it when you guys visit comic shops. Local businesses that sell cool, geeky stuff, and can help you find really great comics to read? What’s not to love?


The latest: Chapter 2. Negan receives unfortunate news about his wife. Meanwhile, we learn one of Negan’s dark secrets…

Previously: Chapter 1. As Negan sits by a fire building a certain favorite lady, we flash back to his life before the outbreak…

        That works well if you’re in the U.S. Not otherwise apparently, you can only specify a U.S. address using the online order.

    So much information in only 4 pages. I just HAD to get a subscription this was very exciting for me to pick up. Thanks for doing this guys. I also really like the way you preview other comics with the detailed info on all the artists and writers. Im hoping you guys cram in a lot of Negan all the way up to (or as close as possible) to issue 100.

      How did you find it on eBay? I looked up “Image Plus”, “Image+”, “Image Plus Magazine”, “Image+ Magazine”, “Image Comics Magazine”, and haven’t found anything.

        eBay #381612683320, it’s on the UK site but that will work worldwide. I’m assuming it’s ok to oust this here as there doesn’t seem to be an official channel to the UK. Please edit/delete if needed Johnny & Brian.

          Better than promoting a freebie. Nobody needs to be able to get this or any other media for free or allow others to get it for free unless offered legitimately. If we love them, we support them, not steal from them. Kudos to you for buying on eBay!

            dude, everybody has downloaded pirate at least once in their life, you remind me of metallica and napster. Kirk-Man is doing pretty well for himself, as well as just about everyone involved with TWD empire. I personally buy the comics now, but didn’t start reading till the 70s. I downloaded a torrent file with all the comics and have been hooked ever since. Now I’m a loyal customer that buys the digital edition every month, plus I’ve turned on other people to it who buy on a monthly basis. There’s always a contradiction to “Nobody should ever this, or Everybody MUST do that!!” Talk like that kinda sounds like my uber religious grandparents.

    So i definitely can’t help but love this story. Negan has always been an interesting and complex character to me! I just wish the story release was all at once and not bits in 4 pages every once in a while… But wow. Who wouldn’t love to have Negan as their teacher? Cool teacher am I right? Also, can’t help but think “baby” is obviously “Lucille” his wife. I wonder if she had a heart attack or what exactly caused her to go down. Thoughts?

    I think If I were a teacher Id be like Negan, I mean, these Kids today need discipline, strong words, tough mentality to survive in this shit today, I dont care if you who read this dont agree, it is your opinion, but I prefer tough minded kids than these pussy, cry baby boys, my opinion, thanks.

    If only the strongest ones survive in todays world, can you imagine who would survive in a post zombie apocalypse world? Man, the strongest among the strongest ones, the real deal.

    People can talk shit about Negan, but in a zombie apocalypse man, you must be this tough or even tougher if you want to prolong your days in this planet, talking is easy, but survive out this mess is just another thing.

    Don’t know if this has been discussed before but I always assumed Negan was his first name. My husband said last name and so I wondered about it. Now I know…first name it is.

    P.S. THIS WAS AWESOME!!!

    He was gym coach trying to be the “cool” teacher… Oh my God, it’s so childish that it’s perfect. (And just the tiniest bit adorable.) Guess some people never grow up. And just like a real little kid, Negan is capable of fucking tormenting people and not feeling much!

      I figured he was a Football coach “Coach Negan” and just a regular teacher, as is the case with most coaches. That’s how I viewed it. I never called out gym teachers “Coach”.

    Finally picked Image+ up from my local comic book store. I imagined him being a cop, which would have been interesting as an anti-rick. But… I can easily see him as a football coach as well.

    I’m glad they are doing these, but at the same time I’m not. Only because it humanizes Negan, lol. Seriously though, it’s so weird seeing him as a normal dude trying to be cool to kids.

    I wonder if this is picking up as the apocalypse is occurring and “babe” is infected. With only a few of these, I can’t imagine them going too far in depth.

    So far so good. I hate back stories. Too often they end up ruining great characters and end up making them so much less interesting. I will never forgive the idiocy that was the Governor’s back story. I’m still a little unsure of how this will go. It’s still early and there’s a lot of room for them to fuck it up, but so far I’m enjoying it. This seems to be less about explaining why he is the way he is and more just letting us know what his life was like. This is what I wanted, but was too afraid to hope for. Pre-apocalypse Negan was still Negan.
