Anyway I'm not sure on where I stand with this issue. I've noticed they are trying to create a civilisation once again, but why let Negan live though? He's smashed their friend's brains in, destroyed their home, stole their supplies, killed countless others. And there is always the chance He could possibly escape and rebel against them.
I totally thought Michonne had died when they started charging. I though some sneaky fucker had caught up behind her and stabbed her in the end, but it turned out it was just his arm positioned that way.
Dwight is in charge of the Saviours, Rick is in charge of Alexandria, Maggie in charge of the Hilltop and Ezekiel's in charge of the Kingdom. That's more badass than the shitty council in the TV that served no purpose really.
I liked Maggie's comment about Glenn not wanting them to kill Negan because it's so true. This is the man who saved a stranger in Atlanta and didn't like the possible execution of Ben, so it was very true in character.
I think Carl should've killed Negan though. Haven't they forgotten about Dexter, they pissed him off and he tried to get his revenge. Surely to god they would have remembered that.
Really excited for the next issue though. I honestly think this is just the beginning of the Walking Dead. The events before were more like a prologue, this is when civilisation starts to rebuild.

I really hope Kirkman isn't starting to blend the TV and the comics together. I love them both (the comics way more than the TV though) but there is something wrong when the source material starts to take ideas from the adaption.

GUYS GUYS GUYS, I JUST GOT NEWS OF SOME HYPEASS SHIT.
A friend of mine found an ''cut ending'' page. It is what was MEANT to happen, before they changed it to Negan getting put in the prison.
It's much better than the actual ending, in my opinion.
It's all I EVER WANTED.

I still think All Out War is good. It just needed with with a whimper, not a bangSorry you defended a pile of turds.....
Imagine a group of a hundred motorcycles driving down a freeway. Eventually, they hit a junction. One road goes northwest and the other goes northeast. So one guy, we'll call him S, says, "Let's go northwest!" A mile past the intersection, a semi careens into the group and kills ninety of them. Ten are wounded, but they survive and keep going. Eventually, they hit 10,000 miles. S suddenly has his consciousness thrown into his past body right before the junction. Now, he says, "Let's go northeast!" All 100 bikers survive. Happily ever after, right? But what about the ten, no nine, who went northwest and survived? What happens to the reality they were living? Does it just disappear now that S has changed the past? It's not like only bad things happened on that 10,000 mile journey. Maybe one of them fell in love with a gas station attendant and got her pregnant or maybe one adopted a homeless kid that joined the adventure. That 10,000 mile journey would be full of stories. Romances, farewells, friendships...the loss of those ninety lives is horrible and unfortunate, but what would rewriting their history mean? The nine who survived lived full lives and did the best they could with the hand they were dealt. How could it be right to just erase all that? Isn't that worth something? Is there a point to a world where everything is happy? Are people who struggle for a better life just idiots? Being human is about fighting even when it seems hopeless and finding happiness in a world that hates it. Are you saying that's worthless?

It was also hideously out of character for Maggie. I'd be fucking enraged if I was her
Also, the "We'd be no better than him" line. No, Rick. You'd be a better guy than him

I think the biggest thing about this arc that annoys me is the whole 12 part storyline thing. Some of the issues (124 especially) reeked of filler. It seems like Kirkman had no ideas for what he would do in the issues after 100 and made it up as he went along. It really spells cash-grab all over the arc and Kirkman was wrong for deceiving readers into believing the arc was something it wasn't.

Wow.
Yeah.
Okay.
Anyone wanna come over for some pizza and wine?
Pizza definitely. I think AOW was definitely overhyped. I think Negan being jailed4lyfe could be interesting and set up some future conflict. Will he try to escape? Are there still Negan Loyalists? Who are these new people in the next couple issues? Will Rick need a wheelchair after Negan snapped his leg at the knee in the wrong direction essentially becoming The Walking Dead's Charles Xavier? I know everyone was expecting Negan to eat shit, but I think I'm starting to like how this ended the more I think about it. We've all become accustomed in The Walking Dead for death, violence, gore etc, but this issue does infact change everything in the way of Rick and his peoples thinking and how they will forge a new and better world together. I'm curious to see what new threats Captain Kirkman is cooking up. I for one am glad that no major players died in this issue.

yeah after Maggie pummeled Rick in 101, I was expecting her to be pissed that they weren't executing him. However, I do think that with the kind of person Glen was he may have agreed with Rick. Life rotting in prison is no picnic. Death is too good for Negan.

.Who else thought that Andea had sniped Negan down I was so pissed at that point.
That's what I thought, too. I remember thinking, "oh, everyone in the forums is going to fucking hate this."
Little did I know.
I also thought Dwight was going to kill Rick and take over. Then I thought Carl had killed Negan.
So many fake outs.
But I'm staying positive, I mean. I don't know. I guess Negan is going to be total comic relief from now on.
We didn't even find out who Olivia is sleeping with. Man. Well, maybe she'll start the first ever post-apocalyptic Prison Pen Pals program with Negan.

My reaction to 125:
My reaction to 126:
I was way too lazy to sign in until I saw this! HA! I fucking love that music video and this is such a great gif, definitely saving it to my gif folder
But yeah, the issue, uhm... Yeah.
I actually didn't hate AOW, and I'm pretty sure I called Negan living from the BEGINNING (granted I was joking then, and now I'm just like, "Yeah, I totally meant that.") haha
Two things I wish were different though (both having to do with Negan dying) 1) I don't care HOW much Rick wants to be a good guy and rebuild civilization, he SWORE he was going to kill Negan and Negan said, "NO! You won't!" So... Negan gets the satisfaction of being right the whole time!
2) Rick wants to be good, and be president... Okay cool, I support that. But don't you dare start making Carl a little whiny bitch again, he's a cold blooded asshole now and I wanted him to look over at Rick and be like, "Fuck you, Dad." and blow Negan's brains out. Carl risked his own life to sneak into a savior's moving truck to try and kill Negan IN HIS OWN HOME, and yet he just lets Rick talk him out of it like that.
Eh. I call that Carl is still going to sneak into jail and wreck Negan's shit.

I do hope they make him into a town fool/jester so Kirkman can keep writing fuck.(sarcasm, the guy writes the word fuck like a kid who just learned the word.)
Can anyone really believe there isn’t going to be some kind of consequences for leaving him alive?
I think Kirkman has to keep thinking of these ridiculous ideas to keep us from guessing but whats next? Negans going to reform his life and become a new man. There will be some loyalist to break him out and he'll be all religious like and say no this is what I got coming to me god has a plan. It just seems like a joke to leave him alive. And the thought of him coming back and still being in comic has really made me hate this decision.

I think Negan being prisoner is a good twist and should set up good conflict in the future. It should've been executed better, though. The Saviors should've taken a hostage, too or something so it would be more justified. The "Glenn would want that" and "We'd be no better than him" comments were a load of shit
I'm betting my account that this decision bites Rick in the ass
All his decisions bite him in the ass.
This all leads up to the inevitable Negan realizing he can help and joins the group.
"Yeah, let's fuck this dog."
