Having read 104 I am starting to feel that Dwight is gonna be a character that Kirkman focuses on quite often. I particularly like that now in TWD that there is a struggle of the oppressed and the powerful; we can see strong characters fighting for both sides.

Spoiler

Dwight killed Abraham with an arrow and Abraham, having recently learned a very important lesson that life is short, died right when he reached the climax of his understanding; wanting Rosita to be okay without him. I think that Dwight is cupid in this sense, because Love in some roundabout way is what led to Rosita and Eugene's relationship which led to a fallout with Eugene and Abraham, then eventually to the moment where Abraham and Eugene venture away from the Safe-Zone. That being said, I believe that Dwight is not really "cupid" but he did kill Abraham with arrow right when Abraham came to a conclusion about love; really, the end of Abraham's ark mostly consists of what I think Kirkman has to say about love: Letting go of someone that loves you can haunt you due to the fact that you want them to be okay without you, but that does not often happen, and that pain for you and that person can last until death eliminates the possibility. Considering that Dwight being offended by Negan's "throwing wood comment" could be the fact that one of Negan's wives is a former lover or something of Dwight's, maybe Dwight is a new commentary on intimate relationships in a post-apocalyptic, zombie diseased world.

Either way, I am really looking forward to Dwight's characterization as well as most of the Savior's camp.

I don't think he was offended by the throwing wood but the insinuation that negan would be pleased by his death.

I agree more with Kneelbeforegod here. I do agree with you OP that Kirkman has seemed to be following Dwight around quite a bit and I think his character might eventually play into the eventual overthrowing and/or death of Negan. Can you imagine one or more of the Saviours just growing tired of his shit and forming a rebellion with Rick?

[DaneBramage]

Could he morph into Daryl??? Just sayin...

[Kneelbeforegod]

if you mean could he also he dying in the near future....surely.

I think you've got some great thoughts in there, but I have a hard time thinking that Kirkman would limit commentary on a social norm, especially something as universal as love, to one character and the effects of his actions. Plus, Cupid's arrows create love, and Dwight's killed a man, so, if anything, Dwight symbolizes an anti-Cupid creature. It's an interesting insight, but I still think Dwight is just a commonly shown associate of a main villain, like the pudgy fellow from Woodbury whose name I can't remember.

yeah i bet he could morph into a twisted version of Daryl
regardless i dont see the end of the governor anytime soon... he has a fortified place plus more than 100 men + Carl
I doubt Rick can face it without a good strategy
if Rick survives this.. he will become the king of the hill

[Kneelbeforegod]

well I see the end of the governor actually I saw it around issue 50.....

This was my prediction
I Still think its true.

I honestly don't think Daryl Dixon is going to ever make an appearance in the comics. Kirkman may be a troll, but I don't think he'd pander that much to fanboys and fangirls of the TV show just to make more sales by having Daryl...though he did all throw us off with the cover of issue 102 didn't he. Could also be famous last words. Haha.
