Hide the Baseball Bats: Negan Confirmed for The Walking Dead!


It's gonna get ugly. Really, really ugly. Confirmation has arrived that by the end of this current season, AMC's The Walking Dead will introduce infamous comic book villain Negan, and they've already cast him - Jeffrey Dean Morgan. No stranger to comic adaptations, Morgan previously appeared in Watchmen, as sociopathic crime fighter The Comedian. 

For those who haven't read the comics, we'll stay spoiler-free here, but just know that Negan was Robert Kirkman's notion of a way to "Out-Governor" The Governor, and introduce a villain of even more menacing brutality, infamous for committing one of the most notorious acts of violence in the book's history. 

Especially in light of recent events on the show (or not...), Negan may be different than he was in the comics. The Governor certainly was. But it looks as though next season is going to find our intrepid band dealing with the mother of all monsters, who'll be rearing his head - and his bat, by this season's finale. Wash that man's mouth out with soap!
