Now that The Walking Dead comic has ended, creator Robert Kirkman is coming clean on who his favorite character is… and honestly, it’s not too much of a surprise.
During The Walking Dead TV series panel at New York Comic Con, Kirkman said Negan is his favorite character, and why he never revealed that detail up until this point.
“I think it’s OK for me to finally admit that Negan is my favorite character. I didn’t want to do that before because I didn’t want people to go, ‘Well, he’s never going to kill that guy,'” said Kirkman.
Despite being the villain for many issues (and TV show seasons), Kirkman never did end up offing Negan in the 193 issues of the comic, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t think about it.
