he ever had as an actor while filming.
He also mentions the heavy role of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the actor of Negan. He had to recite an extraordinary
dialogue on his first day. He described Morgan as one of the nicest guys you can meet
, who had to play one of the most unpleasant characters

How does Glenn die in the comics? Glenn’s death is very close to the comics. There, too, he dies at the hands of Negan, who kills him with a brutal blow to the head. The scene in the comic mirrors the brutality of the TV series. However, in the series, he also kills Abraham, who is killed by a follower of Negan in the comics.
The scene with Negan was a big cliffhanger at the time, as it was unclear whom and how many the villain would kill. In the many seasons of The Walking Dead, there have been many tragic deaths. But that is probably normal in a zombie apocalypse. Also in these series, tragic moments are pre-programmed: 7 series like The Walking Dead
