“Hot Diggety Dog!”

Negan & Lucille

– we caught up with the 10th season of The Walking Dead. The final episode tells the past history of the villainous antagonist Negan Smith and his wife Lucille. Early days of the zombie apocalypse only hints at his tyrannical dictatorship of the Saviors. His weapon of choice, a barbed wire headed baseball bat, gets named after Lucille. Negan is seen wearing a motorcycle tshirt, and his signature leather biker jacket is introduced.
