I finally got around to reading Walking Dead 17, and holy fuck, this Negan guy is scary. This series is certainly my favorite series ever, and the only thing I can say that it's lacking are big time villains. They had Shane, and the Governor, but now, this Negan dude has taken the cake. I won't go into who he killed and how, but it was startling, shocking, and completely story changing.
Carl's story is slowly taking center stage, and it is starting to worry me. Rick and Carl's relationship is becoming less father/son, and more sergeant/soldier. One of the reasons that Kirkman is so good is how he writes Carl, showing us exactly what would happen to a child who actually grew up during the zombie apocalypse. Carl is still a good kid who believes in doing the right thing, but he is completely desensitized to death, and isn't bothered by it anymore, at all.
This issue was a much darker step in the direction towards Carl taking this fucking story over, and the introduction of Negan and his Saviors makes things once again remarkably tense. Issues #15 and #16 left us brimming with hope for Rick and team's new community, and #17 did what Walking Dead always does, it fucked our feeling of happiness and hope right in the ass.
