The Walking Dead: Negan Comic a Future Possibility for Robert Kirkman

The Walking Dead comic series may have ended, but that doesn’t mean Robert Kirkman is done telling stories in that world, especially when it comes to Negan. The closing pages of the series finale issue contained a letter from Kirkman to the fans reflecting on the ending of the comic, but he left us with one final teaser: “PS - Negan lives.”

During Kirkman’s fan Q&A panel at San Diego Comic Con 2019, he was asked for more information on Negan and whether that postscript teaser could lead to another Walking Dead comic showing what happened to the fan-favorite character.

During the Marvel Games Panel, Crystal Dynamics showed off footage from its upcoming Marvel's Avengers game. Along with an extended gameplay video, Crystal Dynamics showed off the customization menu for Avengers. Crystal Dynamics director Shaun Escayg says that players will be able to customize Heroes with "classic, fan-favorite, and all-new outfits."

Similarly, players will be able to customize how their heroes play by unlocking new skills and choosing the gear that suits their play styles. So one player's Captain America could look and play differently from someone else's Captain America. Some suits will be inspired by the comics, while others will be original. Thor in full Viking armor, Hulk in a mafia-style suit, Captain America in a gray suit were shown off during the Hall H panel.

Stranger Things Star Addresses Lingering Question About Will

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD for Stranger Things Season 3

Stranger Things’ Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers, has addressed fan conversation around a scene that could suggest his character is gay.

The scene in question takes place in episode 3, and sees Will become upset that Mike and Lucas would rather discuss their relationships with Eleven and Max rather than play Dungeons & Dragons. In response, Mike says “It’s not my fault you don’t like girls,” resulting in a devastated Will riding off on his bike.

But what was meant by that comment? “It’s really up to interpretation,” Schnapp said in an interview with TheWrap. “While all the characters were out developing and growing up, Will was in the Upside Down and he was alone there, not interacting with or connected to his friends or the rest of the world. And when he got back, he expected everything to just go back to how it was before, how it was when he was normal and when he was a kid and he wanted to go back to the basement and play D&D.”
