Yeun is in a unique position, as his character is brutally murdered by Negan in the comics. Strangely, he seemed pretty amped about the villian in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "For me, his arrival is awesome," he said. "We've been waiting for this person for a long time, and in the comic books, he in a way brings a level of stakes that are kind of unmatched. And so, for me, for Negan to come into the show is, to say nothing less, f*cking awesome . . . I know people are going to always go, 'Negan kills Glenn in the comics,' but rest assured that we don't necessarily do what's in the comics. There's a clear divide in the way we tell a story on television, and the way that story is told in the comics, because it has to be. And everybody will have to see what happens, but we definitely tell our story in the way that television should be told."
