After four seasons, The Walking Dead finally printed Negan’s surname in the last installment of the prolonged season 10. This weekend delivered episode 10×22 “Here’s Negan,” which unveiled the origins of everyone’s favourite bat-wielding reformed villain. For the maximum phase, it caught intently to what author Robert Kirkman set out in his spinoff miniseries of the same name. However, it also featured one main revelation that the comic books never did, as now we all know that Negan’s last name is – get able for it – Smith.

While it wasn’t stated aloud, those who were paying consideration could have noticed that “Smith” was once written on Negan and Lucille’s mailbox outside their pre-apocalypse house. Meanwhile, Negan’s number of sports activities trophies in his basement showcases one prize awarded to “Negan Smith” in case you look carefully at the inscription. Also of notice is that a pennant on display at the back of it is for Saviors Athletics, which would possibly tell us where Negan got the name for his Saviors from.

Though Negan’s last name wasn’t showed any place in the comics universe, the revelation that it’s Smith seems to were impressed by a tongue-in-cheek comment Kirkman has made on the matter in the previous. When asked what Negan’s circle of relatives name was all over a convention appearance in 2018, the comedian creator made one up on the spot. “His last name is Smith, there we cross,” he stated. “Is that a just right one?” The TV show has now taken this comic story and made it canon, it kind of feels.

Though “Here’s Negan” spoke back a large number of questions fans had about the ex-foe’s backstory, we’ve nonetheless got lots extra from the personality to come back in season 11. Though banished from Alexandria through Carol at the beginning of this last episode, Negan adopts something of his previous perspective by means of the finish of it, returning to the settlement with a swagger, in the face of Maggie’s fury at seeing him. It seems like there’s a large showdown to come back between the two of them when The Walking Dead heads again to AMC for new episodes this summer, and we can’t wait to peer it play out.
