If Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard have some huge, series-altering twist in mind for The Walking Dead when it reaches the big 150-issue milestone, they certainly don't tip their hand this month. Issue #149 is a fairly quiet read, exploring more of the simmering tensions as Rick struggles to figure out how to respond to the Whisperers. This issue is a little too slow coming on the heels of so much similar character drama and build-up in previous issues. However, the interaction between Rick and his old buddy Negan definitely lends this chapter some flavor.
Negan has always ranked as the series' most colorful villain, a quality which hasn't been diminished by his spending two years locked in a cage. Robert Kirkman's script comes alive as he chronicles the reunion between Rick and Negan. The latter treats the whole Whisperer conflict like a Gordian knot, showing Rick how he can cut right to the heart of the matter by letting his sadistic side shine through. What's most interesting is that Negan's point of view isn't so unreasonable. He might just be the spark Rick and his allies need to will themselves to action. Or he could be a living sign of everything they're trying to avoid becoming. Negan, for all his bluster and bravado, is a complex character in his own kooky way.
