Over the course of The Walking Dead to date, ex-cop Rick Grimes and his ragtag group of zombie apocalypse survivors have been put through the ringer many times.
That pattern of victory seemed to drastically change once Rick’s group ran afoul of the Saviors, and their psychopathic leader Negan.
Usually, though, it’s not the undead that are the real threat to their survival, but instead those monsters very much still among the living.
That’s when Negan’s main squeeze Lucille comes out to satiate “her” thirst for blood, using the head of whoever crossed Negan for target practice.
