Glenn's death in The Walking Dead was almost very different
Creator Robert Kirkman planned to ki🍌ll the beloved character much earlier...

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Robert Kirkman has revealed that The Walking Dead's most infamous death was due to take place much ear𓆉lier in the comic's long run and in very different circumstances.
The colorized reprint of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Walking Dead Deluxe #71 (cover below) incl🌠udes a Cutting Room Floor feature, which reveals some of Kirkman's original handwritten notes for the issue. Buried away at the bottom of the page, next to some sketched-out dia꧅logue, is a stark three-word sentence: "Glenn dies next."
This is a reference to the brutal murder of Glenn Rhee, one of the longest-running and most beloved characters in the series. His death at the hands of Negan and his baseball bat Lucille is generally cons🐈idered one of the landmark moments in both the comic book and the TV adaptation - where it proved extremely divisive.
That was not the original plan, however. Negan was still some ways off at this point and Glenn was intended to meet his fate four issues later in #75, bitten by a w💦alker - a fairly ignominious fate for such a core character.
In fact, Glenn would survive for a further 29 issues before finally dying in #100, in a scene that fe🍃w readers will ever forget.
In the Cutting Room Floor featu𝓰re, Ki🌟rkman explains why he gave Glenn a temporary reprieve.
"For whatever reason I'd earmarked Glenn for death by this point. He just seemed like the character most ripe, whose death would lead to the most story." That decision clearly troubled him, however. "G🔯lenn would most certainly NOT die next as I would continue to change my mind... again... an🐽d again..."
