NOTE: Potential spoilers
Fans can finally get their first glimpse of Negan and his beloved barbed wire baseball bat Lucille on the small screen, as a teaser for The Walking Dead's season 6 finale, 'Last Day on Earth' has been revealed.
In the feature-length episode, it's pretty much a given that there will be a lot of drama and perhaps, if the comic books are to be followed, at least one death delivered by Jeffrey Dean Morgan's villainous character Negan.
If the show is to follow the comic books exactly, it will be Glenn who falls victim to Lucille, but the show and its cast and crew have always teased that things could go very differently in the television world to the one the graphic novel readers are used to.
Showrunner Scott M. Gimple previously told Entertainment Weekly in a recent interview: "Let me put it this way: Whatever it is, it's really just all in service to being faithful to the comic book inasmuch as one can. That's always going to be relatively subjective as to what that means. But taking inspiration from the moments of the comic book and playing them out to the ends of what it can be, it's all just like taking that moment from the book and figuring out a way to turn it up to get those feelings that it gave you and those emotions that it gave you that much more.
"Sometimes we have things from the book that people who read the comics maybe see coming a mile away, and we try to adjust that so that we can give them the same feeling they had when reading the book, which might have been shock or surprise or fear, any of those things. It might be wildly different, but it's all to get the same sort of feelings that you got when you read them. So will it be different? Absolutely. Will it be the same thing? Absolutely."
The Walking Dead's season 6 finale airs in the US on AMC on Sunday, following in the UK on FOX at 9pm on Monday.
