7 moments pulled straight from the comics on Sunday's episode of 'The Walking Dead'
From the moment Negan first walked up to the Alexandria community gates crying "Little pig, little pig, let me in," the episode was a near-complete adaptation of issue #103.
The comics simply didn't have a chain-link fence over the gate to add dramatic effect.
In the comics, Negan brought along a big crowd of his Savior gang to check out the place.
The zoom-out in the comic really gives you an idea of how many men (and women) Negan has at his disposal, ready to ransack the place. It's a moment the show captured quite well.
Negan hands off his bat Lucille to Rick to hold before throwing out his arms to marvel at the community.
We see the same scene from a slightly different perspective, but still get Negan swinging his arms out in the background.
One of the meaner lines Negan says about Olivia, the woman left in charge of the food rations and armory, made it into the episode.
All four of these speech bubbles made it into Sunday's episode.
Carl tells Negan that all of his men should go home before they learn "just how dangerous we all are."
The scene is a bit more amusing in the comics since Carl is significantly younger.
In the same scene, we see Carl hold a man at gunpoint over taking all of the medication instead of half as originally agreed upon.
In the comics, it's Denise who delivers this line. She was killed off near the end of last season. Carl took over the scene seamlessly.
One of the most controversial lines in the issue that made it onto Sunday's show was when Negan basically told Rick that he's screwing him over and there's nothing he can do about it.
That's taken from the final panel in issue #103.
Of course, the Rick in the show looked a bit more beaten down than the one above.
If you haven't read the issue, it's a really good one. You can purchase it on Amazon here.
