Of course he ain't dead c'mon yall. he can't die til...
The Negan storyline. Yea things can be changed but I think he's pretty crucial to that storyline and i believe they want to be faithful to the comic on it.
My only question is does he crawl up under the dumpster and wait them out or does he pull a Killa Carol by putting the zombie juice on himself and just walking thru the crowd?
You could have said the same thing about Tyrese/Michonne & the Govenor
