The Walking Dead #156

Plot

Negan settles in to the Whisperer community, but Beta starts to question his precense. Alpha asks whether he is challenging her and her commands, but Beta assures her he isn't.

Negan starts to live his life among the Whisperers, such as proving his strength by killing walkers. Most of the Whisperers are amazed of how skilled he is, but Beta doesn't trust him. During the night, Negan sees a Whisperer woman being raped, but ends it and tries to kill the two men trying to rape her. Beta stops him and the leaders tell him this is a way for the woman to prove her strength, which drives Negan mad.

Negan and Alpha have a face-to-face conservation, where they both reveal to each other how cold and dead they are from the inside. Alpha breaks down in front of Negan. Alpha admits she is not strong and misses her daughter, Lydia, and then tells Negan he may belong here. Negan agrees, and slits Alpha's throat open. He then cuts her head off, saying "Wait until Rick gets a look at you…", suggesting he still wants to earn Rick's trust.
