The Walking Dead did not pull its punches regarding its character deaths. Throughout its two-decade-spanning run, readers were constantly stunned by the horrible fates that befell their favorite characters. The central tenet Creator Robert Kirkman held throughout his series was “No one is safe,” allowing him to depict a “realistic” zombie apocalypse. Plot armor be damned.
Even more so than the TV show, The Walking Dead comic pushed boundaries by brutally killing off its characters. Each death was a stark reminder of the harsh reality within Kirkman’s apocalyptic world. Though the series has now come to an end, these merciless moments will stick with readers forever.
Abraham’s death occurs at the zenith of his character arc: forgiving his romantic rival Eugene for starting a relationship with his ex-Rosalia. Suddenly, he is shot through his eye by a crossbow by a member of Negan’s group, the Saviors. Miraculously, Abraham speaks as if nothing happened, blessing Eugene to be with Rosalia. Before he can say anything else, he succumbs to his wounds and dies. Abraham’s death kicked off the Savior’s arc, igniting the war between Negan and Alexandria. In the TV show, Abraham (alongside Glenn) is directly killed by Negan, bashed in the head with Lucile, his barbwired baseball bat. This is one of the rare times a character’s death in the TV show is more brutal than in the comics.
