We've hardly been introduced to Negan on The Walking Dead TV series but we've been seeing a lot of him in the off season.

Following a batch of a photos from Season 7 earlier this week, a new photo which slipped through the cracks has surfaced. Maybe Negan is just playing with us now. He's gunning down someone (or something) from a window perch and definitely looks like he is having some fun with it.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan was cast as Negan just days prior to finding himself on set and in character. A huge fan of the comics, Morgan tells ComicBook.com he is ready for "the long haul" with this character and is in fact a huge fan of Robert Kirkman's comics. The actor stays up to date, in fact, and is ready to see the recent moments between Negan and Alpha adapted to television. It'll be a while until then, though, as we're only getting started with the villain.

To end Season 6, Negan stepped out of an RV and introduced himself to the world. The Walking Dead fans lost their mind as the iconic character was adapted from the comic book series to television but had no idea what they were in for. The audience's excitement would soon turn to rage and curiosity as Negan selected a victim at random and bashed their head in to close out the season, leaving us all wondering who it was that he killed.

Check out the new photos of Negan wielding some powerful weaponry in the gallery below.

The Walking Dead will return for its seventh season October 23 at 9 PM ET on AMC. For complete coverage, insider info, and more all season long, be sure to follow me on Twitter @BrandonDavisBD and check out The Walking Dead on ComicBook.com on Facebook.
