Negan and Maggie are in Manhattan. What next, an Alaskan spinoff with Eugene? Just picture it: Eugene leaves the Commonwealth because he’s received a radio transmission from a science outpost in Alaska – or heck, let’s say the South Pole (go big or go home!) He ventures south, traveling by truck, by…
