Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Few deaths in the history of comic books have been as tragic as Glenn's murder in The Walking Dead, but the fate of his son Hershel in the series' final issue makes this loss all the more heartbreaking in retrospect. The void left by Glenn's death was felt by every character, but the loss did the most damage to Hershel, who never even got to meet his father.

Related Walking Dead: Carl Losing His Eye Foreshadows His Tragic Future Carl losing his eye in The Walking Dead was a brutal moment in the series, but it actually had a much deeper meaning as it foreshadowed his future.

When one of these zombies gets loose and is killed by Carl, Hershel isn't upset about the potential danger the zombie could have posed, but rather bemoans the loss of an expensive zombie. He goes to the sheriff, and takes Carl to court. He's upset that people revere the memory of Rick Grimes, but have seemingly forgotten his own father.

Glenn's absence is felt as deeply as it ever was in Walking Dead's final issue, as readers come to terms with the sad truth that he wasn't available to help raise his son Hershel. As Earl says in the issue, Hershel "was not raised right" and "has always been trouble." However, this would not have been the case if he'd grown up with Glenn in his life.
