The Boys: Jeffrey Dean Morgan Appreciates Negan/Homelander Comparison

As most of you know, several threads connect The Walking Dead star Jeffrey Dean Morgan to Amazon & Showrunner/EP Eric Kripke's The Boys. The obvious one starts with Kripke, who was also the creator of the Jensen Ackles & Jared Padalecki-starring Supernatural, in which Morgan portrayed their father, John Winchester. And then there's Ackles, who portrayed Soldier Boy during the third season of the streaming series (who recently discussed "daddy issues" between Soldier Boy & Antony Starr's Homelander and Ackles' Dean Winchester & Morgan's John). And then there are the ongoing efforts for Morgan and Kripke to match their schedules long enough for Morgan to appear in some meaningful way (maybe Season 4?). But underlying all of this is that Morgan is a big fan of the show and has made everyone aware of how much via social media. So when The Walking Dead World tweeted a great comparison between how Morgan's Negan would feel going five minutes without a "dick joke" to Homelander attempting to calm down & keep from losing his collective s**t.

Here's a look at Morgan's tweet offering some deep appreciation for comparing "The Redeeming" with "The Irredeemable":.

Now here's a look at what attendees at this year's San Diego Comic-Con can expect from AMC's "The Walking Dead" universe as the franchise series holds its final panel:

"Tales of the Walking Dead" (Friday, July 22 at 12:30 PM PT, Hall H): The panel will introduce fans to this new episodic anthology consisting of six original one-hour standalone episodes focused on both new and established characters within the walker apocalypse. The stakes are high in each story, pushing new, indelible characters with relentless, life-threatening choices and situations as we get to see the apocalypse through different eyes, discovering more worlds, mythos, and mysteries of the "Walking Dead." Moderated by Chris Hardwick (Talking Dead), the panel will feature Chief Content Officer of The Walking Dead Universe, Scott M. Gimple, Showrunner & Executive Producer Channing Powell, Director & Executive Producer Michael Satrazemis, and cast members Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Samantha Morton (The Walking Dead, Harlots), and Danny Ramirez (Top Gun: Maverick) with additional cast pending.

"The Walking Dead" Season 11C (Friday, July 22 at 1:30 PM PT, Hall H): Hardwick moderates the final panel for the hit series ahead of its last eight episodes this fall. This must-watch panel will feature Gimple, Showrunner & Executive Producer Angela Kang, Executive Producer, Director & Special Effects Makeup Supervisor Greg Nicotero, and cast members Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Christian Serratos, Ross Marquand, Khary Payton, Seth Gilliam, Josh McDermitt, Michael James Shaw, Cailey Fleming, and Lauren Ridloff as they answer fan questions, share behind-the-scenes stories about filming the final season, and reveal the highly anticipated trailer for season 11. In the upcoming final episodes of "The Walking Dead," threats lurk around every corner, dead and alive, as each group continues to get caught in uncontrollable situations. The looming pressure is cresting towards a day of reckoning for all. Will the sum of their individual journeys cumulate into one, or divide them forever?
