Luke (Comic Series)

"You are not really buying into this are you? You think these people are actually what they claim to be? No way."

- Luke to Magna

Luke is a character first encountered in Issue 127 of Image Comics' The Walking Dead and is a member of a small group of six people led by Magna trying to survive in the Washington D.C., area.

Pre-Apocalypse
Nothing is known about Luke's life before the outbreak began.

A New Beginning
Luke is travelling with Magna and the rest of their group through Washington, D.C. when they are found by Jesus. Jesus escorts the group back to Alexandria to be interviewed by Rick Grimes. During the meeting, Luke tells Rick that Magna is their leader, and the reason they have made it so far.

Along with the rest of his group, Luke is interviewed by Andrea and later on debates about the group's next move against Alexandria.

Luke later on goes with Kelly and Magna into Alexandria's jail where he sees Negan who grabs onto the bars of the cell, asking if they're there to save him from the people of Alexandria, saying that they're "animals." Magna quickly sees through his act, however, and they leave.

Luke is with Magna when they sneak into Andrea's house and demand answers about the community.

Whispers Into Screams
Luke is present when Andrea is explaining her group's history. As she leaves to get coffee, Luke asks for two cups.

Killed Victims
This list shows the victims Luke has killed:
 * Numerous counts of zombies

Killed By
Alpha disguises herself as one of Rick's people and infiltrates the fair grounds. Gradually, she begins luring people off the fairgrounds and decapitating them, then placing their heads on wooden pikes to mark the border between the land belonging to the Whisperers and Rick's communities, with Luke being among them. He would later be put down.
 * Alpha and The Whisperers
 * Carl Grimes/Andrea/Dante/Lydia (Zombified)

Magna
Luke is shown to be very supportive of Magna being the leader of their group. This is shown in their initial meeting with Rick when he confirms that they all see her as their leader.

Later, a subtle hint is made that he might have a crush on Magna. When Magna admits that she doesn't have an eye for figuring out people's relationships, he mumbles under his breath, 'Tell me about it.' with a disappointed expression. This is further hinted when Yumiko tells Magna that Luke is probably crying into his pillow because she refuses to have sex with him.

Andrea
Luke and Andrea had a rough relationship. This is shown when Magna and her group, including Luke, attacked Andrea as she enters her home. Their relationship seems to have stabilized since Andrea's exposition.
