You know what's really crazy, though?! You thinking we're all just going to fall in line and do what you tell us to do. Thinking I'd be afraid enough to let you tell me what to do. Those days are over.
―Sherry to Rick.[src]

Sherry is survivor of the outbreak and later an antagonist in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. She is one of the original members of the Saviors, and was the wife of Dwight before she ended up marrying Negan. During the war with the Whisperers, Sherry takes charge of her group and they plot to take over Alexandria. She served as the secondary antagonist of Volume 27: The Whisperer War and the primary antagonist of Volume 28: A Certain Doom.

Overview[]

On her initial introduction, Sherry is shown to be a weary yet kind-hearted individual, looking out for her friends (such as Amber and Mark) and trying her best to maintain the peace. She also appeared to be invested in the emotional well-being of those around her, as seen when she comforted Mark over Amber's disappearance.

Following the end of the war between the joint communities and the Saviors, however, Sherry's true personality gradually starts to surface. Even though she was free of Negan, Sherry left Dwight for another man once more, greatly attributing to his self-doubt that ultimately caused him to resign as leader of the Saviors. Though Dwight initially believed Sherry became one of Negan's wives to better both of their lives, it is implied that she only did this for her benefit. Negan also describes Sherry as an opportunist, a sentiment that is reinforced in Here's Negan, where it is implied that she started her affair with Negan much sooner than previously thought. As leader, she starts exhibiting signs of megalomania, partially caused by being forced to submit to Negan. Though Rick tries to reason with her, she attacks him for what she perceives is him trying to control her, leading to her death.

Pre-Apocalypse[]

Location Unknown[]

Nothing is known about Sherry's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that she was married to Dwight.

Post-Apocalypse[]

Here's Negan[]

Sherry is introduced to Negan by Dwight. She initially distrusts him but gradually warms up to him, as evidenced by her flirting with Negan.

Life at the Sanctuary[]

At some point after the Saviors discover the Sanctuary, Sherry agrees to become one of Negan's wives (being the first one to do so), with the justification that it would make life easier for herself and her husband, Dwight. However, she underestimated how much she would miss him after the separation, so the two continued to have an affair behind Negan's back. After Negan found out, he presumably gave her the same offer he would later give to Amber: going back to Dwight or staying with Negan. Sherry chose the latter, resulting in Dwight being punished by having his face burnt with an iron. She later convinced Amber to become one of Negan's wives as well.

What Comes After[]

Sherry is first seen comforting Amber, and tries to help her by telling Negan to go easy on her. She is seen also in the area where Mark is being tortured. She attempts to talk to Dwight, but, is angrily rebuffed by him.

Life and Death[]

Sherry is mentioned by Dwight, who he reveals is with another man, and is happier with him. She is also seen comforting Mark about his theory that Amber has gone off with a different man.

The Whisperer War[]

When Vincent arrived at the Sanctuary looking for aid to fight the Whisperers, Sherry refused to send help. Sherry asked Tara to go and find Vincent before he makes it back to Alexandria. Later, Negan teases Dwight, revealing Sherry was always an opportunist. Negan's assumption is proven to be quite right, as she reveals to Tara that when Rick has dealt with the Whisperers, they will take out Alexandria and take over.

A Certain Doom[]

Sherry, John, and other Saviors arrive at the outskirts of Alexandria while it is overrun. They wait for the herd to thin out, before going in. While fighting a bunch of walkers, Dwight, Heath and Laura were taken captive by her order and she confronts Rick and demands to leave the network he built with the other communities. She and Rick have a talk in the hall where she threatens him. The meeting later escalated into a fight with her almost choking Rick to death, but she got kicked away by Rick, accidentally killing her by breaking her neck on a table.

Death[]

Killed By
  • Herself (Indirectly Caused)
  • Rick Grimes (Accidental)
  • Dwight (Presumably, Before Reanimation)

As Sherry attempts to strangle Rick to death, Rick pushes her off of him, sending her flying against a table, breaking her neck in the process. After Rick killed her, it is most likely that Dwight put her down before reanimation.
