After Robert Kirkman dropped hints on The Talking Dead that the show would be introducing its first gay male character, fans have been waiting for it to happen and it looks like it finally has.

In the most recent episode, Sasha and Maggie were sharing a special moment together, commiserating over the recent losses they suffered, when a strange man came out of the woods. His name is Aaron and, if the comic books are anything to go by, he is that gay character fans have been waiting for.

Using the comic books as a reference, here are some details you need to know about Aaron. Be warned: These facts could be considered spoilers since the show does tend to follow the comic series pretty closely.

Yea, I get your drift, but even my Sci-fi needs to be plausible, not real, but plausible and consistent. I need zombies to be supernatural (THE MUMMY) or scientific (LEGEND). TWD mixes the two without explanation and it bugs me too much to buy into the premise.

In the comic, Aaron's sexuality really isn't an issue. The only difference is that when Aaron or his boyfriend get killed (I forget which), instead of a woman crying for one frame, it's a guy.

It's really not much of a factor.

Had a zombe svang in his mouth you say. More pc correctness in zombie land.
