Magna's Group
A small group of six survivors led by a woman named Magna. They are introduced in Issue 127, becoming the first new survivors introduced after the Time Skip at the end of "All Out War". After an encounter with a herd being directed away from the Kingdom by survivors from Alexandria, the group is invited to join the community, an offer which they accept. open/close all folders
Magna
Magna
- Debut: Issue 127
The leader of a small group of survivors who fled from a community in Richmond, Virginia based out of a nursing home after the leadership became tyrannical.
- Action Girl: She is on par with Andrea and Michonne in combat capability.
- Berserk Button: She is not at all happy to find out that the Commonwealth operates on a class system and wants to leave immediately despite how safe everything is.
- Distaff Counterpart: Shares a lot of similarities with Rick. Her reaction to Alexandria is even almost exactly the same as his was, believing that it is too good to be true, and resolves to find out what they are hiding.
- The Leader: She is uncomfortable with being called the leader of her group, and tries to insist that they are a team, but Luke tells her that they are a team with a strong leader.
- Jumped at the Call: Eagerly joined the militia formed by the communities to fight the Whisperers and other threats, both for revenge for Luke and so that she could contribute to the safety of her new home.
- Living Lie Detector: She has a "very good bullshit detector" according to Robert Kirkman, and it's shown when she immediately sees through Negan's act to try and get her to set him free.
- Ship Tease: With Luke. He dies before it can go anywhere.
- Violently Protective Girlfriend: When Sebastian creepily flirts with Yumiko upon their arrival at the Commonwealth, and does not stop despite Yumiko telling him she is not interested, Magna is outraged and confronts him.
Luke
Luke
- Debut: Issue 127
Luke is a member of Magna's group.
- The Lancer: Appears to be this for Magna.
- Off with His Head!: He is a victim of Alpha's mass decapitation in issue 144.
- Ship Tease: With Magna. Of course, he dies before it can go anywhere.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Not to the extent of Bernie, but he only gets about a dozen issues and little focus before being decapitated by the new villain.
Yumiko
Yumiko
- Debut: Issue 127
Yumiko is a archer in Magna's group.
- Action Girl: She fights against the Whisperers as part of the Alexandria militia and is shown killing walkers with her bow in issue 170 while wearing nothing but her underwear.
- All Asians Know Martial Arts: No, and don't ask her.
- Berserk Button: Apparently she is rather tired of being asked if she knows kung-fu because she is of Japanese descent: no she doesn't, and will hit anybody who asks in the balls.
- Deadpan Snarker: Definitely the most snarky member of her group.
- Jumped at the Call: Like Magna, she was perfectly happy to join the militia and defend her new home.
- Meaningful Name: "Yumi" means "a bow" in Japanese.
- The Straight and Arrow Path: Uses a compound bow.

Kelly
- Debut: Issue 127

- Life-or-Limb Decision: A walker bites her right hand during the battle against the Whisperers. Magna amputates the hand to save her life after Kelly cannot bring himself to do it.
- Official Couple: She is in a relationship with Kelly.
- The Quiet One: Magna describes her as this, though she insists that she's not that quiet. Considering that she's barely spoken since, Magna's probably right.
