How It Happened: While bonding with Carol out in the prison courtyard, Axel unexpectedly took a bullet in the head from The Governor, who had quietly arrived at the prison perimeter with several of his men to wreak vengeance for everything that had happened when Rick, Michonne, and the others had swept into Woodbury to rescue Glenn and Maggie.

Why It Was Great: Axel turned out to be a pretty good guy, and his undeserved death was both shocking and one more reason to root for The Governor to be taken down.
