There were whispers and I was afraid.
And here it is without the dress:
I really feel like Charlie Adlard & Dave Stewart are rocking these new covers. The rain looks so good. But who’s that down in the mud? More new characters, or familiar ones obscured by the rain?

Awesome!
It looks like Zombies are the main threat now.
And what’s with that guys leg? Is it broken?
Did they always have names for individual issues or is that a relatively new thing? Looks awesome! 127 was amazing by the way, read it twice already.
yeah i;m confused by that. 127 had A NEW BEGINNING on the cover but I thought that was the name of the new VOLUME, not the individual issue itself…
Yeah same here i thought it was going to be called A New Beginning either way i don’t mind that they are individually named chapters.
They have always had there own name for every comic.
I thought it was an arc title.
Taglines
It could still be the volume name. 127 was double length, 128 is supposed to be long too. Maybe it’s only a three issue volume due to the length of each issue?
Just looked at the old post for #128 and in the post it has the text “after all this time, she should be more prepared” and in the #129 post it has “even now they still find new way to dispose of the dead” could these be onthe top of theses issues too?
No, they’re teaser lines/ plot synopses
Taglines.
Who are those guys? I don’t recognize either of them does anyone else?
new people new look new everything
I THINK IT’S SHANE AND DALE
These walkers must’ve heard the fair is in town!
Zombie clowns anyone?
They make crazy movies!
Zombieland
One of my top 5 films, of all time!!
One of my favorites also.
its “da bomb”
Oh yeah it definitely is da bizzzzomb !
Yes I didn’t really like the Tv pilot they could of came up with some different characters.
I thought the same, if they could of recreated the humour and in the same universe but just with different characters it could of been a hit. Swing and a miss.
That’s whaaasup (different context, same word–like it?)!
i like it:)
A surprise herd?! This is what happens when Eugene doesn’t get out anymore.
True !
Check out thoses knee pads, where did they get those? Jason?
I didn’t notice that it’s a trend it’s looks like BMX gear with the chest padding.
Yeah I thought it looked a lot like BMX gear to, i’m surprised we don’t see more this, there has to be NFL Padding, Hockey/ Baseball masks kicking around? would make sense that people would use these to protect themselves
Yes indeed hockey mask would be awesome
I think they are lacking dogs mans best friend.
Wow…reading this after I replied to you about dogs on the other thread! Great minds!
Bike store
looking at this image and were this carefully placed protection is i would say he knows Eugene, or at least knows of his reputation for crotch biting, which is i’m guessing now that 2 years has passed is legendary.
There better be some insight written on this! lol
Lol
Walmart, seriously they sell everything there….
My bad….ASDA.
lol
Lol
agree, i was thinking the same thing
Holly crap on a cracker! A new arc tillie and its not 3 words, like ever arc so far? Oh and erm this is only 3 issues since a new beginning? Lizziy explain please? Pllllleeeeeeeaaasssssseeee 🙂
They are dressed the same as Jesus and Heath so they are probably from Alexandria.
where do i read the new issues? I am up to all out war part one but nothing else is out here? where do i read the newer ones?
Image website
Dwight.
Needs to make a appearance.
Really could be Dwight and Aaron and if not its obviously some new folks or the new guy Luke http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/Luke_(Comic_Series) simply explaining his past experiences in an “interview”.
Just My .02…. Anyone else got an idea?
I figure first impression speculation is better than having no opinion worthy of intelligent conversation i could always just just say
Poopballs.
You are on to something probably Magna’s friends they got the new school kneepads.. Btw poopballs is a awesome way to start a intelligent conversation lol .
Damn, maybe I should have said, “hey, Kirkman always throws a poopball”.
Daryl & Merle….hey, Kirkman always throws a curve ball.
Are we getting the redressed covers of 128 and 129 any time soon?
got bored so made them myself
Good color choices.
Good Job sam, i like it. But will the title still be ” a new beginning”? or will we be getting new titles for every issue now? like on 130 above,
OK, here it is. These guys look like they were trying to get it on with each other in that ditch and are mad because the zombies/stinkers/biters/walkers/roamers TOTALLY killed the mood. All they were trying to do was some Medieval role playing with each other and that’s why they have on the body armor. Plus they have a ditch/rain/mud fetish they were trying to fulfill. I may have been wrong with my vehement insistence that Lilly Caul was the #127 cover girl, but I know I’m right about this one!! Poor guys…
Muahahahahahaaa!
Actually guys those phrases are just the solicitations. They provide one for each issue but this is the first time they’ve started putting them on the covers. I don’t really get why though. It’s basically just a vague description of what might be going on in the issue.
What threw me is that there’s a post on here that identifies that as an arc:
https://www.skybound.com/the-walking-dead/new-dress-for-twd-127/
You’re right and with issue 127 being the start of a new arc that makes sense. Why they didn’t continue the trend on 128-130, I have no idea. I know if you look at the covers on the Image website the phrases seen after issue 127 would be the solicitations. I think they’re just trying to confuse us.
Also, as someone pointed out earlier, the arc titles always consist of a three word phrase (A Larger World, Something To Fear, All Out War, etc.) and they always span six issues with the exception of AOW, so it wouldn’t make sense that they change the title of the arc from issue to issue.
Yeah, I see what you mean. Thinking about that, I think I’d rather see an arc title up there for the starting issue & let the “solicitations” be for the articles that are previewing them, not the issues themselves.
Agreed. It should say “A New Beginning” at the top of each issue of the arc. Maybe include the solicitation at the bottom or on the inside cover.
Inside cover would do nicely!
Two more new characters? Nice!
Are we going to see covers 128 and 129 with the new dress before their release?
I like the new cover design. Shrinking the title gives Adlard more space to work with.
“There were whispers and I was afraid.” I’m thinking that maybe Negan was the one who said that line.
This is an AWESOME cover! I love it!
