The Walking Dead Issue 157 is out now, meaning The Whisperer War has officially begun! With major comic storylines like this we love to go big, so we’re ALSO kicking off our six-part variant cover series! For The Whisperer War, we enlisted Arthur Adams and Nathan Fairbairn to make some of the most awesome variants covers to date; check them out below and let us know which ones you’re most excited for!

where the fucking fuck can i find these bad boys?!
These are VARIANT covers so they’re available to buy when every issue that they correspond with release.
yeah, thanks. i ended up going to my LCS after work. it looked like they only had one copy of the original left.. but then i glanced to the left and was happy af to see one lone variant right next to it B)
That’s awesome! My LCS just had the variants because the guy thought the A covers looked horrible. LOL
Gorgeous as f*ck
Boy, oh, boy! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Andrea cover! Definitely buying these when they come available! (LCS doesn’t get supplied with variants 🙁 )
Definitely buying these *ONLINE* when they come available!
The Negan one is soooo sick!
Rick looks like an angry Jared Leto….Just saying….
He’s angry about all the screen time he lost in Suicide Squad.
Anyone else notice that the carl/lydia cover is the only one that doesn’t have a whisperer on it?
Carl and Lydia are staying at the Hilltop, but will definitely engage… perhaps in the herd massacre.
Lydia WAS a Whisperer so that counts!
Holy shit! This is massive.
Ahem… I like these better than the A Covers.
Just sayin’.
Agreed. My LCS decided to just order the variants instead of the A Covers. Lol
Got the first variant today, and I must say that Michonne is making me feel…warm. *Sigh*
Anyway, it looks like a good series is on its way, although I think that Carl may be a little too muscular and I almost did not recognize Rick.
And I do wonder about that blood stain on Negan’s face. Looks like a sign…
We are in for a very freaky ride, my fellow TWDers…
Carl’s a little too muscular but you’re cool with Michonne’s PYTHONS? Lol!
2 observations. Looks like the whisperers are going to roll into battle with the huge horde of zombies they collected as additional troops. And is it just me, or is Lydia pointing her gun at Negan? I mean he did kill her mom. Could be a conflict between the two brewing.
You guys do realize that these are Variants… which can be more bluffed than the norm.
I like the variants, and obviously they do not reflect all that is going on in that issue. But it is fun to speculate… like who beat up Rick, again? Looks like Negan gouged someones eyes out. I am sure that is why he looks so insanely happy.
Carl been getting them gains, I see.
I don’t want to how he worked up that sweat to look like that…

*cough* Lydia *cough*
He gets the muscle at work blacksmithing and he burns the calories for a trim fit back at home with Lydia.~
Oh, yeah… I forgot he did blacksmithing. Gotta add that to my “Walking Dead encyclopaedia”!
I wouldn’t read anything out of the covers folks. Variants are the last place to look for clues and I doubt the artist of these has even read the whole war arc.
If you see carefully, all the survivors are fighting the whisperers, but Negan, who looks like he is severing his right hand (for the position of the thumb), who the hell knows what that means, but it is bizarre, I think it has to do with Lucille’s “death”, he is performing some kind of ritual or so. Just curious!
