138 is the end of an arc. Will this Whisperer stuff get wrapped up? What will we learn? I’m digging the new baddies, what do you guys think so far?

BUT THAT 139 COVER! What do you guys think this all means? How big is the world at this point in the apocalypse? Are those Asian-style sails?

Have you guys commented on 135 yet? CARL!

      No I don’t think it will be Carl, Its the same whisperer that pointed that double barrel shotgun at Dante at the end of Issue 132 most likely. Maybe they’ll want to trade Lydia for Dante perhaps? I dunno, im excited to see how everything plays out.

    my jaw literally dropped when i saw the 139 cover. just imagine all the possibilities! maybe they’ll travel to Asia, or Russia, or Europe. but, on another note, i will be REALLY disappointed if they wrap up the whole whisperer arc up too quickly. they’re just so damn interesting. they have potential to be the biggest threat of the series so far, even bigger than negan. i hope its not resolved within the next couple volumes, that would be really anti climatic. anyways, totally love the new covers. I’m more excited for the future of the walking dead than i ever have been!

        I think the Whisperers will be around for a while. They are a force to be reckoned with & I imagine at the least, have probably changed the attitude/approach towards what may or may not be a roamer. Lydia makes it seem like they are similar to The Hunters, but just happen to have a much better MO. That’s material well worth extending & expanding upon!

    okay i was thinking the Asian thing too, before i even red it at the end. so i definitely think these guys are chines, Korean, Japaneses, or something. I’m thinking this for two reasons, the sailboat on the left of 139 and the belt buckle in 138, sadly thought, not sure if Kirkman would tell us much about whats going on over there, he has said before that the only way we will figure that out is if Rick and co. were to go there themselves. anyway Lydia doesn’t look all that Asian and Lydia sound like more of an american name to me, but she could have been picked up when they arrived to america. also in Asia children are expected to grow up fast and she is only 16, but in Asian culture women also wouldn’t be sent out to fight as Lydia was. im really not sure what to think, who knows with Kirkman, cant wait to find out, hopefully whatever Maggie has to show Jesus might reveal a little more.

      Does look Asian, doesn’t it. My money is still on Tara (Asian-American) from issue 104 to be the leader of the Whisperers. She has no problem killing, and is warped in the head.

      I’m totally with you on that one about Michonne exploring other areas via boat, and think you may be on to something- nice prediction!! A lot of people have been speculating about Michonne being the leader of The Whisperers but I do NOT think she is- if she was, wouldn’t she know where everyone lives? So if there was some sort of falling out she knows exactly where ASZ, The Hilltop, The Saviors and The Kingdom are and could easily track them down and not have to wander around.

      Max, you don’t think “Negan” is solid? I struggle with “Magna”, I admit…but “Negan”…that’s on the one! I think “Zeke” is too close to being a nickname for Ezekiel. What about “Saul” or “Cain”? You know, it’s gotta be Biblical!

        Cain would be awesome. He could use a huge rock, fastened to a hardwood stick as a sort of mallet or hammer. Symbolism of Cain beating Abel’s head in with a rock. 😛

    Ok, Kirkman pretty much already gave away the boats and what they are in the past few Letter Hacks. A few months ago in the Hacks, someone mentioned the possibility of surviving on boats. Kirkman replied that they would be touching on this very soon.
    Then, in the Hacks for issue #135, someone had speculated that the Whisperer’s would not be able to safely sleep among walkers, so they must have some type of dwelling; they speculated that they were cave dwellers. Kirkman replied that they are not cave dwellers, but the letter-writer was on the right track with the dwelling bit.

    So, plain and simple; The Whisperer’s live on boats! Quite possibly even corral the herds of walkers on barges for safekeeping and transport.

    Also, the cover of #138; I really think it’s Michonne. She always wanted to get away from the sword, it would maker perfect sense for her to have transitioned to a gun, while the rest of the world goes to swords and daggers. Also, that belt-buckle matches Michonne’s eccentric style perfectly. Last but not least, the title of #138-“Face to Face”, to me means not only coming face to face with the leader of the Whisperer’s; but Rick and Michonne coming face to face for the first time after their falling out.

    And I think the dragon eating it’s own tail though a Greek motif [the Ouroboros has been said to have a meaning of infinity], the Dragon appears Asian.

    Do the arms link this man to the whisperers?

    Is this a bridge between the whisperers and the Junk?

    Great to see them open up a new frontier and possibly bring in a completely foreign community. Yet, we still have no news on Michonne/Dwight/Ezekiel. So many stories that can still be told, if only they would put out two issues a month.
