Issue 130 is out!!! Once you have it, this is the place to talk about it! The preview tag is: “There were whispers and I was afraid.”

Read the issue, mull everything over, and come back here to discuss the issue. If you bring the best comment we’re going to give you a signed 130 and a two-pack of Skybound Minis!

I’ll be back tomorrow with some thoughts of my own, but really I think there’s just ONE big thing to discuss…

Ok, I’m back. A couple days late, sure. But back. The one big thing to talk about that you didn’t need me to point out: TALKING ZOMBIES. What the f? Has Kirkman lost his mind? Are the walkers evolving? Or is it something else entirely?

And what’s Carl going to do now that Earl got a sidekick? That situation is a little…

UPDATE: Our favorite comment belonged to Carrie, who said,

HOLY WHAT. Oh my grimes. This issue. One of my favorites in a while!! So glad Magna didn’t buy into Negan’s crap. Baby Hershel couldn’t be more adorable but I still miss my Glenn :'(

I’m not sure how to approach what happened with the talker-AHEM I mean walkers. Could there have been people camoflouged within the walkers just like Michonne did once? Possibly. But rereading the speech bubbles again I notice they aren’t complete sentences (“Where they go.”) which is EXACTLY how a walker would communicate. ARRRG I gotta hand it to Kirkman, did not foresee this development!

Congrats, Carrie!

      Please don’t be spoiled just because of AOW. I know it’s hard to wait, but they work hard to put out even one a month. And we’re lucky they’re going to occasionally push out two a month still just for us. Look forward to two in October.

    Damn….Magna (AKA, Magda to sleepy Brian and Lizzy) saw through his lie like that, damn. That was cool. And how Negan just gave up like that?! That’s not the Asian killer I know!
    Ken and Marco…..fuuuuuck. They heard the dead speak?! AWESOME!!!!! But seriously? “Where they go?” “Don’t know. Keep moving.” “Okay.”?!?! These dead fucks need to go back to Kindergarten again, goddammit!!
    Carl can seriously put a damn tennis ball into that hole of his (The hole in his eye, not any other holes in his body) and not washing his hands after pissing? Gross. Even I don’t do that!
    HOLY SHIT. FUCK GLENN[‘s name]! HERSHEL GREENE Jr.!!!!!!!!! Holy shit, that made my night (It’s currently 12:43 a.m. and I read the issue around 12:12)! I was almost tearing up, because of that and Robin Williams’ death (NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!). And Maggie seems A LOT more hotter. Probably because of that baby being out of that belly of hers. And I thought that was Redneck Sophia for a second until I read the panel above saying that’s it’s just a boy named Rolland. Damn.

            11 years ago

            I like that theory very much 😀 Except that because we’ve seen it before it might just be a bit ‘meh’ if it gets revealed that it is a disguise technique…

          • Bastet says:
            11 years ago

            True…true…. could be an AWESOME disguise technique. With that being said, which would appeal more to you, a Walking With the Walkers disguise or Talking Walkers?

          • JMY says:
            11 years ago

            Definitely the disguise. I would hate it if the Walkers could start talking, I see them as a backdrop to the overall storyline, and they should just stay as a purpose of presenting danger and occasionally moving the story on. Although, I would like to see a variation in the types of Walkers, ones that are abnormal etc. Kinda like The Tank or The Charger in the Left 4 Dead video games…

          • Bastet says:
            11 years ago

            I don’t think I’d be a fan of talking walkers but certainly agree with you on variations of walkers! Thought I read about that somewhere but it may have been about the show.

            Maybe Michonne & Ezekiel are travelling in that pack & they have created a walker suit…….

          • JMY says:
            11 years ago

            Yea at SDCC they said that they would be showing slight variations, eg. they showed a walker with skin that was sagging and peeling off due to being submerged in water for so long, but I’d like ones with extra strength etc. without getting too cliche! Yea I hope that’s true, really want to see Michonne again 😀 And I guess with the new bi-weekly release the story will speed up!

          • Bastet says:
            11 years ago

            I think Kirkman was joking about the bi-weekly. He was saying yes, Sean was saying no.

            I’m missing Michonne now. I’m glad they’re stringing it along….continues to give me something to look forward to!

          • myepicyear says:
            11 years ago

            Yeah, that had to have been a joke. Kirkman & Co. *hated* their lives when they were putting out two issues a month, during “All Out War”. It still wasn’t enough for people and I don’t think they’ll be doing that again–unless there are serious creative or time constraints.
            As for this issue, I loved it. I have to say though.. I can’t figure out what they’re setting up the plot for, with this whole “talking walkers” thing. The issue had no singular focus on any characters. They gave glimpses into several alternating situations, but I don’t see exactly what they wanted us to take away from this months story.
            Again, great issue.. Just don’t know exactly how to “read” it, figuratively speaking.

          • Neutral Grey (Jonathon) says:
            11 years ago

            “How to read it”? Read it just as it is and always has been, simply the experiences of the survivors in the world we’ve come to know.

          • Carly Hudson says:
            11 years ago

            Ah, someone else likes to be teased!

            I hope we don’t see Michonne until the end of the end of the arc when she comes in and saves all these mother fuckers.

          • Bastet says:

            “Buying it.”
            What do you mean? Their faces convey shock and surprise, not disbelief. They probably don’t believe it (how could they?) but their faces were not suggestive of it even being a topic one could “buy” into. It was just a bombshell no one knows how to react to. Not a story to blow off like a lie.

          • Carly Hudson says:

        Let’s examine that premise. Living amoung the dead. They could, appear, and even smell like the dead, but wouldn’t the whispers give them away to the carnivores all around them?

        Why would the biters not bite?

        • Bastet says:
          11 years ago

          Maybe there was enough distance between them & walkers to allow for 2 to whisper….kinda like what we saw in the show with Rick & Glenn. Walkers do make noises, so maybe there’s enough of a disguise there to throw the walkers off, despite if they heard sounds. Do YOU think these are walkers who are regaining some brain function?

            I think there is another answer, not the talking dead.

        Maybe, they wouldn’t have shown them talking otherwise, although geography makes that a bit difficult now, Carl coming back so quickly would be odd after such a permanent seeming move for him, although I doubt Rick would object.

        Reply
        • Bastet says:
          11 years ago

          Yeah, but he’s got a friend in Negan. Rick has been too busy to listen/talk & Earl has brought in competition in the workforce….maybe the chick Carl has his eye on has found someone else to like. There’ll be some major upset there in the Hilltop. Where will Carl go? He’ll come home to talk to the one man who listened to him & that he could confide in.

          My imagination running wild.

          • Ollie Whittall says:
            11 years ago

            No, sounds about right, that new apprentice (was Roland his name?) clearly isn’t in the story as a new friend, obviously Carl is going to come into conflict with him. Even if Negan did escape, then what? Some kind of weird serial killer arc again? Or does he try and get back with the Saviors?

          • Bastet says:
            11 years ago

            Rolland….Kirkman comes up with some oddball names here & there.

            I took that jealousy/disappointment as Carl is looking for someone to be his friend (mentor) & maybe he was hoping Earl would play the part. Sets him right back up with going a little rogue, if you ask me!

            If (when) Negan escapes, I don’t picture it being a big shebang like AOW but I do think it could mean a major, major death….as in Rick’s. What you think?

          • Ollie Whittall says:
            11 years ago

            I think he’ll be out to get Rick, on the one hand he’s smart and knows his capabilities most of the time, so might go straight for Rick, on the other hand he hates the guy, so he might draw it out, and slink in the shadows, go after Andrea or Carl as well, and perhaps others who brought him down. But it could well end with him killing Rick, I’m so glad Kirkman didn’t free him right off the bat, I was worried.

          • Carly Hudson says:
            11 years ago

            If/when Negan gets free he will slowly destroy everything Rick holds dear.

            Kill Andrea, burn the town to the ground, turn Carl (walker or trader).

            Rick will be the last person he tries to kill.

          He is bright and brave, but still immature, hasn’t yet become a full man like his father, and is capable of feeling envy, jealousy and fear….powerful tools to commit a mistake.

            Perhaps. But he has a high sense of responisbility. I think he would know when not to cross into “oh my God, this is so fucking stupid why am I even doing this” route. I think he can put common sense before his own possible feelings.

            But who knows. Whatever happens with Carl I’ll drink it up because I love his character. But I have faith in the boy.

        It is pointing that direction, all the hints are clear, and something really messy eventually will happen in this new found haven, and Carl, Negan and the new Walkers breed will have a lot to say in it..

    I think this is the best issue out of this current arc. I mean, we all predicted the time jump after AOW (??? I think ???) but the end revelation to this issue was quite shocking. I hope the zombies can’t actually talk though, that would just make them look like PUSSYS, right? We all love the “GRAHHHHH” instead of (the potential?) “I’m gonna rip your f***ing head off human!!!”

    I’m not sure how to approach what happened with the talker-AHEM I mean walkers. Could there have been people camoflouged within the walkers just like Michonne did once? Possibly. But rereading the speech bubbles again I notice they aren’t complete sentences (“Where they go.”) which is EXACTLY how a walker would communicate. ARRRG I gotta hand it to Kirkman, did not foresee this development!

    I’d say that it’s not walkers gaining the ability to speak. But rather a couple of people who are walking among the walkers as Michonne did. Maybe they were following Ken & Marco in hopes of seeing where they’d return to camp at. Walkers gaining the ability to speak over time would seem silly. You’d think as time went on they’d get more decayed and less mobile, or even dumber rather than evolve. Who knows?

            For me, I don’t limit who I call friends to just those people I can see in person (I got some virtual buddies who are better at the friendship thing than the ones who call me “friend” in person…. Z-Crew, DeadHeads REPRESENT!!!). Also, ASLR is not important, as for me, there are different types of friends & different levels of friendship & we’re talking about that & not dating. I’m also a private person who doesn’t put personal info out here on the WWW. With that being said, I don’t tend to give up personal details about myself unless the conversation calls for it, as in this conversation I’m having with Epic. Epic & I both had assumptions : he assumed I was a male… I assumed he could tell I am female.

            I’m just trolling most of the time. I like people to think I like Miley, Beth , Rosita , Maggie but in reality I like a woman that is smart . I don’t care about looks , race or weight I just like a woman to have my back . Especially in the zombie apocalypse. #ThugLife

            I think Robert Kirkman is gearing up to end The Walking Dead so he can focus on Outcast .. Well that’s the rumor .

            I heard AMC is pulling the plug on the current show once the spinoff starts .

          • Bastet says:
            11 years ago

            That’s probably true. They’ll call it Daryl & the Dead.

          • Jason Thomas says:
            11 years ago

            More like Beth & the Dead .. Right ? you with me ??

          • Bastet says:
            11 years ago

            Beth dies this season. There’s a new sheriff in town & she’s pissed someone burned her moonshine.

          • Jason Thomas says:
            11 years ago

            You don’t mean that. You’re just mad they made Andrea unlikable and killed her off .

          • Bastet says:
            11 years ago

            Damn skippy about that! Except I realized Andrea was badass in the comic before the show Andrea took the big bite. By that time, I was ready for show Andrea to go!

            I heard that Little Hershel will be taking over for Rick not Carl .

          • Bastet says:
            11 years ago

            I heard Carl whittles a bat, wraps it in barbed wire, & gives it to Little Hershel for teething.

          • Jason Thomas says:
            11 years ago

            That wouldn’t be very nice . Little poor Hershel doesn’t need that kind of chaos in his mouth . Shame on Carl .

          • Bastet says:
            11 years ago

            That’s Carl being hardcore.

          • Jason Thomas says:
            11 years ago

            true that .

          • Carly Hudson says:
            11 years ago

            Carl isn’t hardcore. He’s totally emo.

          • Jason Thomas says:
            11 years ago

            I’m going for a peaceful hardcore .

          • Mark Jackson says:
            11 years ago

            Awesome! No doubt one of the best shows ever (along w/ TWD, of course). I watched 4 & 1/2 seasons in a week last summer before the last 8 episodes came on (was on vacation), and man it’s nuts!

          • Bastet says:

          • Mark Jackson says:

            I was the same way! A friend of mine tried to get me to watch it way back when the second season was on, but I was like “Cooking meth? What kind of show would that be?” Turns out, a great one! Can’t judge a book by its cover I guess

    The idea of the walkers talking makes sense. If the human brain develops from the back to the front and for the longest time the back part of the walker’s brain being the only thing to work it would make perfect sense for the brain to redevelop itself overtime.

      Interesting theory but the only thing that has me hung is the fact that they’re dead. A growing child’s brain develops & a living person can heal from brain trauma….but the dead decays. These guys are just doing it at a super slow pace. I like your thinking outside the box, tho!

    So either Marco is insane, the walkers can talk, or there are some cleverly disguised humans walking around. I kind of hope Marco has just gone bonkers though, it would be kind of funny to see people go on a pointless journey and get killed because a crazy man told them there were talking walkers and they were dumb enough to believe him.

    I just got to say… I HATE TALKING ZOMBIES. It’s not very logical and really really hope they don’t actually exist in the book. The only thing I see good coming out of talking zombies is that The groups can now study them and get a little more insight on the dead’s actions. Decent issue.

    Oh gosh, and cue my anxiety that Kirkman has jumped the shark. Although i’ve had these fears before and they’ve never been justified….YET. Please please don’t let the zombies start speaking. Arrrgh, that would be so terrible. But I don’t think Kirkman would do that. I think its a few people walking around in the horde, which would be cool.

    The dead are speaking??? Is Ken delirious and this is another Kirkman twist plot point to throw us off?? Will Carl kill the new apprentice and make it look like an accident? First off as for the dead speaking I gotta assume its not true but say it is. Will the dead work together to become better hunters? Does this mean if one of the main characters get bit their friends will become enemies? ?? Stay tuned for more of Kirkman’s genius….Awesome issue! #TheWalkingDead

    I like this issue.
    I can talk about Negan disappointment to get out of his jail, Walkers were speaking English in this issue, or baby Hershel Green Jr but nope. I don’t want to… I want to talk about the artwork in this issue. It’s been over ten years that we got rain in this issue. I got to admit. I got to adore the small detail in the artwork of this issue. I’m convinced… It does look like rain.

        The premise of the book is the story of the survivors. The zombies have been (and should always be) an obstacle to there survival like finding shelter or food. The suspension of disbelief is the fact that the dead walk around and attack the living. To now give the zombies a voice implies that they have more than just a reptile brain and don’t just follow there instincts. It wont be long before we enter the dangerous and ridiculous territory of Land of the Dead where zombies play instruments, pump gas, and use guns. What makes zombies an interesting enemy is that they are relentless and single minded. They only follow there basic urge for food and nothing more. Communication is a tool for the human survivors to over come the masses of shambling corpses not something the both use. I really hope that they don’t take the book in this direction. I think it would be a bad move for the story and the brand as whole as it could sadly make its way into the show at some point.

          Let’s just think for a second. First off the Land of the Dead reference is way off base. Much too exaggerated. Second, Kirkman is an amazing writer. The fact that something cliche as a world of zombies is gripping with him is proof enough of that. Also, this just happened. Give it time. We don’t know what’s going on. And even if the book does go in “that” direction I have faith Kirkman will make it amazing. He’s done a great job with everything else so far.

        but it does seem magical or fantasy, doesn’t it? I mean, the zombies brains are ever deteriorating, so how could they evolve? I imagine that after a few years, the zombies would dissipate to mere bones. No brain, no speech.

          The fact that corpses several years old are walking at all is also very fantasy, I think. The reality of a zombie apocalypse is that it it would be put down or immediately or the truly terrible part of it would be over in months. So you must suspend your disbelief for any of the story to work, really. But like I said: patience. Let’s just see what happens for now.

            great point, i guess its just that i know the laws of the zombie apocolypse in this story and something new just drags us further down the rabbit hole. It might please some hardcore fans, but probably make it harder for newbies to catch on and become TWD addicts. Sure you gotta temporarily suspend your disbelief, but kirk-man didnt really make it all that crazy, there are similar things in nature now, like rabies(have you seen a dog with rabies??) The laws of nature just shouldnt change this late in the game. I just cant reconcile the fact that the zombies brain matter is ever deteriorating, with maggots feeding and such, and now they evolve? Dead tissue evolving instead of decomposing? That would take some extreme story telling in order for my brain to digest, compartmentalize, rationalize and accept as fact(temporarily) so i can enjoy my favorite characters….michonne, carl, aaron and jesus

    That baby is adorable . He looks almost just like Glenn! I was so happy to finally see Maggie and the baby. I have to also say that I was actually surprised when Magna didn’t fall for Negan’s bullshit story and free him. I thought that that was for sure where her groups storyline was going. I wonder how Negan is going to escape now since Carl moved to the Hill Top? Maybe an extremely huge hored of zombies attack Alexandria and he somehow escapes while that is happening. Of course Magna and her group could still have something to do with his escape. I can’t wait to see the rest of the survivors and see what they are like after the time skip.

    Interesting. I can pretty much guarantee you that Kirkman is not going to change his zombies, hes already stated that he doesn’t want to explore the zombies any further, they’re just there as a constant threat, but this is a book about the living not a bppl about the dead, which we all know, so I think the talking walkers and whispers were meant to make us think Marco is crazy, but Kirkmans done the crazy thing before… I think were going to see living people dressed up and acting like walkers as a means of camoflauge, that’s why they could talk. This Ken guy has probably been taken by people imitating walkers and I think were going to see Rick over react and scare Magna and Co. Into thinking rick and co. are bad people.
    Disclaimer: I know the camoflauge was done in volume one with rick and Glen in Atlanta but I’m talking about camoflauge from other people, not camoflauge from the walkers. We’ve seen that Rick and Co. don’t hardly even bother killing walkers anymore… What better way to ensure your survival than a group of loving people dressed up like walkers?

          I’m familiar with the Image site. It can be hard to deal with. I was once getting my comics from there because it was the only way to get DRM-free…. which is why I thought you had a preference for DRM-free. DRM stands for Digital Rights Management. If you purchase something that is DRM-free, it means you own it instead of your paying for permission just to read it on someone’s server. For instance, I download my comics & save them to a flash drive. Once I learned Comixology offers DRM-free, I switched back over so I could subscribe.

When it comes to digital content, Im a horder, Ive got several 3 TB externals that are slap full of full seasons of shows and tons of movies. I would never want to rely on someone elses server to watch my shows. It kinda dovetails with my TWD addiction. Im from Pensacola florida, we have giant storms sometimes that knock out the power for weeks (sometimes). So Im big on being self sufficient. Entertainment is a necessity, just after ammo, food, water, generator, and gas.

    So, I guess this means that the dead are evolving enough to learn or remember how to talk and communicate with each other. Which means in time they will become smarter and more deadly then the four communities combined, because they will be able to strategize and plan. I also suppose this means they are driven by a phantom hunger for flesh which means they would never be peaceful with humans.
    Or is this all a trick? Is someone duct taping walkie talkies to zombies, thus making them The Walkie Talkie Walkers? Was someone walking with the herd at the time and they were the ones that were talking?
    Thank you, Robert Kirkman for adding this new twist that will surely mean doom to all the people we love in The Walking Dead if it is true.

    Here’s an interesting theory, though I haven’t thought it that far through yet… What if they’re in some kind of human walker purgatory, not quite one or the other? Still human enough to talk, but infected enough to crave flesh. You know how sometimes you hear about folks being dead, but then coming back to life after their heart stopped and everything? How would that work when someone was bitten? Admittedly, it would be odd if the first two walkers this ever happened to were in the same herd able to talk to each other, but like I said, I didn’t think it through very much. Just an idea. That was a cleverly hidden plot twist how Kirk knew we’d think of the “guts” disguise, but doesn’t really work since it was raining. So WTF? Can’t wait for next issue, and next issue, and next….

    Today, as soon as I got this comic, I just couldn’t wait to read it. I didn’t think that Magna would be very gullible, but still, I had to know what was going to happen with Negan. Knowing this comic, I should have figured out that Magna would just say “Ehh, no…” and walk back upstairs, but it wasn’t any less enjoyable to read. I don’t see what’s wrong with having two apprentices, by the way. I’m sure that metal products are in high demand in the apocalypse. Any way, I like the baby’s name, but the stand out moment was obviously the “whispers.” Obviously, it could have just been a hallucination, but when I looked back at the panel, Ken and Marco both looked up with shocked expressions at the same time, so who knows? Are there shared hallucinations? That would definitely keep the story interesting if the zombies started talking, I suppose… Anyway, with all of this exciting stuff going on, this was definitely my favorite issue in the “A New Beginning” story arc so far. I really can’t wait for 131. The obvious thing to do is to read the entire series over again this month, and then finish Season 2 of the video game.

But omg, best issue yet! The dead…. talking?! this is huge! it could change everything!
    However, maybe Marco & Ken where just hearing things. Or maybe there WAS someone out there. But how could it be possible for dead creatures to develop the ability to speak? I guess we’ll find out.

      Really creepy…I like it. They’d be so zombie-like that the walkers probably wouldn’t notice them and I’m sure they wouldn’t have very good hygiene so the walkers wouldn’t sniff them out either. The show had that creepy woman that Rick met who acted pretty strange and looked much like a walker herself….the ferals would be like that times 10!

      Yeah, but they probably don’t come across people as often anymore, and while zombies seem to be able to go on forever without feeding, a man’s gotta eat! So if they do travel with a herd and find people food, how do they fight off a bunch of walkers and eat without giving themselves away?

    I’m hoping that Marco is just having a fevered dream. Zombies talking kinda makes them, well, not zombies. I was really glad that Maggie chose to name the baby after her father, and poor Carl has some competition. I’m also glad that they didn’t have Negan freed in the issue, but I’m still waiting for a situation to rise with Magna’s group.

Robert Can’t let them actually talk, he said before that that is Georges thing and I agree with him, I don’t like the Zombie who can pump gas… lol and way.

            No one can justify zombie evolution. Its a plot hole that will affect how the 129 previous comics read and it defeats the purpose of killing so many when if they were given the chance to evolve no one would have to die. Kirkman is a good writer but this could be where he jumps the shark.

It has got to be someone walking with the walkers all blended in because talking walkers just won’t work. Walking with walkers sounds like a romantic comedy coming out this fall on AMC. Heck I guess i would watch it. Then right after that would be the walker whisperer.

    Definitely I’m gonna say that it is either bullshit that they are talking and he is crazy, or someone is in the process of turning because I believe they purposefully made it rain so we couldn’t just go “zombie guts”. With either situation I don’t know where to go with the information because either they go after ken/marco (I get them mixed up) who is left behind and either
    A) They find ken/marco or
    B) Find somebody half turned and have to deal with a conscious thinking zombie.

    or they just dismiss it as crazy talk
    I just hope we don’t get another fakeout with Negan and Magna.

    The best thing in the last issues is by far the father and son relationship among Rick and Carl. It really make us think about “real life drama”. The Walking Dead shows that even in the horror of war (of zombie apocalypse) our nature don’t change that much.

    How about the whistleblowers zombies? It’s possible have people undercover among zombies? Anyway, I bet there’s no great shift in the “nature of walkers” as seen until now.

    Not for nothing, but concerning the talking zombies. At the SDCC 2014 TWD Comic panel; Kirkman mentions that he will be revealing some big details of the mythology of the series and the zombies; he said that there will be a lot of “strangeness” in arcs to come. He gave us a little tidbit concerning the strangeness–“There appears to be a wounded zombie found by the gang, which is strange because they don’t usually respond to pain…..and that’s where I’ll leave that.”

    Food for though; but my money is on the fact that the dead are finally changing. For better or worse, I can’t be sure. But it will definitely shake things up.

        Me personally, I’m on board with zombie evolution. But not this fast, I mean, these guys are having coherent conversations, and tracking living humans, and searching in an organized manner. That’s too much after five years, if they’re capable of that, they should be using weapons and building shelters as well.

        If you take what we learned in #130; and couple it with that tidbit from the SDCC panel, as well as the #134 cover and tagline; which definitely appears to be the zombie who feels pain, that Kirkman mentioned in the panel. As it appears Jesus was slaying zombies, when he slashed one and it screamed a blood curdling scream, and fell to it’s knees, clutching it’s wounded shoulder and screaming in agony. Hence Jesus’s look of utter shock and disbelief.

        But, I don’t think they’re zombie at all; but this type of feral-zombie-pretender that has been addressed in several other works of zombie fiction. These deranged folks, who’s pysche and every other part of their being was crushed by the events of the outbreak. They lost it, completely slipped their tether, and for one traumatic reason or another, they think “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” is there best bet, and choose to live amongst the dead. The completely assimilate, and regress to a primal, feral state of existence. They even eventually go so far as feeding on human flesh, as that is their only means of sustenance when living as part of a herd. Anything else would cause alarm amongst the actual dead. The ones from World War Z, and other books,(they had a specific name for them, but I can’t remember)would even attack the living just like the actual zombie would. They were so far gone when people found them and tried to rehabilitate them, that they didn’t even remember how to speak. One thing that held true about these people, across all the different novels, was that they were damn creepy. And people struggled to understand their choice, as do I. It was a really cool aspect of the apocalypse, as well all know, a ZA would definitely create some strange circumstances, and completely new things. It was one of those unnerving, skin-crawling abominations manifested by the plague. Also, it’s really not that far fetched at all. I could definitely see Kirkman taking this route; I had hoped we would eventually see some feral children or something; but this is even better if it’s true.

          I was going to mention the World War Z psychotic break human-zombies too but couldn’t remember what they were called. That occurred to me as a possibility too. I honestly didn’t know that was zombie-lore because my thought was Kirkman wouldn’t do that if it’s been done. But if it’s part of legend he could. I’m still not sold on evolving zombies so I’m more likely to go with the psychotic break zombie-humans.

    Now were getting to the good stuff! I knew it! I called it back when we got the tag line for this issue. I knew those dead-alive f*cks were going to evolve eventually. It was bound to happen, as long as they stayed “alive”, and kept the numbers in their favor, it was only a matter of time until they began to adapt and regain some cognitive abilities. It was kind of inevitable.(There’s actually this really good series of zombie books by Joe McKinney; where the zombies adapt over time, like the course of a decade or more. There are stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3 zombies, each having more cognitive abilities and capabilities than the next. They can hunt in packs, use decoys, set traps, things like that; albeit rudimentary it makes them exponentially more dangerous. Eventually a stage 4 zombie evolves, and can speak, and even remember his life before becoming infected. The stage 4 also had a sort of mind control over lower stage zombies, making them minions at his disposal. I think it would be cool if they did something along these lines, but different).

    Moving on–I also called it on Magna! LOL I’m glad I was right; and I’m proud of her. I had a feeling it was going to go this way; that they were using this encounter with Negan as a plot device to build trust in Magna. Needless to say, it worked. Now more than ever I agree with the sentiment of Magna being a female Rick. She’s definitely leader material, and now we know she’s got a god head on her shoulder and a good eye for a liar and criminal, and a good nose for bullsh*t. She won’t be manipulated, which is good. Now, I also think Magna will begin to loosen up and trust Rick more, after seeing he’s not some evil tyrant. I think the fact Negan tried to describe him as such with actually cause Magna to think the opposite now; because she knows a lying maniac would try to paint Rick as the opposite of what he truly is. I can’t wait to see how she and her crew begin to fit into the ig picture. I think Kelly could possibly join the ranks of our more badass zombie fighters(eg. Michonne, Jesus, Abe, etc.). Above all, I’m so glad we didn’t have to suffer through some “Negan Rises Again” jailbreak subplot. It would have been tired and redundant.

    It’s funny how quickly Negan dropped his victim act. That along with the “You guys are new right?” line, causes me wonder how many other new comers he’s tried this little dog-and-pony show on? I’m sure many.

    Also, I’m still loving the father-son-dynamic between Rick and Carl. You can tell their bond is strong, unbreakable. Carl apparently has overcome his angst and resentment toward his father, you can tell he understands and respects him now; and there’s nothing Rick could do now to make Carl feel differently. Rick also seem to be overcoming his overprotective behavior toward Carl, as well as his fear of losing him, and he seems to have finally gained a more genuine confidence in his sons abilities and capabilities as a man on his own. I think he finally understands that Carl can hold his own, that he’s not just a man, but a good one. I just wish someone would give the kid a damn melee weapon. It’s time he starts getting up close and personal with the undead. Another thing; what the hell is wrong with Earl Sutton? That broke my heart, and not to mention Carl’s. I don’t care if he was sick of waiting for Carl to ask his father, or if he didn’t think Rick would allow it; either way, when Carl finally showed up for the apprenticeship, Earl Sutton should have dropped Rolland, or whoever else may have been working there like a bad freaking habit. This is the son of Rick Grimes, if he wants to apprentice as a blacksmith, then Sutton should go out of his way to make that happen. Carl seemed pretty upset, and he was going straight for his father. I’d like to think he’ll have Rick go give Sutton a talking to, but Carl will probably just brood, and tell his father he changed his mind and wants to go home immediately. Either way, Earl Sutton, you’re a prick.

    I’m really digging Rick’s celebrity status. He’s literally been raised to the status of legend amongst men. The man, the myth, the legend, every woman wants him, every man wants to be him, every little boy idolizes him. All thanks to Maggie and her “I believe in Rick Grimes”; that was too funny. Rick hazing her for that. That shows that he’s modest and humble, which is good. I wouldn’t have liked a Rick like the one in issue #75 when he was on a power trip and Michonne had to cut him down to size. Something else a though was pretty cool, albeit a minor detail, but Rick actually gave us a reason for his new style. While most of us assumed is was a “getting old” kind of thing, or maybe he was trying to emulate Douglas, or attempting to adopt a more coiffed and “professional” appearance for his new role as apocalyptic politician, it was none of the above. In fact, Rick states that he shaved his head, and grew his beard to try and get some peace. Peace from the growing fame, and celebrity status he had obtained. People swarm him like Justin Beiber at a girl scout convention; even people who had never met him before recognized him by his long blonde hair and burly thick beard. So a change of appearance bought him some temporary anonymity; but it didn’t last long.

    I’m very curious what’s going on with Gregory. When Rick asks Maggie-“How’s Gregory doing these days, anyway?” and she responds-“He’s still the worst”; it makes me wonder what he’s been up to. After his fall, and Maggie’s rise, and then the end of the war, and Rick’s victory, you would think Gregory would have fallen so far that he wouldn’t be in any position to cause anyone any grief. In my opinion, he’s a traitor, a collaborator, he aided and abetted Negan during the war, and should be sharing a cell with the maniac for his war crimes. But, I still wonder what he’s become now. The way Maggie disdainfully refers to him, makes me think he’s become a town drunk of sorts; or some similar sort of harlot, or vagabond, a beggar.

    Something else worth mentioning, was that moment, when Rick admitted how terrified he was of Carl leaving ASZ. In that single panel, that expression on Ricks face, it was very nostalgic for me for some reason. It really took me back to the prison arc, and the times after the prison fell. That look of terror on his face, there was just something about it, Rick hasn’t appeared that shocked or worried in a very long time.

    Apparently the brother Carson chose to not stay together as one happy nerd family at the Hilltop. I have a hard time believing that Carson willingly chose to go back to that hell that was the Sanctuary, even if Negan was dethroned. So it makes me wonder if he was strong armed, I have a feeling Dwight may not be a much better leader of the Saviors than Negan was. Not to mention, a lot of those guys were just flat out mean and unsavory; the repeat offender, career criminal types. Beyond help.

    And last but certainly not least; we had a pleasant and early surprise this month! We thought we weren’t meeting Maggie’s baby until October; but there he was, fast asleep in this issue! And I absolutely love that he is name Hershel! That’s awesome! Also, I have to commend Charlie Adlard for how he drew Hershel, he looks amazingly like both his parents, but like his own individual person at the same time, the resemblance is uncanny. Great work! Can’t wait to watch his story unfold over a long period of time. That little boy is the future of the series, between him and Carl, can’t wait to see how it all turns out down the line. Something that sort of disappointed me was that we only got a mention of Sophia. I wish we could have seen her, but from the way Maggie spoke of her, it seems like she hasn’t gotten much better when it comes to the crazy denial, and helplessness, and all those emotional issues. She’s damaged goods I guess.

    So, all that being said; next month “A Journey Begins”. Can’t wait to see what that means. Also, I’m guessing that talking herd of evolved walkers is heading straight for the Hilltop. That has me extremely worried, because judging by just how thoroughly bugged out Marco was(eye’s bulging out of his head, and clamping the pillow around his head like he could still hear them), I feel like these walkers have more cognitive abilities than just speech alone. They may be organized, and capable of staging a rudimentary strategic attack. Either way; it’s going to get interesting! I’m so glad they decided to go this route; if done right it will be very cool and interesting. Like they said in the Hacks, “Now we’re getting to the good stuff!”

    Carl needs a new hobby. He’s pissing off the community with crappy animal carvings.
    Negan… gotta love him for trying. And you all thought Magna was bad and about to open Pandora’s box. I’m telling you. She’s good. And they’re going to need her in the battle against the talking-dead.

    I don’t see why survivors hiding in a zombie horde would risk whispering and betraying their disguise. Perhaps they’ve found a cure and they are recovering zombies?

    Finally got my issue today! Freaking phenomenal. Loved seeing baby Hershel. Loved seeing Maggie. Loved seeing Magna call bullshit on Negan. Now to those whispering walkers. Any chance some scientist genius has hooked them up on one a them translator collars like the one they put on the dog, Dug, in the movie Up!? Probably not. Please reply with your best walker collar translation anyway.

    Here’s my 2 cents. Kirkman isn’t going to have talking walkers. It’s another faction of survivors who use the “Guts” disguise to blend into the herds for safety. We’ve seen this used before in the comics and the tv show.

        It is if the survivors wear the walkers’ skin. Of if they’ve used the method so much that the stink is always on them. Kirkman is using the rain to throw us off.

    I bet there are humans in the herd that Ken and Marco encountered and that they are scoping out the communities in hopes of taking over / destroying them because they are part of a much larger community or even a government operation. I personally believe the whole apocalypse is a scheme set by extra terrestrials in hopes of skimming out the toughest people on the planet in hopes of joining an intergalactic army… but thats just me! 😛

    As unbelievably cool as talking zombies are, another still very much cool possibility is that there were an unknown amount of people( at least two from the conversation) who might have been caught off guard by a herd and had nowhere to run, thus giving them no choice but to cover themselves in zombie guts and to join the herd undetected.

    Reply
  97. Hallvar Jonny says:
    11 years ago

    I think that the walkers that Marco thought were speaking, may be regular people covered in blood and guts from the walkers or maybe even dressed in dirty clothes and made to really look like walkers. They were probably trying to blend in with a herd or something

    After discussing this with Co workers we have came up with a logical conclusion. Not people hiding in the crowd been done. Not using walkers with no arms or jaws been done before. What if he is a MEDIUM but never knew it until now for whatever reason. So he is the only one who hears what he calls whispers.

      So what do you think about their choice for the issue winner? Intentionally misleading us to question our theories that it is probably not actually talking walkers? Or giving us a “hint” that Carrie may be on to something?

        I think the “Oh my Grimes” won ’em over, lol! Seriously, I think Carrie summed up what we were all thinking. One thing, tho….she’s not the only one that’s mentioned the broken English, so I do have to say that this form of communication doesn’t necessarily mean it came from walkers. We slaughter the English language, especially down here in the South. I ask people all the time, “I’m fine….how you?” Also, a person who’s whispering for their safety will have a tendency to cut it short.

    Ok,my .002 on #130! I tend to get long-winded so tl;dr if you must!

    Just gonna follow the issue..
    The first panel made me laugh; damn, I just love Negan XD Unfortunately
    his dramatic personality really works against him here. He was way
    over the top. ‘Even the sound of his name…it’s…TERRIFYING!’ LOL
    C’mon Negs…
    He did pull off the scared faces quite good though.
    Magna reacted pretty much how I thought she would. I thought it’d be along
    the lines of ‘nice try, buddy’ or she’d simply laugh and leave (she
    seems too serious to laugh). Who knows what the two guys think
    though…? Negan’s dumbfounded expression when she disses his
    Emmy-award winning acting cracked me up all over again. And then they
    just leave! XD
    I think Negan’s words of being ‘mighty lonely’ are the absolute truth,
    and another reason why I think Rick keeping him alive is worse
    punishment than death. Negan is a very extroverted guy, he likes
    attention and even in his spare time he seemed to spend it with the
    wives and it couldn’t ALL have been sexy-time (Dwight said he ‘never
    slept alone’ for instance) And Carl is gone too… Poor lonely
    Negs… 🙁 (And if you examine his cell, he doesn’t appear to even have books, pencil and paper or anything at all to pass the time.)
    As for Magna’s claim of ‘knowing when someone is lying’… ehh. Why
    didn’t she believe Rick then? I am curious to know when and where she
    witnessed horrific torture or whether she was tortured herself…
    I was a little sad there wasn’t more to the Negan conversation. I do think Magna should’ve at least asked what he was in prison for, after all she would ‘know’ if he was lying about it, right? I’d be curious as to what could get someone locked up forever, especially in a world where killing is almost a fact of life.

    Ok…the talkie walkies! Heh. I’m not sure what to think. I really don’t think
    the Walkers are talking. I’m leaning more towards the ‘people
    camouflaged as Walkers’ idea. The speech was kind of ‘dumb’ sounding,
    but it could be just people using as few words as possible or Marco
    not hearing correctly. As to whether Ken heard it too…I’m not
    sure… he looked scared…but there was a shit-ton of Walkers above
    them too XD

    Someone mentioned feral people acting like Walkers and I really like that
    idea. I would be cool with something like that. I was also
    thinking…couldn’t there be some people out there who are immune to
    the Walker fever?? As long as they didn’t get devoured, they could
    travel amongst Walkers without worrying about the occasional bite. OR
    even… what if there is something the Walkers SMELL in living
    humans… like..they SMELL the virus and they’re attracted to it?
    (There are dogs being trained to smell cancer in humans!) And what if the
    immune people don’t smell to Walkers, and as long as they are quiet
    enough they can hang around Walkers all day if they wanted? Or
    Walkers aren’t even interested in them at all even with noise? Hmm…

    Did Carl really not wash his hands? The mystery will never be solved…
    I wonder if Carl could wear a glass eye. Then again, those things are
    creepy.

    Does the Hilltop have a gate or is it just open like that? Yikes. They
    still got their spear-men, I see.
    Rick’s celebrity treatment was funny, but it seems kind of crazy that it’s
    still going on after 2+ years XD I guess people like their
    celebrities, even in the post-apocalyptic world. I do hope this means
    Rick goes back to his sexy long-hair and stubble again. PLEASE? 😛

    I wanna see Gregory…hahaha. But he should be in Alexandria on
    Negan-shit-bucket duty! LOL

    BABY HERSHEL AWWWWWW! Little Hershey kiss! 😀 <– Wow, that was unforgivably corny.

    Carl's boar kind of looked like a hippo?
    Carl was pretty upset about there being an apprentice already; but I don't
    see why Earl can't have two. Also, did Earl even know Carl wanted to
    be his apprentice, or was this something Carl (or Earl) mentioned in
    passing? When Earl asked 'how long are you here for?' he obviously
    didn't think Carl would be staying. Maybe Carl just assumed he could
    get the gig because he and Earl got along well and Earl helped him
    with his carving.
    Also, some people have been saying Carl is going to kill the Rolland kid?
    Wha…? Maybe if he's following his buddy Negan's advice…XD ('why not just kill
    him and take the fuck over?' :P)

    Nice to see the title finally connecting with the issue. Oh, and the Hilltop doctor is still around! Yay. Doctors seem to die left and right in TWD! 😛
    As always, looking forward to the next.

    ‘Nother post because this rant is a little off-topic. But it WAS inspired by
    Letter Hacks! There was a letter that mentioned Dwight and Sherry,
    and whether or not they’re back together. I’m curious to know too.
    And it also mentioned Negan’s other wives; ‘they turned their backs
    on their husbands and children’. Now this is something that kind of
    peeves me because it seems everyone assumes this…

    Why does everyone think ALL of Negan’s wives had significant others?? We
    know for a fact that Sherry and Amber did, but we know absolutely
    nothing of the other three (or more), not even their names. It’s like
    some dumb S.A.T analogy; ‘All wives are women; therefore all women
    are wives’. Answer: FALSE. XD

    I personally can see many of them being single. They want protection
    from the other Saviors, or the easy life, or maybe they’re attracted
    to men of power and influence (as Negan is in his twisted little
    world) or they were simply scared/bullied into it. I could see a
    woman like Comic-Carol jumping at the chance to be a wife…she was
    desperate to belong, to feel protected and a sense of love even if it
    meant giving herself sexually to others (ie: Tyreese, Lori, Rick,
    Billy…)

    Minor rant done! I would LOVE to know more on the whole wives thing,
    really. The whole Savior community actually really intrigues me but
    we didn’t see much into it unfortunately.

    I think he was delirious and hearing things. I really hope he was. If we get a Big Daddy scenario going on with talking zombies that can coordinate and show intelligence. you can tell Kirkman I’m done with his book. For real, Land of the Dead was shit. I don’t see how talking zombies can be “cool” as a number of comments have said. That is not cool! It is bad and if it continues we’ll soon have zombies using M16’s, melee weapons, petrol to burn structures and vehicles.
