The Walking Dead – Whispers Into Screams | Comics

The new era of peace that Rick and his fellow survivors established in a post-"All Out War" period is now threatened with a new type of enemy.

Previously, a survivor named Magna and her group has been rescued from a massive horde by Paul Monroe and brought to Alexandria Safe-Zone. After their initial interview session with Rick Grimes, they decided to stay but her friends remain skeptical that the town is surely hiding something and sneaked into the basement to find an imprisoned Negan.

Though he claimed to have been tortured and wanted their help to get out of his cell, Magna brushes off his claims immediately saying he is lying and then they leave. The group then confronts Andrea about the events before their arrival and she fills them in on her relationship and stand with the community until All Out War era.

Carl has moved to Hilltop to become a blacksmith under the tutelage of Earl Sutton and despite being unwilling at first, Rick eventually agrees to his wishes. There, he reunites with Sophia and was slowly trying to settle down away from home until they got in trouble with two boys. Carl has almost beaten them to death for attacking his friend viciously.

Earlier, Ken and Marco went to an uncharted territory way past Hilltop Colony chasing a pack of wild horses but they faced a horde and were forced to flee. The latter made it back to Hilltop but Maggie Greene is skeptical about his story of whispering Walkers. Nevertheless, she sends a small search party of Dante and two other men to go find Ken.

As they arrive near a countryside barn, a herd arrives out of nowhere and they fight back. When only few of them remained, one of them attacked with a knife, which scared Doug and two of them died except Dante. He discovered his slain victim is a human female under Walker skin and another disguised survivor holding a shotgun to his head.

Jesus goes to investigate a patrolman gone missing and a herd of whispering Walkers quietly followed his group. When they are about to go back, the living zombies ambushed on them that led to the death of all but Darius and Paul. Jesus managed to kill all of the Whisperers before taking one of them prisoner and his wounded friend back at Hilltop.

Jesus starts interrogating the Whisperer who is a 16-year-old girl named Lydia and learns more about her group who wear skins to roam among the Walkers. Though Sophia is treated, Maggie had to lock Carl up due to the serious outrage from fellow citizens. These two talk to each other about what is going on from their cells and slowly bond.

The bullies' parents furiously argue over the fact that their kids almost died yet Carl is running around free. Gregory suggests that they kill Maggie Greene and has him reinstated as their leader once again but no one really wants to follow this extreme idea.

The father of one of the bullies later approaches him about his plan but he wants Carl dead as well. When things get really heated up in the infirmary between the angry parents and Maggie, Gregory steps in to offer peace but tries to intoxicate her with a drink later in his trailer. Only for the timely intervention of Jesus, she was saved.

A small group of Whisperers showed up at Hilltop to get back one of their own in exchange for Ken and Dante and their leader introduces herself as Alpha. Although Carl is totally against the idea of giving Lydia back to her people for their savage way of life, Maggie deems it would not be a wise idea to get in conflict with these people.

The Walking Dead – Whispers Into Screams

The post-apocalyptic journey of The Walking Dead monthly ongoing series from Image Comics picks a new pace from the previous storyline "A New Beginning" and now heading towards another major arc with "Whispers Into Screams" by writer/creator Robert Kirkman (Image United, Invincible) and artist Charlie Adlard (Judge Dredd, The X-Files).

The story starts building a major challenge for Rick and his allied communities to live up to following their hard earned victory against the Saviors and their lunatic leader Negan. However, these are a new breed of enemies that literally run along with the undead march and have a philosophy towards life that is devoid of any emotion or attachment.

Death Comes Whispering

Similar event of introducing these new enemies from the story is also adapted into the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead TV series Season 9, except for a change of character cast and a major shocking consequence for one of the good guys.

Although there hasn't been any major tension building up throughout the entirety of the book except for a few casualties, the upcoming "Life And Death" promises some groundwork for the gathering storm headed towards the survivor communities. Rick Grimes with his fellow group members will rise up to fight their biggest battle against Whisperers.

The Walking Dead – A New Beginning | Comics

War is over and away from The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes now lives a peaceful life among in Alexandria with friends.

A survivor named Magna and her group watches a few Walkers from over a trailer hitched to horses as they were going through the woods. She tells everyone to lie down when it emerged to be a larger horde and when one of them nervously suggests that they should get out of here on the horses, she points out that they will never made it out.

Some of the zombies get to a horse and the rest started to push the trailer over to drop everyone on the ground. Magna tells everyone to draw their weapon and make a hole among the crowd. She almost got bit in the arm when one of the roamers caught her but saved at the nick of time by the arrival of Paul Monroe AKA Jesus and his cavalry.

He instructs her team to cut the horses loose and get to the tree line nearby while they distract the horde. Magna and her group follow the instruction but one of them was not too fortunate to survive the mob. Eugene Porter, Heath and Rosita Espinosa join Paul in driving the massive herd away to further east by working collectively.

Eugene points out that the herd has moved direction approximately 10 miles away from The Kingdom. Though the trouble is averted, some of them are not happy about losing one of them but invited to Alexandria Safe-Zone, the group came along.

In Alexandria, war has ended long ago and Rick Grimes lives a peaceful life as a family man with Andrea and his son Carl Grimes. He wears a prosthetic hand, grew a beard and has to walk with a cane these days. The community is rebuilt and has changed a lot too. They have new people living within those walls, got new crops, farms and houses as well.

Jesus brought in the survivors to Rick and they decide to stay after a brief introduction. He then heads to the munitions factory and asks Eugene not to go on herd duty anymore. Carl says that he wants to be a blacksmith and work with Earl Sutton of Hilltop Colony. Even though he does not want his boy to leave this place, he eventually agrees to consider it.

That night, Carl goes to the basement to talk to someone about class and after hour activities involving a girl he liked. The person in shadows offer him his perspective and when the boy was about to leave, asks if Carl still wants to kill him. He states his intentions are positive and that figure is revealed to be former leader of the Saviors, Negan.

The next day, Andrea is interviewing Magna and her friends on how they survived so long and how many were they. Later at their own place, she and her group talks among themselves about whether or not to trust Rick and his people because what they have here seems too good to be true and she thinks that Alexandria is hiding something.

Ken and Marco of the Hilltop Colony see a pack of horses on uncharted territory and even though the latter urges to go back, the former insists to bring them to Hilltop. A few zombies arriving out of nowhere caused him to fall from his horse and stuck underneath it. Marco carries Ken onto his horse after seeing a few more approaching.

They go a long way on horseback but then Ken falls off the horse and as his friend came to help, the horse ran off. These two then continue on foot and more Walkers begin to close in. Refusing to leave Ken back, Marco drags him to a nearby ditch and watches the horde leave. To their surprise, the duo hears the roamers whispering among them.

The Walking Dead – All Out War | Comics

Ever since Glenn died at the hands of Negan, Rick Grimes has been eagerly waiting to teach him a lesson. Last time, when Negan and his Saviors came to Alexandria Safe-Zone for supplies, things got a bit out of hand as Rick and his crew unsuccessfully tried to get the drop on Negan. He in turn, lines them up for execution but is forced to retreat for the timely intervention of Jesus, Ezekiel and Shiva.

The Walking Dead – All Out War | Comics

It is pretty evident that The Saviors will go to war against Alexandria and so, Rick and his allies prepares themselves for the oncoming conflict. However, Rick feels a bit of concerned as he has never done something this big and the last encounter with Saviors almost got Andrea killed. Along with The Kingdom and Hilltop forces at his side, Rick leads the crowd towards The Sanctuary.

Rick approaches Negan for a truce, which he declined and revealed Gregory's allegiance with him. But that brings no significant change to the scene and the war between the two parties broke in. The heavy firing draws attention of walkers nearby and they all started to form a herd and heads towards The Sanctuary. Rick was about to ram the fences of Negan's stronghold but Holly ditches him and took one for the team.

Sanctuary gets overrunned, Negan gets furious, Holly is captured, Ezekiel loses Shiva and both sides took heavy causalities. After dealing with the undead horde of his compound, Negan heads to Alexandria Safe-Zone for payback resulting major damage. Both of Rick and Negan's side came up with a new and improved plan to triumph over the enemy.
