What do you guys think?! Predictions?
#147 = MAJOR Cover Bluffer!!
You need to get you 1 of these this lucille necklace is friggin awesome
Plan on it… if Skybound ever drops them in the shop! Waiting….
Beautiful, love the barb wire details!
Are you referring to the lack of Rick and Michonne? If so, I have a feeling that they both went back to their respective communities to start leading people.
Looks like a peaceful stroll… after what just happened & in stark contrast to #145 & #146. Makes me think there’s been some super swift justice dealt & the Survivors think everything’s OK… but I’m sure there’s some Whisperers somewhere that’s trying to hold onto their way of life, maybe watching & waiting & prepping a new leader.
Well, they don’t seem too peaceful. Carl and Lydia have their hands on their weapons, and they seem pretty cautious.
They can never fully let their guard down, especially out in the open. But they look a lot more at peace than where I imagine they would be, given what we just read.
They don’t seem pecEful. They look ready. I think they’re waiting for something
This issue, the gang goes out for a walk.
Lydia teaches Carl how to tan hides.
Kinda wonder why Carl dresses like Abe these days minus the Abe-tache.
can you imagine if Carl grew the big Abe porno stache? 😛
AWESOME. He lost and eye, just like Abe, too. Just, y’know, Carl got hit with a bullet and Abe was hit with a bolt.
I don’t remember Lydia handling a gun before. Have they taught her to shoot? o_O
First thing I noticed…. and notice that they trust her enough to giver her one…. So I guess its safe to assume, as I thought, she is no spy.
I’ve been a loooong time lurker here and finally decided to post. Don’t mean to tell a life story but I first read the Walking Dead at the local library here back in 2005 only until they got to the Prison, then last year FINALLY read through it all and have been keeping up since. My fav comic and series ever, and I read quite a few growing up. I love the show too, but the comic has a certain dark tone and grittiness to it that I really love. I also loved the Telltale Walking Dead games.
Anyway, you can see smoke in the background rising out of Alexandria which I assume is done for….they said in Issue 144’s letter hacks that an entire Compendium’s worth of heavy shit is coming in the upcoming Blood for Blood issue. I have a bad feeling stuff goes to COMPLETE shit. I’m worried that Rick isn’t with Andrea, Carl, and Lydia. They’ve hinted in the letter hacks in issues that boats are going to come into play, and what’s up with Magna’s group playing a ‘huge’ role they’re supposed to?
(p.s. how do I set an avatar for my account as a picture? Like how the Cat guy Bastet and Carl guy Neutral-Grey have pics next to their posts; p.s.s. I really enjoy their comments and other long time posters here I’m forgetting names for :P)
“Cat guy Bastet”
.

Wow. Well, welcome! I’m sure you figured your way to add a pic now and let’s hit this ride into the herd!
Hey! Cool to be recognized!
I’m gonna assume you figured your question out though since you have the skull avatar.
Thank god that Lydia does not die next issue! She is really growing on me, and I would hate for her role to be cut short. She is innocent, and it sucks that she was born with such a screwed up mother, in such a screwed up situation. Hopefully no one in Rick’s group tries to kill her, simply for being related to the murderer. Now the question is, who does Michonne kill next issue? (Probably some random whisperers)
I don’t think Carl’s gonna leave Lydia’s side anytime soon. Lydia is in the safest place possible.
Predictions
145
Michonne goes back for revenge and kills a bunch of the Whisperers. Possibly gets captured. Possibly gets away.
Rick, & Dante go back to Alexandria to tell Maggie, and Paul Monroe and try to figure out what to do. They tell Andrea to stay with Carl & Lydia and watch for Michonne to get back. Rick doesn’t want Lydia coming back to Alexandria right away and Carl won’t leave her.
146
Rick gets back and tells Maggie about all the people that are dead. He tells her that they can’t do anything about it. The Whisperers have too many people & too many walkers on their side. Maggie punches him along him a coward and telling him that they all need to fight back. More stuff happens at the fair. People are still looking. For those who were just killed.
147
We see that Andrea, Carl, and Lydia out there waiting for Michonne to return.
Everyone at the fair who is looking for someone is freaking out asking where they are, no one in Alexandria knows that they’re all dead other than Rick, Maggie, Paul Monroe, & Dante. They all question Rick and Maggie asking where they are. Rick and Maggie try to figure out a way to tell them and everyone else too.
Andrea, Carl, and Lydia watch the border waiting for Michonne. The second to last page shows a bunch of whisperer a watching them, because they are “out in the open”.
Then cut to another area, we see some whisperer a talking amongst walkers.
The last page is a full page spread of the giant herd of walkers outside the area they were in when alpha showed them to Rick. Seemingly going somewhere…
I’m interested in the contradictions, the internal conflict, implied in Alpha’s actions. She clearly feels for her daughter Lydia, and the fact that Lydia doesn’t “fit” as a whisperer (ie, doesn’t like being raped). But not to the extent that she does something about it before Carl & Rick force her hand. What is it that ties her to The Whisperers? We know zip about them, as far as I remember we only know two of them by name, and one of those just got adopted by asz! They are still a massive unknown, it’s a bit like suddenly discovering there’s a whole other country, with a population, customs, laws – just down the road.
Oh, and “Cat Guy Bastet” – that’s a good name, has to stick.
Kinda sounds like a superhero.
That cat looks scar enough to *be* one.
This cat has major issues. Ever seen a cat give a human “the eye scan” (look you up & down from head to toe) & then walk off like she has better things to do than to fool up with an idiotic human? I love her to death but I think she only loves me because of the food.
Oh shit somebody knocked the fence post down that must be how the walker army gets past the border
Are the covers out for 145 & 146?
Well…. Yeah. They wouldn’t release the cover of issue #147 without the others. The posts are probably further back.
