The Walking Dead Whisperer War is finally upon us. So what can we expect? Will Negan actually join sides with Rick and the Survivors, will Beta kill as many main characters as he can find, and will Carl ever make it out of the Hilltop?? We can’t divulge any of that, BUT that doesn’t stop anyone from speculating. Below we have compiled the BEST Twitter fan predictions for this new story arc. Make sure to comment below to offer YOUR expectations and who will/won’t make it.
Let’s just get this one out of the way
@TheWalkingDead Woah now. Let's not get carried away with predictions and LOSE OUR HEADS!!
— Brett Young (@WebmastaB) August 2, 2016
Now for the actual predictions:
Maybe it wasn’t Alpha after all…
@TheWalkingDead is it possible that wasn't really Alpha? Maybe she's a twin and they were testing him? Lol
— Dan Anderson (@dba_polarbear25) August 2, 2016
We Actually Like These Ideas
@TheWalkingDead I hope Negan parades Alpha's head on a Spike thru the streets of Alexandria! Doing what Rick & co. didn't do! #TWD #Skybound

@TheWalkingDead The war will start after a really bad "telephone" game msg gets misunderstood. Then everyone will HAVE to whisper. 😉

This fan made a prediction for themselves
@TheWalkingDead I predict that I'm going to pee myself!!

Don’t you dare Newhart us
@TheWalkingDead if negan was dreaming and don't really kilo alpha (??
— Luciano (@LucianoCaffaro) July 28, 2016
Sad, but logical
@TheWalkingDead Someone we care about will die and their will be a shit ton of cussing, 95% coming from Negan.
— Zoup (@ZoupGaming) July 27, 2016
This pretty practical tactic
@TheWalkingDead Rick & his crew dress in zombie skins to infiltrate the Whispers
— Ursh (@urshy74) July 28, 2016
This would be the best possible scenario:
@TheWalkingDead Negan gives Rick Alpha's head as a peace offering. Rick obliges. They take out the whisperers.
— Mary Catherine (@kakabar) August 3, 2016
This fan agrees but doesn’t think it’ll be that easy:
@TheWalkingDead Negan goes back and tries to win Rick over with Alpha's death, Rick resists at first but then Whisperers attack…
— Jen Nissen (@jennay781) August 3, 2016

Also this would be the worst possible scenario
@TheWalkingDead Rick will die. It's a sad prediction but I really think it

These fans just cut to the chase
@TheWalkingDead Violence. So much violence.
— Artimus Naugin (@TheArtimus) July 27, 2016
@TheWalkingDead idk, a lot of blood and death
— luli (@xnactualpsychx) July 29, 2016
@TheWalkingDead I predict lots of death and war and whisperers
— Matthew Snow (@mattysnowy14) July 27, 2016
@TheWalkingDead prediction: people die
— Nicole (@hughmhd) August 2, 2016
Suck it, The Avengers
@TheWalkingDead I'm thinking that Negan and Rick are going to have the most badass team up in comic book history. Oh, and tons of death too.
— Negan (@negan108) July 28, 2016
Herds man, herds
@TheWalkingDead @CharlieAdlard Herd attack. Epic herd attack. I got nothing else but, yeah, herds.
— K.Ruby (@CommaChaser) July 28, 2016
Alexandria’s going to wreak
@TheWalkingDead I think Beta McTwoKnives will kill Negan and Rick will kill Beta and assimilate the rest of the Whisperers into Alexandria
— Chris Tabar (@ctabar1) July 28, 2016
That Negan takeover though
@TheWalkingDead Negan will be the new leader of Alexandria.
— Alfredo Calle (@alfrecalle) August 2, 2016
Never too late for revenge
@TheWalkingDead Sophia or Maggie are gonna get revenge for Glenn
— MeishiMayGaming (@catface345) August 4, 2016
This got specific
@TheWalkingDead Negan survives the conflict, but Rick goes against his word in 162 and kills Negan at the end of the war. #TheWalkingDead
— Alexander Culafi (@culafia) August 3, 2016
And then finally…the most logical option
@TheWalkingDead Alexandria starts a soccer league using alphas head as a ball and then beta proposes a tournament for alphas severed head
— St Justice (@villa___ivan) August 2, 2016
I honestly feel like this war is going to be Kirkman’s way out cutting down the cast. Rick might die during this war. Michonne and/ or Andrea could easily follow. The people I don’t want to die are Aaron, Rick, Jesus, Andrea, Maggie, Sophia, Hershel Jr., Heath, and maybe Dwight. Everyone else is up for grabs. (Side Note: I really wish Maggie would have named the baby after Glenn. I know Hershel is her father, but seriously Comic Hershel was a dick. I would understand if it was TV Hershel. Another Side Note: During this war, Rick better get a new arm. He should have gotten Merle’s arm.)
Comic Hershel a dick? Na. He was a good man… just hardened.
This is hilarious!
Check out this little Whisperer War promotional poster I got my little 12 year old to draw for me!
He’s a big fan of the show and comic.
hmm, for some reason it isn’t showing up, 1sec.
Since he took a picture of it using his webcam, it is flipped.
Sorry bout that.
Oh, and here is one of him with NEGAN, he drew this one as well.
I think it has to end with someone from the Communities taking over the whisperers. At the moment, Rick is just heading into a bludgeoning match where he’s going to get a lot of people killed. But by removing Beta, they can actually lead them in a new direction. Question is: who?
Michonne is a strong possibility. She’s tough enough that they wouldn’t cross her and it would really bring the Kingdom into it more as some people view her as Ezekiel’s heir and others as a heartbreaking traitor who has allied with the enemy. Ultimately though I think she’s too much of a loner to really want it.
Negan is another one especially since it’s his to claim — something that I think will become a factor before the end. But he knows that Rick would never permit him to gain a power base like that and, for now at least, he wants to be on the side of the angels.
Carl is another possibility. He already felt sympathy with them and Lydia knows the people better than anybody. Even if he couldn’t take Beta one on one, he’s a good enough shot that this wouldn’t matter. Carl would be the most vulnerable and would need to surround himself with protectors as Alpha did (Negan?!).
The ominous tone of the last page leads me to believe that the Whisperers & Survivors will come to an agreement & will actually learn to work together & love one another (enter Minnie Riperton’s “Lovin’ You”). Meanwhile, while Dwight is leading Negan to his outpost WITH NEGAN BEHIND HIM, Negan will stab him in the back. Dwight will turn & become one of the most badass of walkers we’ve seen in comic form. Negan claims Lucille & takes off in the woods & we get another time jump so that we don’t see Rick die an old man. Then it’s all about Carl.
Have a dejavu feeling that Jesus may get crucified.
Hey…. I made it in here! Sad, but logical 🙂
I have a feeling The Whisperer War will be like Made to Suffer. Especially by the covers, red is a significant color in the issues to come and the only other story arc with a large amount of red on the issue covers was Made to Suffer.
