So ends the Whisperer War...or not
November 19, 2020
This is a review of the entire series.
Rick Grimes is a strong-willed deputy who missed the end of the world because he was in a coma for a month after getting shot in the line of duty. Shaken, starving and confused, Rick escapes the horror of the abandoned hospital only to be met with something far more terrible. Not only has the world ended, but the dead have learned to walk and to kill without mercy. After learning that his wife and son have fled to Atlanta from a single survivor and his son, Rick goes on a journey to reunite with his family and search for more survivors.
Rick quickly has to come to terms with the fact that the world has ended and only a select few survived. The dead have risen from their graves and they prey on the living. In a world where every minute feels like hours, where there's no such thing as law and order, where finding a small meal is a tremendous task, the walking dead are quite possibly the least threatening thing for the survivors to have on their breaking minds. Humanity is pushed to the brink of destruction, forcing them to embrace their cruel and primal nature in order to survive. Sometimes you have to be more concerned about who you let into your community so they don't kill you in your sleep and steal everything you once cared about. Rick has no choice but to abandon the ways of law and order that he's upheld as an officer for so long in order to protect the few loved ones he has left. He has to become a monster to protect his crew or risk being devoured by those who became more monstrous than him and even the walking dead.
Despite zombies running the world and having the series named after them, what really sets this series apart from the average zombie apocalypse tale is the focus on realism and the daily struggles, flaws and depth of the characters. There's plenty of badass zombie killing action, but the action often takes a back seat to give the characters plenty of times to share their extremely tragic yet endearing stories, grow through mutual suffering and learn to adapt to a world that has left them to die. Even after the world has ended, many people still can't see eye to eye. They turn on each other and kill each other when they should come together. Others form alliances in spite of their differences and try to rebuild over the corpse of everything that was lost. The daily human drama and conflict is more intense than any monster apocalypse could hope to be.
We watch Rick struggle to balance his old moral code with the many necessary evils he has to commit in order to survive and make the world a better place for the ones he holds close. We watch people like Glen, Dale and Maggie attempt to find love in spite of having every reason to be filled with fear, hate and self-loathing. Characters like Michonne have to learn how to forgive themselves and convince themselves they deserve to be loved despite all the blood on their hands. We watch the weak like Carl and Andrea become strong and sometimes the strong become evil like The Governor. Even monsters like the wicked yet oddly lovable Negan are given the chance to find new ways of redeeming themselves by struggling alongside the other survivors that have all been changed by the horrors of the fallen world.
The pacing is extremely slow and I can understand why that may be a turnoff for a lot of people, but I eventually learned to enjoy watching the characters grow, overcome their trauma, find meaning in life and learn to love again. The characters are forced to do many terrible things to survive and it haunts them every waking moment. The ways they overcome these regrets is very realistic, human and hopeful. The slow pacing really gives the feeling that we're living beside these people. The way every tiny detail of their lives and who they are is explored makes them feel very real and believable.
When I first started reading the series, I wasn't expecting it to have such an uplifting ending. It seemed so bleak and nihilistic for a long time and things would go horribly wrong even when they seemed to be going so well, but the finale channels all the pain, suffering and betrayal of the previous volumes and tops it off with a very touching and inspiring finish. This was never a story about hopelessness. It's about learning to appreciate the little things, learning to forgive yourself and learning to move on even when it's hard. When everything seems lost there's always more to be found, even when we believe otherwise because we convince ourselves that we don't deserve to be happy ever again. Instead of dwelling on what was lost, strive to try and make things better than they were before.
I've never been a huge fan of zombie apocalypse stories, but The Walking Dead had enough heart and strong social commentary to make me stick by the characters until the end and I enjoyed every moment of their long trial.

I found some of the dialogue to be a little corny at one point and it had every right to be; it made sense in the current situation of the Whisperer War ending and everyone celebrating the "win".
And then the true ending was anything BUT corny! That beautifully horrific two page spread and the upcoming cover of #163 has me extremely worried for the fate of Alexandria.
4 1/2 stars!

Whoa!! What an interesting end to a very entertaining story arc. That swarm at the end is probably the biggest swarm I've seen in the comics. It's going to be EPIC!!

Okay so I have been waiting to see than giant herd again!
If you haven't read the Negan stand alone book Here's Negan! You need to. He has a hard sad back story and I am so glad I read it.

Sherry and the Sanctuary honestly don't seem interested in helping anyone anymore. Instead of standing with the other communities against a common enemy, they're simply waiting for Rick's people and the Whisperers to weaken each other before making their own move. It's a dangerous strategy, but at the same time it also feels incredibly shortsighted. If Sherry truly believes Rick will defeat the Whisperers, then planning to attack him afterward is almost laughable because defeating an enemy as terrifying as the Whisperers would only make Rick's people more experienced and determined. Still, with everyone exhausted, wounded, and emotionally drained, I can't completely dismiss the possibility that the Sanctuary could become another problem once this war is over. It feels like every time one threat begins to fade, another one quietly starts growing in the background.
The issue opens on a surprisingly quiet and emotional note. Negan has taken the time to dig a grave for Lucille, the baseball bat that had become both his greatest weapon and the symbol of one of the darkest periods in the survivors' history. Standing over the grave, he apologizes for never burying her sooner, admitting that he will always miss her. In a strangely humorous yet heartfelt confession, he even apologizes for naming a baseball bat after his late wife. It is one of the rare moments where Negan drops nearly all of his bravado and simply grieves. Dwight interrupts the moment, calling for Negan to hurry because the group is leaving. Negan quietly promises that he'll catch up, giving Lucille one final goodbye before walking away.
Elsewhere, William leads several soldiers from the Kingdom toward the Hilltop after receiving news of the attack. Upon arriving, they are met with a devastating sight. The once thriving Hilltop has been reduced to a smoldering ruin, forcing its survivors to establish a temporary camp near a bridge. Dante welcomes William's group while Maggie thanks them for coming despite arriving too late. William apologizes for not making it in time, but Maggie wisely reminds him that the Kingdom could have just as easily been the target instead. Rather than dwelling on what cannot be changed, she decides the survivors will relocate to Alexandria for safety and eventually rebuild the Hilltop when the war is finally over.
Nearby, Carl notices Lydia sitting by herself, visibly overwhelmed with guilt. She confesses that she cannot stop thinking about everything she did while living with the Whisperers. She believes Carl would hate her if he truly knew every terrible thing she had been forced to do. Carl, however, responds with remarkable compassion. He reminds her that everyone in their world has committed terrible acts just to survive. None of them have clean hands anymore, and judging someone solely by their past ignores who they are trying to become now. His words comfort Lydia, and the two embrace, marking another important step in Lydia's acceptance into the community.
Deep within the woods, Beta is still badly injured from his battle with Negan. Several Whisperers encourage him to rest and recover, but Beta refuses to show even the slightest weakness. Determined to finish what Alpha started, he forces himself to continue moving despite his condition. His relentless determination reveals just how consumed he has become by revenge.
Back in Alexandria, Rick and Andrea continue discussing possible defensive strategies should either the Whisperers or the Saviors arrive unexpectedly. Andrea jokes about Rick acting like an old man now that he's confined behind Alexandria's walls. Rick admits that remaining behind the walls makes him feel soft, disconnected from the battles his people are fighting. Andrea reassures him that leadership is every bit as important as fighting on the front lines, though Rick clearly struggles with that reality.
Their conversation is interrupted when Eugene finally arrives after riding through the night carrying an enormous shipment of freshly manufactured ammunition. Completely exhausted, Eugene practically collapses after reaching Alexandria. Rick thanks him sincerely, but Eugene insists that making bullets is the only contribution he can offer while everyone else risks their lives. Rick quickly reminds him that without those bullets, many of the soldiers would not survive the battles ahead, proving that Eugene's contribution is every bit as valuable as fighting.
Before they have much time to celebrate, a single gunshot echoes through Alexandria, immediately drawing Rick and the others outside.
To everyone's surprise, the militia has finally returned home. Dwight leads the battered survivors back through Alexandria's gates after successfully defeating the Whisperers during the battle in the woods. Families reunite, relief spreads throughout the community, and for one brief moment it genuinely feels like the nightmare may finally be over. Even Negan quietly watches everyone reunite from a distance without interrupting the emotional scene.
Rick quickly begins questioning Dwight about everything that happened. Dwight explains how they managed to split the Whisperers apart, use disguises, and ultimately survive overwhelming odds. However, Rick becomes increasingly uneasy as the conversation continues. When Dwight insists they won the battle, Rick refuses to accept that conclusion. He reminds everyone that he personally witnessed thousands upon thousands of walkers before the fighting began. Even if the Whisperers suffered heavy losses, the enormous herd itself still exists somewhere. Rick immediately realizes the battle isn't truly over and insists they need to return before it's too late.
Unfortunately, Rick's fears are completely justified.
In the final pages, the story shifts back to Beta. Though badly wounded, he calmly watches as an unimaginably massive herd of walkers marches toward Alexandria. With his role now complete, Beta orders the remaining Whisperers to step away and allow the dead to continue their march on their own. In his mind, the war has already been decided. The Whisperers no longer need to fight because the dead will finish the job for them. The issue closes on the horrifying image of an endless sea of walkers moving toward Alexandria, leaving readers with one of the most intimidating cliffhangers in the series.
I really appreciated William's response after learning what happened to the Hilltop. Even though he arrived too late to stop the attack, he never hesitated to gather his soldiers and offer assistance. That kind of leadership deserves recognition because it shows he genuinely cares about the alliance instead of only protecting his own community. His apology to Maggie felt sincere, and Maggie's response showed tremendous maturity. There was no point blaming anyone because the Whisperers could have attacked any settlement at any time.
Carl and Lydia's conversation was another standout moment. Lydia has been carrying an incredible amount of guilt ever since leaving the Whisperers, and this chapter finally lets her confront those feelings. She has lived almost her entire life believing Alpha's philosophy was normal, only to realize how much suffering it caused once she experienced genuine kindness. Carl doesn't excuse what happened, but he also refuses to define Lydia by her past. Instead, he reminds her that everyone in this world has blood on their hands in one way or another. Survival has forced all of them into impossible situations, and what matters now is the choices they continue making. Their relationship has grown into one built on trust, understanding, and forgiveness rather than blind affection, and I honestly enjoyed seeing that development.
Beta continues to be one of the most terrifying villains in the series. Even after suffering severe injuries, he refuses to show weakness because he understands that the Whisperers' entire society revolves around strength. The moment a leader appears vulnerable, they risk losing everything. Watching him stubbornly push forward despite barely being able to stand demonstrates just how fanatically devoted he is to Alpha's ideology. Unlike Alpha, whose leadership was rooted in manipulation and philosophy, Beta feels driven almost entirely by grief, loyalty, and vengeance, making him even more unpredictable.
Seeing Dwight finally return to Alexandria should have been a triumphant moment. Everyone believed the worst was finally behind them, and after everything they endured, they deserved at least a brief moment of relief. But Rick's reaction reminded me why he remains such an effective leader. While everyone else celebrated surviving the battle, Rick immediately focused on what was missing. He understood that defeating a few Whisperers didn't erase the thousands of walkers that were still wandering somewhere. His refusal to celebrate too early shows how experience has shaped him. He has learned that complacency is often more dangerous than the enemy itself.
The ending completely erased any sense of victory. Beta never intended to win through a conventional battle. Instead, he simply used the militia to buy enough time for the greatest weapon the Whisperers possess: the herd itself. Watching that endless mass of walkers marching toward Alexandria genuinely gave me chills. After everything the survivors have already endured, they're now about to face an enemy unlike anything they've encountered before. The Hilltop has already fallen, the Sanctuary is quietly plotting in the background, Gabriel is gone, countless people have been wounded or killed, and now Alexandria is about to become the next battlefield. Just when everyone thought they had finally won, the story reminds us that the real nightmare has only just begun.

Negan is fucking crazy. I mean, I get that he named the bat after his dead wife, but that in itself is really damn creepy. I mean, he named a bat that he used to kill people with, after his wife. Damn psycho.
Aww, Dwight. I wish you were a man of your word and you'd have left that asshole behind. He deserves to be left tied to a tree and left there as a snack for passing zombies, just saying. Still bitter that he killed Glenn.
As for William, I still can't remember which community he runs. I want to say that he runs the Kingdom, but I just don't remember. As for him and that other guy getting to Hilltop, you're too late. It's completely fried.
I liked the conversation between Maggie and William. I'm hoping that they'll become friends and she'll help him to be less of an asshole. Glad that she's planning on taking the Hilltop residents to Alexandria, and then planning to start over and rebuild.
The conversation between Carl and Lydia actually didn't make me want to puke, so, thumbs up for that. And I like what Carl said to her, how, yes, they had to do bad things to get to where they now are. But they don't forget the bad things they did, but they also don't let it turn them into bad people.
Ugh, Beta. Can't somebody please kill this guy already? He's such an asshole. Not that I'd trust any of the Whisperers, but he's like.. just really damn psychotic, almost as bad as Alpha was, and that's definitely saying something.
I like Andrea's teasing of Rick. We need more lighthearted scenes like that in the comic. I'm glad that they were talking about signals and what each one means. So that when and if there's some kind of problem, Rick and the others will know what Andrea's trying to tell them.
Eugene had me worried there for a moment. Glad that he's going to be okay, and was just tired. Also, I'm glad that he made it to Alexandria without passing out or getting attacked by Whisperers or walkers.
Well, I'm glad that Dwight and the others are back, but I don't really think that they got all of the Whisperers. I think there's still a shit ton more of them waiting, and once Beta is better, they're going to attack and cause a lot of chaos.
And.. I was right. I just got to the end of the book and Beta pretty much said that they had steered a herd at Rick and the others and now all they have to do is wait and let the walkers take them out. That's not good.

This was dubbed 'The end of the whisperer war' story arc, however it didn't really feel like an ending. The writing wasn't bad but the plot was lacking, it felt like the characters were just commenting on the events of the last comic for most of this one and then the end of this was just the set up for the next arc. This wasn't bad, just a bit unsatisfying considering how good the previous parts of this arc have been, although #163 looks like it will be awesome!

I'm finally getting back into this series. With the hindsight of Here's Negan, I find that Negan's words about Lucille make perfect sense. And though the war looks to be over, there is actually much more to face.

The war is over? I think not!

A little underwhelmed by the end of the Whisperers War. I will say the zombie mega herd looked awesome.

We get some insight on Negan's obsession with his bat Lucille. Also, massive cliffhanger. The next issue will be very bad for Rick and Alexandria.

Hmm the arc may have finished but the war is far from over just the freaking three whisperers left and they unleashed the sea of walkers on Alexandria. It's no wonder The Walking Dead is a legendary series, it truly deserves all the praise it can get. I love The Walking Dead and it's style. It's wonderful and I love the journey taken with Rick and the group as they roam the wasteland in search of life and stability.
I have always loved comics, and I hope that I will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics or Diamond Comics or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I Love comics to bit, may comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

I was a little surprised because usually these kinds of arcs end in some (or several) horrible deaths, but it looks like the next couple issues are going to be the ones where they cull the herd, so to speak. I still read it as soon as I get in the car after getting my weekly comics! And it's the only series I read right away!

War
I wonder when this war will end. Will Rick and the crew ever finish fighting off the living and the dead? I'm ready for another villain !

Not a clean ending... if one could call it that. A good set-up for what's to come... definitely expecting a major character death.

While this issue doesn’t add the impact many fans were looking for to redeem the ‘Whisperer War’ saga it sets up ‘Conquered’ lead to an epic arc.

The four stars are mostly just for that first page. But really, guys? The war isn't over obviously but please...let's drag it out even more.
