The Whisperer War is rolling full steam ahead to its finish line in issue #161. Part 5 of the 6-issue arc is set for release next week and we now have our first look at a page from the book.

The Walking Dead artist Charlie Adlard released a preview of issue #161 on Twitter on Friday afternoon. In it, Maggie and others are slaying Whisperers left and right, though their efforts may not be enough as they appear to be surrounded. After all, the gunfire is only going to draw an even larger crowd.

The page previewed here is only three quarters of what will be published. For the Whisperer War, Adlard and series writer Robert Kirkman have shifted gears to 16-panel grids to fit more story on each patch. These grids only account for 12 of those 16.

The issue descriptions for the upcoming books have tease dark times ahead for the folks of Alexandria and the Hilltop. Issue #163 is titled "Conquered," with a decription which reads, "In the aftermath of the Whisperer War: ALL IS LOST."
