The Walking Dead #162

The Whisperer War reaches its brutal conclusion with issue #162, and Charlie Adlard's cover captures the tension perfectly — a fierce, long-haired woman draws a scoped rifle against a blood-red backdrop while a horde of decaying walkers, including one alarmingly clear-eyed figure in the foreground, press in from below. Robert Kirkman's six-part arc promised an all-out confrontation between the survivors and the skin-wearing Whisperers, and this final chapter looks every bit like the reckoning that's been building. It's a striking close to one of The Walking Dead's most unsettling story arcs.
