The Walking Dead #177

A heavily armored figure clad in striking red body armor dominates this cover, wielding a battle axe in one hand while weapons — including a rifle and blade — are strapped across his imposing frame, all set against a ruined, smoky skyline. The bold "New World Order" banner signals that this is the third chapter of a six-part arc, promising the kind of world-building tension that Kirkman and Adlard built their reputation on. If this cover's commanding presence is any indication, The Walking Dead #177 is shaping up to be one of the most visually arresting installments of the run.
