New Mid-Season 9 Promo For THE WALKING DEAD Teases a Big Comic Book Moment
AMC has released a new mid-season 9 promo spot for The Walking Dead. It offers fans a closer look at the show’s newest villains, The Whisperers. This includes our first look at Alpha’s daughter Lydia and it teases a big moment from the comic book series. I’ll get into that after you watch the trailer.
As you know by now, The Whisperers are actually real living people who are wearing the skin faces of walkers. It’s pretty gross, but people do what they can to survive in this world.
As for the comic book moment, the image above is the same as this panel from the comic book that you can see below. It comes from issue #132, when Dante finds himself in the woods engaged in a fight with, what he thought were, walkers. To his surprise, the character Alpha reveals herself as a human to him, takes aim with shotgun, and says "Don't move."
Of course, the moment in the series could involve another character. Regardless, it’s the big reveal of this character. We’ll see how it plays out when the series returns on Sunday, February 10th!
