‘The Walking Dead’ Spoilers: A New Villain Arises in Season 7, More Danger Coming In Fall 2016!

AMC has posted an image on Instagram that reveals Rick and his group of survivors could be facing much more than just Negan this season.  The Walking Dead (TWD) fans, who have read the comics, will know the group from the books, but it appears that they will be arriving on scene a lot sooner than people thought.

TWD image that was posted was a head on the top of a spike, a sure sign of the group called The Whisperers.  The Whisperers are a group, led by Alpha.  They disguise themselves as ‘walkers’ by wearing the skin of a walker.  They live with the walkers, and have the philosophy that the living shouldn’t be killing the walking dead.

If The Walking Dead is going to follow the comic books, Alpha will be the villain who is notorious for putting heads on spikes and displaying them, including Rosita and Ezekiel’s heads.  Ezekiel and his community, named The Kingdom, will be appearing soon in Season 7; and from the previews and comics, it looks like they also are in danger, thanks to the arrival of the Whisperers.

Speculation is running wild over the post and image, but fans of the comics insist that The Whisperers do not arrive until much later.  TWD creator, Robert Kirkman had made it well known that he intends to bring the show away from the comics’ ending, and end with his own material.  If you read deeply into this, it could mean that there will be surprises in timing, and possibly characters.
