The artwork for the cover of issue 168 of The Walking Dead comic book series shows a character in a position of power that probably shouldn’t be.

Issue 168 of The Walking Dead comics will be released in June of 2017, but that doesn’t mean that it is too soon to try to figure out any information about what the installment of the series will hold for readers.

Titled “The Road’s End”, the story will likely involve fallout from The Saviors attack on Alexandria as well as the potential loss of Andrea. With those two storylines being major events in the comics, they should carry over into issue 168.

Another great way to gather information is to look at the cover of each individual issue. Here is the official cover for issue 168 as shared by TheWalkingDead.com:

It has been a while since anyone was in a kneeling position before Negan. In fact, it almost seems out of place at this point to see happening. But it appears as though The Saviors may have found a new leader now that Sherry is no longer alive.

The transition of the people from The Sanctuary following Negan after being led by Sherry should be interesting. Fans have been treated to a different side of Negan since he was locked up and then dealt with The Whisperers, so this should be a fun situation to keep an eye on.
