Cover analysis: The Walking Dead comic book issue 173 ‘Final Fight’
By Adam Carlson
The cover of The Walking Dead comic book issue 173 should have a lot of fans worried about the situation in Alexandria while others are away.
While November is still quite a ways off, The Walking Dead has revealed some information about the comic book release for that month. And according to the look of the cover, a major character appears to be in a lot of danger.
The group is dealing with a lot right now. They lost a couple of major characters during the war against The Whisperers and are still reeling and rebuilding from that confrontation. Plus, some members of the group left to meet with a new group from near Ohio.
But that doesn’t mean things are safe for the time being. In fact, the cover revealed on the official website of The Walking Dead should have some fans very worried about one character in particular when November rolls around.
Fans aren’t used to seeing Jesus this way. The strong-willed and well-skilled fighter stands up to nearly any opposition, and he also has a new reason to fight now that he has once again found love.

And the bigger question is who this individual is that is confronting Jesus. Fans may think it is “Frowny Mctwoknives” as Negan likes to call him, but if it is Jesus running into Beta on the road, it won’t be a good thing at all for the survivors.
