Announcement 2: Issue 187 offers a massive storyline

The Whisperers plotline is completed and the introduction of a massive community has readers interested, but there isn’t a ton of conflict going on in the Image Comics and Skybound version of the zombie apocalypse.

However, that friendly and calm period is bound to change and it sounds as though conflict will be coming to the pages of the comics sooner than fans might have expected.

Here is a Tweet shared by Skybound revealing the announcement of the upcoming major storyline…and one that could be on a MASSIVE scale:

Not only will issue 187 of the popular comic book series be the first installment released in 2019, but it will also mark what should be the first major conflict, possibly between The Commonwealth and Alexandria.

There’s also a great chance that this could be an internal conflict between two parts of the same community, but no matter what, this means there is a great hint about something big coming on the horizon.
