Ten things to look for in the second half of The Walking Dead season 9
By Adam Carlson
2. Who are these new villains?
For comic readers, it is time to get very excited because one of the biggest comic storylines ever has finally been brought to the small screen and will truly change the direction and feel of the show forever.
On the other hand, those who aren’t comic readers are getting their first exposure to The Whisperers. The teases of the talking in the herd led to the big reveal of a new group of villains when it seemed like a walker ducked the attack of Jesus and counterattacked with a fatal blow.
The concept of human beings wearing the skin of the undead in order to move among them is a terrifying one. With so many walkers in the world and the fact that any of them could be a member of The Whisperers, the survivors will need to be on high alert at all times.
Explaining what this new threat is and seeing how dangerous and terrifying they can really be will be fun to watch going forward, but knowing the damage they could do is even scarier.
