The Walking Dead: 10 Outrageous Comic Moments That Won't Be Used

5. The Whisperers

The Whisperers are a relatively new group in the comics, a band of survivors who wear the skin of the walkers in order to blend in and live amongst them, killing the living rather than the undead.

One of them is captured by Paul Monroe and taken in for questioning, and it’s there that Carl Grimes develops feelings for her and, when she returns to her people, he follows her and is eventually found by the Whisperers and taken back to their camp.

The idea of a group walking around in the skin of the walkers is certainly an intriguing one, in a rather gross way, and it’d be an interesting development for Carl in particular. If it were to happen it wouldn’t be for a while yet though, and it is one of the stories that may not transfer as well to the screen.
