Good to see Holly isn't dead. Could've fooled me with how long she's been out of the picture for. But anyway, holy shit I can't wait.

[NAGILLUM]

Don't know why Holly of all people would be in the center of the cover, but I like the fact that maybe Kirkman will focus a little more on certain characters.

Looks like Nicholas survives the upcoming 113, you can see him behind Rick.

[Duffy Duck]

He kinda looks like Abe at a quick glance :l

[PorkTornado75]

Holly is super hot on this cover to bad she aint in her undies...........

[bkottond]

For what ever reason, Im not liking this cover... To bad all the variats are being used on issue #115, cause this cover could use one!

Why Holly? Hell I would rather see father Gabriel on a cover, if RK just wants to put under used characters on covers now!

I betchya in the ZA, her undies smell a bit fishy!

[Officer_Friendly]

Hollys got some tig oles

[TheLibrarian]

Looks like abe on the far left, wtf?

[Leela]

That's what I thought at first, but it's Nicholas.

[BeauL83]

I said this before but between holly and negan it looks like rosita but I'm pretty sure it's just a savior.

[FatherGabriel]

if this cover can be trusted than it looks like nicholas survived 114. if someone dies next issue i think it will be heath now. i thought it was going to be nicholas or maybe no one dies but i think someones got to. i think heath would be a waste to kill hes one of the few people in ASZ thats got some development and depth

[gypsyrose]

Agree, I think Nick will live through 114. I'm still thinking Heath and or Rosita Die in 114. Eugene needs to get his head straight, and the only way I see that happening is if Rosita is killed or taken as soft goods.

[FJSP2627]

I really want to know why holy gets so much spotlight on this issue. maybe she goes on a rampage to find dwight and tries to kill him for what he did to abe? Plus how will the hiltop people react to gregory's statement. And how will Ezequiel and his tiger get separated from the group? is he with them or does he have a second interest in this all out war scenario? Looking forward to this......

[mADAM Scorpious]

Way to pre-emptively ruin my bday with a holly cover she needs like 50 more Z kills and none of Rosita's bfs under her belt, before I stop hating her, so she better do something good, GD!

[farswell7]

There best be bloodshed this issue.

[JesusMonroe]

Shouldn't this topic get pinned?

It would be cool if Negan wanted to kill a member of Rick's group to punish him, but since war is raging on, he can't. Gregory then reveals that Maggie is living at Hilltop (which we're assuming is being guarded by Saviors). Negan sends a Savior there to kill Maggie. The Savior demands to know where Maggie is and Brianna lies and says that she's Maggie. The Savior caps Brianna and rides off.

Rick thinks Maggie is dead and Maggie is outraged, so she rallies the people of Hilltop together

I really hope this happens.

Based on the cover for 118 - where Maggie makes a speech to the Hilltop community, I'd say this is a pretty good guess. No doubt there is going to be a power vacuum with the Hilltop Survivors looking for someone else to lead (preferably someone with a spine)... If you think about it - Maggie is probably way more experienced w/ survival, leadership, and cohesion tactics than anyone else at the Hilltop. Most Hilltop residents have had fairly easy existences since being established as members of the Hilltop community. Before the war, the overwhelming majority of residents had jobs that didn't involve fighting or savaging the wastes for supplies. The Hilltop has been the most self sufficient community we've seen. While Rick and Co have struggled for years just to find food/sanctuary/other survivors, the Hilltop has had no problems with that. On the other hand - Rick and Co have seen just about every hardship or catastrophe imaginable, Maggie has witnessed most of the carnage first hand. She has seen stuff that Hilltop community members would not be able to handle. Perhaps her experiences up to this point provide her with the perfect backdrop to excel at politics. I'd really like to see Maggie (or anyone for that matter) usurp Gregory as leader of the Hilltop.

[mADAM Scorpious]

I think maggie will lead an uprising against negans goons at the hilltop, but I don't see negan gunning for maggie just because she's an aszer(its possible that greg went to negan tto stop jesus, and unless negan went to hilltop & saw & remembered maggie, he wouldn't even know she's there), obviously maggie and the hilltoppers will do battle against the saviors but I don't see brianna sacrificing herself for maggie anytime soon, she's got a kid to raise. But it'd be cool if brianna lost her kid due to stray bullets and brianna went nuts and like killed all of the saviors occupying the hilltop.

[jbhutto]

Slimfast Euge deserves a cover.

But yeah. I hope he at least has a few badass moments during AOW.

[WhiteChocolate]

If Eugene doesn't end up betraying the group, I think the Saviors will attack the bullet making outpost and either kill or make him work for them. Either way I don't think Eugene survives the war.
