    Finally Maggie! And little Glenn! The other two covers look pretty cool.

    Personally, I hope they name the baby daryl. That would be the trolliest troll move ever. Kirkman could be like, "there. I put daryl in the comics. Happy?"

    Yep, that would be the trolliest RK's move ever. Cool idea, though.

    We finally get to see the baby! I was curious if his age could nail down the timeskip.
    I don't know if I should trust the taglines lol. Is that Ken and Marco on 133? Looks like the chaos hits starting then.

    Definitely Ken and Marco on #133; and the tagline "Impending Doom" doesn't leave much to the imagination. Although; have you noticed that with the exception of "#127: A New Beginning"; the taglines have had nothing to do with the issues. Strange.(E.g. After all this time, she should be more prepared(#128) and Even now, they find new ways to dispose of the dead(#129))

    Anyway; glad to finally see Baby Greene(since Glenn has no last name in the comic). They've been teasing him/her on the cover of the October issue, but didn't think we'd see it so soon. Also, I'm excited it's a two issue month. October will be epic, with season 5, these two issues, and the release of the next novel "Descent".

    Concerning the time skip; I believe the baby will reveal all. We already know that two years was incorrect, and we know it can't possibly be less then that. So judging by Carl's appearance, and now the baby; I'm going to say about 3 years, maybe 3 and some change.


    Edit--Actually; I don't think that's Ken and Marco on #133; could be a search party that let out to look for them and instead found the herd they riled. Also, wanted to point out that monstrous water tower behind Maggie at the Hilltop; as well as give praise to Adlard for his amazing ability to represent both Maggie's and Glenn's defining features in their child's appearance. It really does look like their kid, wow!

    #133's cover looks very badass.

    The baby looks around 2 and half or 3 years old to me.

    Any guesses on Glenn Jr's name?

    No clue, not really even sure of it's gender at this point. Has Glenn's head, Maggie's big beautiful eyes, and a hybrid of both their hair. If it's a boy I bet she names him Hershel or Billy(most likely Billy) if girl, Lacey, Patricia, Lori, Alice, many possibilities.

    The All Out War Collection looks awesome! I've always wanted to read the whole arc, completely self-contained. I actually did a few times before the arc ended, attempting to go back to #115 and read up to whatever the current issue was at the time. But this will be so much better, especially in Charlie's beautiful pencils; there's something about them, always has been, a softness and realness, that can sometimes be much better than the inked pages.

    The horses threw me off it being Ken and Marco. They lost theirs. I know it doesn't matter for covers but still.

    3 years is my guess. The baby can't be much older than 3 so taking into account the rest of her pregnancy I don't think it could be much more than 3.5 years, probably a bit less.

    Yes, why haven't the taglines represented the content these past two issues? I can understand the images being thematic, or misleading so that they aren't spoilery. But when the taglines were introduced, I was expecting them to be accurate, if perhaps vague. I guess I'm a bit persnickety about such things. ;)

    But having said that, I like the juxtaposition of "Happiness" and "Impending Doom" in the same month.

    Well they kind of do.

    128 easily could have meant being prepared for society which she wasn't. Similar to Too Far Gone.

    129 could mean the patrol system. That was new.

    Hmmm...yes, maybe the taglines are so cryptic that we'll have to read through the entire arc to be able to look back and see how they relate.

    They are rarely obvious just like covers. Look at your avatar. What part of 128 did they get that from? lol

    What did I miss, how do we know that 2 years in incorrect?

    And I agree, I don't think that is Ken and Marco.

    Ken and Marco have lost their horses, so it's unlikely that it's them unless the cover is just for effect.

    The baby's name will be Daryl if it's a boy. Beth if it's a girl.
