Walking Dead #153 2016 Robert Kirkman Script. Charlie Adlard Cover. First appearance of Paul. Paula rushes to the gate where Siddiq and Annie are on patrol. They both ask her what she is doing at the gate, however she avoids the question, and tells them to wait for Rick to arrive. As they attempt to further question her, Rick and Michonne walk up to the gate and come to the conclusion that Negan most likely escaped with Maggie's group headed to the Hilltop.
