WARNING: The following article contains spoilers from The Walking Dead comics and potential spoilers from the TV series.
Fans have been promised that when the show returns later this year there will be "all-out war" between Negan (played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Rick (Andrew Lincoln).
Now, the graphic novels have hinted that there will be three major deaths when the Alexandrians go into battle with the Saviors.
In issue 118, a trio of characters find themselves amongst the casualties during an ambush near a Savior outpost.

The Walking Dead: Shiva is killed off in the comics as she defends Ezekiel
Both Eric Raleigh (Jordan Woods-Robinson) and Richard (Kari Makinen) are shot by Saviors while Shiva the tiger sacrifices herself to rescue King Ezekiel (Khary Payton).
It's worth noting that Richard has already been killed off by Morgan (Lennie James) in season seven but it's likely a replacement for his death will be found.
The loss of Shiva would be devastating for Ezekiel after she has been by his side for the majority of time following the outbreak.
And finally, if Eric were to be killed, his death would certainly have an effect on Aaron (Ross Marquand) and his decisions to assist Rick in the future.
The Walking Dead: Corey Hawkins is rumoured to be returning as Heath
The Walking Dead: Heath was last seen when he went scavenging with Tara
It comes after it was reported that Corey Hawkins could return to The Walking Dead as Heath, who was last seen scavenging with Tara Chambler (Alanna Masterson) in season six.
The pair were split up when attacked by walkers but it was heavily implied that he survived when their RV was driven away.
Will he comeback to help Rick fight against Negan?
The Walking Dead is set to return later this year.
