This article is about the former Whisperer. You may be looking for his Road to Survival counterpart. For other pages with the same name, see: Joshua

My parents and I have been on the road by ourselves for the past two years. Before we got here, we were so desperate, we were going to live with people who wore skin as masks. If we don't talk about sad memories, what else is there to talk about?
―Josh to Sophia.[src]

Joshua, also known as Josh, is a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. He is a former member of the Whisperers with his father Mike and his mother. They were very recent recruits and were about to be killed by other Whisperers for failing to adopt their lifestyle, but were saved by Paul Monroe and Aaron. He is currently a resident of the Hilltop Colony.

Overview[]

Joshua is a polite and respectful teenager. He is extremely traumatized, as his family has been surviving on the road for years. After joining the Whisperers, Joshua refuses to adopt their lifestyle. After joining the Hilltop Colony, Joshua is quick to make friends with Carl and Sophia.

Pre-Apocalypse[]

Location Unknown[]

Nothing is known about Joshua's life prior to or as the outbreak began.

Post-Apocalypse[]

Joshua and his family spent two years on the road before coming across the Whisperers.

Lines We Cross[]

Joshua is first seen at the diminished camp of the few remaining Whisperers following the fallout of the Whisperer war. He is seen unsuccessfully trying to adopt the ways of the Whisperers and wear the human flesh mask. During the conversation they refer to each other by their names and Joshua and his mother take off their "masks". This causes the other Whisperers to go and attempt to kill them while Mike begs for some time to adapt. Right before getting attacked by one of the Whisperers, the trio is saved by Paul Monroe and Aaron.

Aaron tells the group about the network of communities they have established, which prompts Joshua to eagerly ask if they make people wear human skin and get rid of their names.

The Rotten Core[]

Carl introduces himself to Joshua and shows him around Hilltop. Later during lunch, Joshua introduces himself to Sophia and tells her about how he is new to Hilltop, and asks if he can sit with her. She begrudgingly agrees.

Rest In Peace[]

Joshua and Sophia go out on a date. Sophia tells Joshua about her past and how Maggie isn't her biological mother, and that she doesn't actually remember much of her biological mother, besides sad memories. She then apologizes for bringing up sad memories, but he lets her know that it's okay, because there isn't much else to talk about. He then talks about how his family was alone on the road, and how they almost wore walker skin to survive. Sophia smiled at him, and tells him that it's true that the sad memories are the only thing to talk about, she then asks what "fucked up" things happened in his past, and they keep on with their date.

Joshua is not seen or mentioned in the 25 year time-skip, leaving his fate unknown.
