Consider this your warning: if you’ve just eaten or have a weak stomach, you may want to stop here. That warning is especially important for male readers.

Shiva Makes Lunch Out of a Certain Part of a Male Zombie

Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard, Stefano Gaudiano, and Dave McCaig’sThe Walking Dead Deluxe#117 (2025) has officially hit comic book shelves.

This companion comic is best described as a parody of the main storyline, spotlighting the aftermath of the Battle of Sanctuary. In the original, Ezekiel must survive on his own, but this parody version centerson Shiva the tiger. Here,she transforms into an animal-esque alien who eats zombies. One page in particular stands out, likely featuring the most NSFW scene inThe Walking Deadto date.

Screen Rant could only publish a censored version of the scene, and for good reason. Behind the censor bar, Shiva is shown with a mouthful of zombie remains, including an eyeball, feces-filled intestines, and what forced us to censor the page:a sensitive part of the male anatomy.The image is both shocking and absurd, pushing the boundaries of evenThe Walking Dead’susual gore.

Shiva’s [CENSORED]-Eating Scene Officially Surpasses Negan Killing Glenn

WhileThe Walking Deadis known for its NSFW content and graphic violence,having male genitalia dangling from a tiger’s mouth (or any mouth, for that matter) is a whole new level of gruesomeand R-rated material. This is definitely a moment that will never make its way into live-action in any capacity.

Since this scene never appeared in the original show and is unlikely to be featured in any future spinoffs, it stands in stark contrast to something like Negan’s brutal execution of Glenn, which made its full debut in live-action. With that in mind, it is safe to say thatThe Walking Deadhas a new reigning most NSFW scene, and it’s one that most fans don’t even know about.

The Walking Dead Deluxe #117is available now from Image Comics!
