The panel may be over, but more news continues to come out for The Walking Dead during Comic-Con. Fangoria was talking with Frank Darabont and Greg Nicotero and they confirmed that Nicotero will be directing an episode for the second season.
There are no additional details on the episode he'll direct, but for fans of Greg Nicotero attending Comic-Con, remember to check out the life-size zombie bust he designed at the show. It is a VERY limited edition item that is the first in an upcoming line of Nicotero-designed The Walking Dead products.
