The Walking Dead News

Those who are attending the San Diego Comic-Con this week have the opportunity to get their photo taken as one of Michonne's zombie pets in a display set up to promote The Walking Dead Season 3. We have some photos of the display and information on how attendees who dress up as zombies can receive a limited edition Michonne collectible.

Robert Kirkman partnered with Hyundai to celebrate the release of The Walking Dead #100 with a custom zombie survival machine that will be on display at the San Diego Comic-Con all week. Here are some photos from the event, along with information on how you can win a car featuring artwork from The Walking Dead #100:

After all the hype surrounding the big milestone, The Walking Dead #100 is now available. Who's left standing after the events that were set up in issue #99? Does this top what Robert Kirkman did with The Governor's storyline? You'll have to read it and find out for yourself to find out, as we're keeping things spoiler free for now. For those that missed our earlier coverage, we have a look at the variant cover art, including some that you can only get at the San Diego Comic-Con.

If you're not heading to the San Diego Comic-Con this week and still want to take part in The Walking Dead #100 celebration, there will be a number of midnight release parties taking place tonight at various comic book shops across North America. Skybound has posted an updated list of participating locations and we have it for you to check out.

Similar to the photo opportunity with Merle at SDCC last year, you'll have an opportunity to take a photo with Michonne and her zombie pets on the show floor this week. Those who dress up as a zombie can stop by The Walking Dead booth at any time to receive an exclusive Michonne trading card. We also have a photo from Skybound that shows Danai Gurira facing off against the Michonne action figure.

Last week, Activision revealed that Terminal Reality is developing a video game based on The Walking Dead TV series. Unlike Telltale's adventure-style game, the new game is a first person shooter, where you will take on the role of Daryl Dixon before the events of the TV series. Activision has now officially announced the game and released the box art for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 versions:

Although it shouldn't come as much of a surprise given the sales numbers for the first episode of The Walking Dead video game, Telltale Games confirmed future development and a boxed copy of the first five episodes:

If you weren't able to catch last night's special episode of Talking Dead, you missed out on the first footage Michonne in action from The Walking Dead Season 3. Don't worry, though, because we have it for you to watch, along with some choice quotes from the show.

For those of you who have been following cast stops, Jeffrey DeMunn (Dale) started booking convention appearances recently and we've included them in the list.

Greg Nictotero gives a zombie studio tour in the latest behind-the-scenes video release from AMC. While we get a look at some of the fan favorite hero walkers from Season 2, Greg Nicotero also shows off a number of walkers that will be seen in The Walking Dead Season 3.

Today kicks off The Walking Dead Season 3 Preview Weekend, a two-day event that includes all of Season 1 and 2, along with new footage from Season 3 on Sunday night. For those that have missed out the entire series or part of Season 2, this is a good way to catch up.

For those that have already watched both seasons, each episode will include an introduction from the Atlanta set where The Walking Dead Season 3 is filming. You can also look forward to a special new episode of Talking Dead and the TV premiere of the black & white pilot episode.

We gave you the first look at The Walking Dead Season 3 promotional artwork last night. However, that same art is being used as the official banner for The Walking Dead at SDCC and we have it for you to check out, along with updated official photos of the group fighting off zombies outside of the prison.

Activision has just announced that they are developing a video game based on The Walking Dead TV series. Unlike the current game from Telltale that is more of an adventure-style game, Terminal Reality (Def Jam Rapstar, Ghostbusters: The Video Game) is developing this new game as a first person shooter that stars Daryl and Merle Dixon.
