Thanks to Dread Central we are all getting an early look at the cover of the first issue of The Walking Dead’s official magazine. From a short story to a slew of interviews it looks like its a good pickup for the must have everything The Walking Dead related fan! I would say the short story is the main selling point if it is by Kirkman (though it doesn’t say if it is on the cover.) The flip side is the press release included that there was an interview with the actor “who played fan-favorite bad boy Shane” and just the fact that they referred to him as ‘bad boy Shane’ makes me want to have nothing to do with this. Whoever wrote that press release should be publicly flogged.
Titan Publishing/Skybound and AMC bring you The Walking Dead, The Official Magazine to answer the burning questions insatiable zombie-loving fans have about the Emmy-winning television show, comics, and graphic novels.
The Walking Dead, The Official Magazine will feature an inside look at the comic and show as only a fully sanctioned quarterly can. No one will get more exclusives than this magazine. Get exclusive access to the most successful television adaptation of a comic ever, including in-depth interviews with Robert Kirkman, Executive Producer/Writer on the show; Glen Mazzara, Showrunner/ Executive Producer/Writer of the series; and David Alpert, Executive Producer of the series. That’s not all; readers will hear from all of the leads on the hit TV show beginning with Andrew Lincoln, who stars as Rick Grimes; Sarah Wayne Callies, who stars as Lori Grimes; and Jon Bernthal, who played fan-favorite bad boy Shane.
To get behind-the-scenes on the set with co-Executive Producer Greg Nicotero and see how he creates the greatest on-screen zombies ever, fans should read The Walking Dead, The Official Magazine. The only way into the closed door writers’ room to learn about the scripting process lies within the magazine’s pages. Fans will also get the opportunity to ask Kirkman what’s coming up in future issues of The Walking Dead, or find out how the series artist Charlie Adlard keeps up with the fast pace of the monthly comic so brilliantly.
Robert Kirkman commented, “This magazine will be your one-stop destination for all the news
pertaining to the comic, TV show, video game, toys, games, and whatever else exists in the ever-expanding Walking Dead universe! If it’s happening, you’ll find out all about it right here!”Nick Landau, Titan Publisher, added: “We’re very excited to be publishing the quarterly The Walking Dead Magazine with Robert Kirkman and Skybound, which will be a once in a lifetime opportunity for fans to get unlimited access to the show and comic.”
The Walking Dead, The Official Magazine Issue #1 will be available on newsstands and in specialty comic book stores in the US on October 23, in the UK on November 8, and Australia and New Zealand on December 18.
