There’s some huge The Walking Dead news coming on the heels of the Image Expo. Robert Kirkman himself, TWD creator and Image Comics partner, laid it all out for guests.
In celebration of the 10th anniversary of The Walking Dead Kirkman announced a special 12-issue story arc “All-Out War”, starting with issue #115. There will also be 10 variant covers to go along with the arc. The part that I am most excited about however is the fact that during this story arc, issues #115-126, the book will ship bi-weekly starting October 9th. That’s right people, twice The Walking Dead very month for 12 issues!
Also to be released that month is The Walking Dead #1 in color for the first time ever. Award-winning colorist extraordinaire Dave Stewart will giving a new vividness to Tony Moore’s art in the classic first issue with art.
Fans of Tyreese will be happy to see the favorite character get his moment in October as well, with the release of The Walking Dead TYREESE SPECIAL, which reprints his first appearance in THE WALKING DEAD #7 and his origin story that originally appeared in THE WALKING DEAD: FREE COMIC BOOK DAY SPECIAL.
Also THE WALKING DEAD readers will be able to choose their side in “All-Out War” with T-shirts that announces their allegiance to Rick Grimes’ “Survivors,” Jesus’s “Hilltop,” Negan’s “Saviors,” or Ezekiel’s “Kingdom” factions.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
