AMC's Comic-Con Lineup: THE WALKING DEAD, PREACHER, NOS4A2, and More
Dude, AMC has released their San Diego Comic-Con lineup, and it’s freaking exciting! Not only do we have panels for all our favorite AMC shows, but Deadline also reports a “new and improved DeadQuarters fan zone, a Walker Horde photo opp, gaming demo previews, and a canned-food drive for Feeding San Diego.” The following description of the events details the crazy fun that will be jam-packed into the weekend by the cable giant:
Beyond the convention’s panel programming, AMC will host DeadQuarters (at 4th Avenue and L Street) the “official fan zone” of The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead. This year’s edition ” will feature a curated walk through of settings (including “Winter Escape” from the Season 9 finale of The Walking Dead) as well as an elaborate treehouse and plane crash site inspired by Season 5 of Fear the Walking Dead. Video game demos and previews will also be on site. DeadQuarters will be open to the public July 18-20, 11:00am-6:30pm and for July 21 from 11:00am-4:00pm.
AMC also invites fans to dress as zombies for an official Walker Horde moment at Petco Park on July 20 (doors open at 9am). Attendees will help recreate a walker scene for a photo that will be part of an official marketing campaign for the 10th season of The Walking Dead.
