The Walking Dead Issue #182 Cover Reveal and 15th Anniversary Cover

This week, Skybound and Image Comics released two covers of the long running series The Walking Dead. Here is the cover for issue #182 which will be released in August.

It looks like Pamela from The Commonwealth has made her way to The Sanctuary to talk with the current Saviors leader John to most likely form a partnership. Or, John could be telling her about Rick’s ways before they showed up. New World Order begun in January and although the arc ends in June, we will still see more of Pamela and The Commonwealth. Next month, The Commonwealth will be in Alexandria for the first time.

The second cover reveal is celebrating the 15th anniversary of the comic series.

On this cover, it is an updated look of the very first cover but this time, it showcases other comic series that Robert Kirkman has worked on over the years and there are also zombies inside the comic book store. Over the years, Tony Moore has remade the cover of the first issue starting with the retailer variant of issue 75 (which i am happy to own), the 10th anniversary edition back in 2013, and the issue 150 variant two years ago which you can compare in the images below.

The 15th anniversary edition will be released on October 13th.

Wizard World Philadelphia 2018 Panel and Cosplay Notes and Photos

Wizard World took place last weekend at the Pennsylvania Convention Center and there was a large amount of attendees either buying the rare comic, cosplaying, playing video game tournaments and much more. There were many actors and comic writers and creators over there as well as fans got the opportunity to meet them. We were able to attend the show to cover it over the weekend and it was very fun from what we saw. Wizard World always delivers every year in Pennsylvania and they will be back there in 2019.

We attended a few panels to hear the actors answer questions from the fans. Sebastian Stan was the first one we attended as he talked about The Avengers Infinity War and his future projects in the works. He even accepted an award from one of the fans there which got the crowd giving him an applause. At the end of the panel, he did a photo with the entire crowd (I was lucky to be in the photo)

The next panel we attended was of Ray Fisher and Ezra Miller from Justice League as they both talked about their roles of the movie along with having a dance off with one of the fans.

The final panel we attended was called The Voices of Overwatch and four of the voice actors from that game (one of them also did voice work in Final Fantasy XV) were there live to talk about how it all started and spoke in their character voices for most of the panel. It was very fun to see.

And Finally, i have taken many photos of cosplayers around the building and these were the best i have seen over there last weekend.
