It’s official: The Walking Dead will return for its eighth season on Sunday, October 22nd. AMC revealed this news along with epic key art on the heels of the highly-anticipated Walking Dead San Diego Comic Con panel this Friday:

Here we see Rick and Negan facing off for All Out War, one of the most notorious and bloody storylines from the comics. Behind them are their allies poised for battle, including Eugene who recently defected to The Saviors and Dwight, who recently decided to play both sides. With all the new groups and communities introduced in the past few seasons, this is undoubtedly the most expansive key art yet. Fans of the source material will be quick to point out the similarities to The Walking Dead Issue #120, which also pit the two leaders against each other in an epic cover:

3588692-120

Despite the similarities, this season will still be plenty different from the comics. For example, Carol and Morgan were already dead in the comics at this point and Daryl doesn’t exist; so all of their storylines will be interesting to watch play out in Season 8.


If that somehow wasn’t enough Season 8 for you Entertainment Weekly released a new picture from the season, where Rick appears to be counseling Maggie:

Rick and Maggie are ready for war! Check out this exclusive photo from season 8 of #TheWalkingDead. The leaders of Alexandria and the Hilltop are once again working together to bring Negan down. Showrunner Scott M. Gimple promises that the zombie drama will find itself firmly in the “All Out War” arc from the comic book as we head into season 8.

      Wasn’t all out war when they did two issues a month for most months? Thought they did 12 issues in like eight months.

    I definitely think Carol is going to take Michonne’s comic storyline since Michonne has taken Andrea’s. I feel like they’ve been setting that up for some time.

    I hope that Maggie hangs Gregory’s ass sooner rather than later.
