This is just in time for the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con, where the 10th anniversary celebration for the groundbreaking zombie franchise will take place.
"It's hard to believe the growth and expansion 'The Walking Dead' has undergone since I began writing the comic 10 years ago," says creator Robert Kirkman according to the LA Times.
"This entire event is a thank-you to fans of 'The Walking Dead' universe."
Comic-con is scheduled to run from July 18 to July 21 at the San Diego Convention, and at the heart of it will be the hit franchise, with events like zombie costume contests, makeup stations, celebrity appearances, as well as a booth to play "The Walking Dead" video game.
A particularly popular event is called "The Walking Dead Escape," where participants ("survivors") are pitted against employees dressed up as walkers in an obstacle course.
