New The Walking Dead Season 1 One Sheet Television Poster

We’re still over a month away from the series premiere of AMC's The Walking Dead, but the TV show’s marketing is now in full swing! Just check out the newest one sheet television poster for the show below. It seems like everyone is really excited for this comic book adaptation about a world overrun by zombies, but The Blot really hopes there’s actual interest in this property and it’s not all hype (ala Scott Pilgrim). Then again, the expectations placed on a cable television show are very different from those placed on a major summer movie.

 The Walking Dead follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes, traveling in search of a safe and secure home. Andrew Lincoln will portray the lead role of Rick Grimes while actor Jon Bernthal will portray the character Shane, who worked with Rick in the police department before the zombie disaster. Other cast members includes Laurie Holden, who plays Andrea, one of two sisters who join the survivors of the zombie plague, Steven Yeun as Glenn, an expert scavenger, and Sarah Wayne Callies, who plays Rick's wife Lori.

The Walking Dead, based on the popular Image comic book of the same name by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore, series premiere will air October 31, 2010 on AMC with a speical 90 minute episode.

NYCC 2010 Exclusive New Mutants Minimates Boxed Set

Action Figure Xpress (“AFX”) will be releasing a New York Comic-Con 2010 exclusive New Mutants boxed set based on the characters’ original look in the 1980s comic books. This NYCC exclusive box set includes New Mutants Cannonball, Susnpot, Wolfsbane and Karma.



As an added bonus, the set comes with two alternate heads of Wolfsbane and Sunspot. This way you can swap their heads out with Karma and Cannonball’s so you can have de-powered versions of Rahne and Roberto in their classic yellow and black uniforms. I don’t think I can accurately put into words how excited The Blot is for this release. The New Mutants was one of my favorite books as a kid, and for some reason action figures based on these characters’ original looks have never really been produced.



The New York Comic-Con 2010 Exclusive New Mutants Minimates Box Set by AFX will retail for around $17.00 each. If you’re unable to attend NYCC ’10 have no fear, these should be showing up on online retailers’ websites sometime soon!

NYCC 2010 Exclusive Age of Apocalypse X-Men Minimates Set 2

Action Figure Xpress (“AFX”) will be releasing an awesome Minimates boxed set based on the classic ‘90s X-Men crossover “Age of Apocalypse” as a New York Comic-Con 2010 exclusive! This NYCC exclusive box set includes “Age of Apocalypse” versions of X-Men members Wolverine, Jean Grey and Beast, and the villainous Apocalypse. AOA was one of The Blot’s favorite Marvel storylines back in the day, and these Age of Apocalypse figures bring back some great memories of the ‘90s era comic book boom.


The New York Comic-Con 2010 Exclusive Age of Apocalypse Minimates Box Set 2 by AFX will retail for $17.00 each. If you’re unable to attend NYCC ’10 have no fear, these should be showing up on online retailers’ websites sometime soon!
