EW Debuts The Walking Dead Portraits and Production Shots

Teasing its latest issue — the one with four collector’s covers featuring stars from The Walking Dead — Entertainment Weekly has unveiled new cast portraits, behind-the-scenes photos and episode stills from the upcoming third season of the hit AMC drama.

The portraits, which you can see below, show Rick Grimes, Danai Gurira as Michonne, David Morrissey as the Governor and Michael Rooker as the returning Merle Dixon. The behind-the-scenes photos, which you can see at EW.com, are particularly interesting, as they include animated walker transformations (among them, Michonne’s jawless, armless companions).

The new season, which debuts Oct. 14, finds Rick and the other refugees from the Greene farm hoping to transform the West Georgia Correctional Facility — aka the Prison — into a safe haven, only to discover the greatest threat may not come from the zombies but rather from the nearby town of Woodbury.

DC HeroClix: Justice League Booster

In a world where inexperienced superheroes operate under a cloud of suspicion from the public, loner vigilante Batman has stumbled upon a dark evil that threatens to destroy the earth as we know it. Now, faced with a threat far beyond anything he can handle on his own, the Dark Knight must trust an alien, a scarlet speedster, an accidental teenage hero, a space cop, an Amazon Princess, and an undersea monarch. Will this combination of Superman, The Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman be able to put aside their differences and come together to save the world? Or will they destroy each other first?

Featuring all-new sculpts and dial designs based upon the "New 52" Justice League and Justice League Dark comics stories, this DC HeroClix single-booster expansion introduces 22 new figures to add to your HeroClix games, including fan-favorites like Cyborg, Deathstroke, and Firestorm, while characters like Madame Xanadu and John Constantine appear for the first time ever in HeroClix!

(W) Mark Kidwell
(A/CA) Nat Jones
 

In the heart of war-torn Saigon, a handful of battered survivors hold Tan Son Nhat Airport against an endless army of Viet Cong and the shambling dead. Crumbling bunkers defend the outer perimeter as inside... a seething hatred builds. And in the jungle, the desperate remainders of a deep recon SEAL team meet their luckless rescuers in the dripping shadows of a tropical slaughterhouse.
 
As old wounds heal, new ones open... and souls are laid bare.

Creators MARK KIDWELL, NAT JONES and JAY FOTOS continue their epic of military/zombie horror in this second part of the ongoing '68 series: '68: SCARS!
