Not much has been said about the press kit for season 2 of The Walking Dead and I’ll admit it’s not as nice as the one for season 1 (but then again, when is a press kit that nice? Well, not very often). Still, this one is quite interesting and contains a lot of stuff about the show, and most important; the two first episodes of season2. I have a copy on its way to me as we speak (together with a copy of the special edition DVD of season 1 (released on October 4th) and I’ll let you know more about both once I have them in my hand. Until then, enjoy these photos.
I got some really nice items in the mail today that I want to show you. The first one is a copy of Stephen King is Richard Bachman by Michael Collings. Published by Overlook Connection Press. It’s a very nice book about King writing as Bachman and it also have a lot of covers of Bachman’s books from all over the world.
The other thing was the huge Dark Tower omnibus. And it’s no joke that it’s huge. And the first thing I noticed when I opened the box it was in is how beautiful it is. It’s a really beautiful book and I can’t wait to check it out. It’ll give me a chance to catch up with this comic.
If you want your own copy of it for your collection you can get it here

The webisodes will give fans the opportunity to explore the back story of Hannah (Lilli Birdsell), better known as "Bicycle Girl," the infamous zombie from Season 1, who was shot by Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) in the pilot episode and who is one of the most celebrated "walkers" from last season. Fans will learn about Hannah's life before the apocalypse, her struggle to survive and protect her family as the world begins to fall apart, and her ultimate demise into zombie-hood.
The web series is produced by Generate, conceived and directed by The Walking Dead Co-Executive Producer Greg Nicotero with teleplay by John Esposito.
