The Walking Dead Season 2 Gets A 90 Minute Premiere

The Walking Dead returns October 16th and season 2 will of course be a full season of 12 episodes.  The bad news is, AMC has decided to split it into two parts.  Six episodes in October, then the final six  to begin airing in February.  It's not so bad really, it will just be a shorter wait until season 3, and with that AMC announced that the premiere will be 90 minutes long!

The Dead Will Return For Season Two

Are you watching The Walking Dead?  It seems a lot of people are and if you aren't, then you should be!  After two highly rated and awesome episodes, AMC confirms that The Walking Dead will be picked up for a second season.  The Walking Dead airs Sunday nights at 9 p.m. central on AMC.

"The 'Dead' has spread!" said Charlie Collier, President, AMC. "No other cable series has ever attracted as many Adults 18-49 as 'The Walking Dead.' This reaffirms viewers' hunger for premium television on basic cable. We are so proud to be bringing back 'The Dead' again, across the globe."

"I wish all programming decisions were no brainers like this one," said Sharon Tal Yguado, SVP Scripted Programming. "'The Walking Dead' is a TV masterpiece on so many levels. We want at least 10 seasons, if not more. Kudos to AMC!"

Comicpalooza Update

Have you heard about the latest guests added to Comicpalooza!  The convention will be held May 27, 28, and 29, 2011 at the George R Brown convention Center in Houston, Texas and the lineup continues to get better.  Here are the latest additions!  Don't forget you can also find the most up to date Comicpalooza guest lists at the official site comicpalooza.com!

Linnea Quigley

Linnea is best known for her role as “Trash” in the film The Return of the Living Dead. She has also starred in dozens of other horror films including Nightmare Sisters, Creepozoids, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, Night of the Demons (the 1988 original and the 2010 remake), and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. Quigley is the author of two books about her career as a B-movie actress, The Linnea Quigley Bio and Chainsaw Book and I’m Screaming as Fast as I Can, as well as the horror pictorial book Skin.

Joe Jusko

In the field of fantasy illustration, Joe Jusko is at the top of the heap. Over the years, he’s worked for most every leading comic book publisher, producing hundreds of comics and cover images, as well as art for trading cards, calendars, T-shirts, toy packaging, paperback book covers and posters. After apprenticing with the legendary Howard Chaykin, Jusko began creating cover art for the fantasy magazine Heavy Metal before beginning a long run at Marvel Comics. While he’s illustrated most major comics super heroes, he’s probably best known for producing what are considered definitive interpretations of the characters of author Edgar Rice Burroughs as well as his personal favorite, Vampirella.

Bruce Cordell

Bruce enjoyed six years of biotech research while pursuing his biology degree, and for three years after achieving it. But realms of the fantastic were never far from him. Bruce’s freelance game design for various online multiuser text games ultimately landed him a design position at TSR. However instead of coding online multiuser D&D games, he found himself designing traditional roleplaying adventures and supplements, which is work he’s enjoyed ever since.

Also just a reminder: Corresponding with Comicpalooza's 2011 theme, "Year of the Zombie" the convention has partnered with Zombie Walk Houston. This year's zombie walk will take place October 23, 2010, and will benefit Tilman Troops, a Houston based charity that provides support and assistance to our troops overseas.

The first annual Zombie Walk Houston in 2008 was attended by 100+zombies and 237 meals were created through non-perishable donations for the Houston Food Bank. In 2009, the event tripled in size, as 300 people showed up. Comicpalooza and Zombie Walk Houston look to make the 2010 event the most successful one yet.

How Dangerous Is A Zombie?

Yahoo ran this short little fun story and I'm going drop it in the blog here because it fits with the 2011 Comicpalooza theme of Zombies.  Read it.  Check it out.  Watch for Zombies!

(From yahoo.com) It's a little quiet today -- too quiet. You can't get a signal on your phone, there's nothing but evacuation reruns on TV, and the only thing emptier than the streets are the shelves at your local grocery store. If you're thinking this sounds a lot like the apocalypse, that's because it is. And everyone knows that with an apocalypse comes your dedicated legion of zombies.
But then the question becomes: what kind of zombies will you be facing? Is it the classic undead zombie of "Night of the Living Dead," the alien-possessed automaton of "Slither," or a diseased killing machine from this weekend's "Resident Evil: Afterlife"?
We've put together a guide to help understand the dangers of some of Hollywood's most gruesome zombies. For some you'll stand a chance, while with others we wish you the best of luck. Either way, you'll be well prepared should you encounter one while scavenging for survival.
Which type of zombie would you not want to be caught with in an apocalypse?
