Tommorrow’s the day. Chicago to San Diego to cover Comic Con International (AKA San Diego Comic-Con, SDCC) for Blogcritics. This is my fifth year going into the fray of crowds, cosplayers and general chaos that is the behemoth, ultimate fandom conclave of Comic-Con.  I can’t cover it all, and as …

Here’s hoping that season seven ends with Rick keeping his promise to kill Negan, preferably with that hatchet.

"The Walking Dead" is an excellent show, but blew it on these two deaths.

The TV TWD has to respect its viewership as much as Kirkman respects his comic readership, but right now it seems the TV fans are being treated with disdain.

One-on-one with film and television composer Bear McCreary (Battlestar Galactica, The Walking Dead, Outlander, etc.)

TellTale's "The Walking Dead: Michonne" mini-series ends on high note.

Unless you're just hooked on TellTale's interactive stories, there's really not much to love here. Episode 2: Give No Shelter does introduce a handful of new characters, but should have spent the short amount of time developing the ones that are already there.

If Negan winds up killing either Glenn or Daryl (both fan favorites), then the call for swift justice will be even more vociferous.

Then it occurred to me that the real victim of this terror tactic is Schrödinger’s cat. The victim — whoever it is — is in a state of suspended animation, both alive and dead, for seven freaking months until Season 7 begins, just like in the famous thought experiment. To recap the experiment, loathed by cat lovers everywhere: we put a living cat into a steel chamber along with a vial of hydrocyanic acid. There is a tiny amount of hydrocyanic acid, a radioactive substance, in the chamber. If even a single atom of the substance decays during the test period, it will trip a hammer, which will break the vial and kill the cat.

An entire nation of The Walking Dead watchers is feeling very twitchy and jumpy right about now as the hours tick down to what is arguably the most anticipated episode ever of AMC’s unlikely smash hit. Why so edgy? Since it was announced last November that Jeffrey Dean Morgan would play Negan, the dreaded leader of the villainous Saviors, and make his appearance in the final episode of Season 6, there has been constant speculation as to the consequences of that freighted debut.
