AMC has premiered the first Walking Dead Season 3 poster, a promotional photo that will be plastered all over San Diego at Comic-Con next week and available there for attendees to purchase.

As you can see, it features both of the season's key new characters: Danai Gurira's Michonne and David Morrissey's The Governor...

Showrunner Glen Mazzara recently assured fans of the graphic novel that The Governor would remain the villain they knew and loved to hate from those comic books - and now he has provided even more scoop on Season 3 to Entertainment Weekly.

"The entire landscape has fallen to zombies,” previews Mazzara. “The entire world has collapsed, the apocalypse has taken over, the zombies have taken over, there’s no safe place. And I think in the past our characters thought they could find some safe harbor, and now there’s just no good hiding place at all.”

That sounds terrible for the survivors. And downright awesome for viewers to watch when The Walking Dead returns this fall.
