‘The Walking Dead Escape’ Returns to San Diego Comic Con!
It’s hard to believe that we’re just a few weeks away from another San Diego Comic Con, but preview night is just 22 days away, and I cannot wait to get out of Canada and head back to the San Diego area.
Last year was my very first SDCC, and as such I had no idea what to expect. The entire week was insane (especially that Ubisoft Assassin’s Creed party), but one of my biggest regrets was missing out on The Walking Dead Escape event.
I walked by Petco Park countless times during the week, and every time I was wowed by the post-apocalyptic obstacle course inside. It looked absolutely incredible (especially for me, who lives in a small, boring town in Canada), and it’s an event that I mention when talking about last year’s convention to this day.
The Walking Dead Escape is back this year, and I am so excited to experience the event in person. After its successful 2012 debut at San Diego’s Petco Park, The Walking Dead Escape expanded with three additional events in major cities in 2013, including New York, where the course was integrated aboard the aircraft carrier the USS Intrepid. Based on fans’ enthusiastic response, Skybound decided to take the events to the next level with a national tour.
“I’m thrilled to offer fans new and old an even bigger, more interactive experience this time around. It’s great to see fans of the comic book and television series live in the world I created so many years ago,” says Robert Kirkman, creator and executive producer of The Walking Dead.
Tickets are on sale now for the SDCC event, which will take place on July 25th and 26th, and an early-bird special is active until July 4th. Head to the official The Walking Dead Escape site for more info, and I’ll see you on the course!
