Zombie Survival at The Walking Dead Escape

Are you ready for the Zombie Apocalypse? Have you been training for survival? Have you watched the news lately?

Are these cases of Zombie attacks and are they covering them up?


Well, there is good news if you are going to be in San Diego the weekend of July 12-15 during the San Diego Comic Con! In celebration of The Walking Dead #100, Robert Kirkman (creator of The Walking Dead) and Skybound Entertainment will be hosting an amazing event that you will not want to miss. The Walking Dead Escape can be a great way to train for survival in being a survivor of the apocalypse or even better yet, becoming a better Zombie. There are three incredible ways of being part of this event. Partcipants can become Walker (zombies, part of the herd, ...), Survivors trying to escape the apocalypse and other threats, or being a Spectator observing the madness. There are going to be very cool exclusives as well. All Walkers and Survivors who sign up will receive an Exclusive Special Edition Cover of The Walking Dead #100. All spectators will receive an Exclusive Special Edition Poster of the 100th Issue of The Walking Dead.


Official Press Release for The Walking Dead Escape:

Robert Kirkman, the creator/writer of The Walking Dead comic book series and graphic novels and www.Skybound.com announce their first event, The Walking Dead Escape: San Diego.  In conjunction with the release of the Eisner Award-winning The Walking Dead Issue #100 at San Diego Comic-Con, the event takes place July 12 -14 at Petco Park, centrally located near the San Diego Convention Center. Registration is now open at www.thewalkingdeadescape.com. There are three ways to participate in this epic adventure. Participants can be a Survivor and race through the zombie infested evacuation zone; a Walker who becomes one of the undead, embracing the inevitable; or a Spectator who watches the apocalypse from sidelines at the Escape Party.
The Walking Dead Escape: San Diego is unlike any obstacle course event in the U.S., expanding on the best-selling The Walking Dead comic book series and graphic novel storylines, allowing Survivors and Walkers to explore the initial days of the apocalypse.
“Our fans have been reading about it, watching it and now they get to live it with The Walking Dead Escape,” said Robert Kirkman. “We are literally transforming Petco Park into the early days of society’s collapse and San Diego is just the first city to fall.” 
Survivors will climb, crawl and slide in an effort to avoid confrontation by hordes of Walkers, while achieving the ultimate adventure on The Walking Dead-themed obstacle course. The Walking Dead Escape is not a race, and Survivors are not timed, but the end is near, and they must move swiftly. If they’re lucky, Survivors will reach the decontamination zone at the end where it will be determined if they have been infected.
Whether taking part in the event as a Survivor, Walker or Spectator, participants will be amazed at the interactive displays and The Walking Dead references along the course. Early registration is strongly recommended, as walk-ups may not be available on event day.  This summer The Walking Dead will be taking over Petco Park and fans will have a front row seat to the real-life action event of a lifetime.
