动漫展是每年电影公司和电视广播网，通过利用即将发布上映的作品来调观众胃口和博观众眼球来大肆宣传的最好时机。今年，AMC参展将主推——《行尸走肉》、《传教士》、凯文·史密斯与格雷格·格伦伯格主演的即将上映的《Geeking Out》，以及丧尸满满的衍生剧《行尸之惧》。由于《行尸之惧》第二季的下半部分要在漫展一个月后才回归，广播网为了刺激参会者(以及待在家里的忠实观众)放出了一款全新海报和两张剧照。

　　第二季的上半部分花了7集的内容讲述崔维斯、麦蒂森、尼克、斯特兰德以及其他人以客人的身份进驻了墨西哥大庄园。他们在那里，被袭击过的幸存者们那脆弱的联盟开始分崩离析，拜尼克老妈不满——斯特兰德曾承诺过为他的团队敞开大门，收留他们的不怎么安全的避风港的女族长——西莉亚所赐，尼克变得特立独行，在庄园起火后步入尸群独自离开，崔维斯脱离队伍跑去关怀儿子，而麦蒂森、艾丽西亚和斯特兰德则逃出被大批丧尸涌入曾帮助过他们的庄园。

　　从第一季的洛杉矶到第二季前半段的海上漂流再到墨西哥大庄园，给了该剧异于主剧的味道。随着第二季后半段准备回归，新海报描绘的亡灵节装饰风格的骷髅被一双双未死之人争相着去摸。这张照片既点出了剧集的主题，又根据其地理位置和演员展现了多元文化。

　　除了时尚的海报，AMC还放出另外两张照片。

　　第一张，一群僵尸仿佛感知到美餐步履阑珊的朝镜头走来，而中间的从模样来看应该是刚死不久。

　　另外一张，视觉上没有什么冲击，但对剧集的粉丝来说就现的尤为重要啦。尼克，和季中结束的装束一样，看起来还不错，正前往一个遥远的地方。

　　《行尸之惧》的角色在找到避难所后，或许不会像之前的《行尸走肉》一样直白，但还是会去讨论新的安全区比旧的好。

　　《行尸之惧》8月21日晚9点AMC回归。

　　Comic-con is the time of year when studios and television networks roll out some of their best stuff in an attempt to leverage the general hype surrounding the event and to get a few extra eyeballs on their upcoming releases. This year, AMC plans to attend the Con with four of its most comic-friendly shows – The Walking Dead, Preacher, the upcoming Geeking Out with Kevin Smith and Greg Grunberg, and, of course, its zombie-filled spinoff, Fear the Walking Dead. Since Fear is set to return for the second half of its second season – or season 2B as some like to call it – a month after Comic-Con, the network has seen fit to get attendees (and loyal viewers at home) excited about the show by releasing a new poster and two new images from when the series returns.

　　The first half of season 2 spent the latter part of its seven episodes with Travis, Madison, Nick, Strand, and the others as guests in a vast compound in Mexico. While they were there, the tenuous alliance that had been struck amongst the survivors began to fall apart, with loner Nick striking off on his own after the compound burst into flames, thanks to his mother’s grievance with Celia, the matriarch of the not-so-safe safe haven that Strand had promised would welcome his crew with open arms. In the end, the group was in shambles, as Travis ran off to take care of his son Chris, while Madison, Alicia, and Strand found themselves fleeing a horde of zombies that helped bring the compound to ruins.

　　The switch in locales from Los Angeles in season 1 to the open seas in the first half of season 2 to, finally, the compound in Mexico gave the series a much different flavor than its older sibling. And as season 2 is preparing to start up again, the Mexican and Mexican American influences are seen in the new poster that depicts a skull that’s decorated in the style seen in the Day of the Dead celebrations being manhandled by the undead. The image is evocative of the themes of the show, while also being representative of the diverse cultures the series depicts in both its geographic locations and its cast.

　　In addition to the stylish new poster art, AMC has released two new images. While the first image depicts a collection of zombies, presumably shambling off toward some tasty snack off screen, the actual value of seeing the dead – and from the looks of it, recently dead – is somewhat moot at this point. The other image, however, is a different story. Although it has much less actually going on visually, the other photo may be much more important for fans of the series. When Fear the Walking Dead took its midseason break, Nick was seen alone and covered in gore just outside the compound. While he hasn’t changed his shirt since then – which is probably a good idea – the image shows that Nick doing just fine on his own, and seemingly heading someplace far from where he last saw his mother and sister.

　　It may not be incredibly revealing, but it does suggest that, like The Walking Dead before it, Fear will have its characters once more in search for sanctuary after spending the previous episodes finding out the last place they found wasn’t such a good fit after all.

　　Fear the Walking Dead returns with on Sunday, August 21 @9pm on AMC.
