As it was revealed before, the 100th issue of The Walking Dead would have several variant covers, and now we have a first look at the Matthew Roberts' art for one of them. The comics featuring this cover will only be available to those who buy tickes for the The Walking Dead Escape: San Diego event, which will be taking place at the Comic-Con weekend. And the comic will only be given freely to walkers and survivors, while those who purchase spectator tickets will receive a poster with this artwork instead. This is a bit more of information on the event:

“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. Greg Nicotero and his team at KNB EFX will transform those who sign up to be Walkers into the most terrifying zombies to grace San Diego.

Skybound.com’s 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.

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.”




“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Matt Roberts since the very earliest days of my career,” Kirkman said in a statement. “I couldn’t be more thrilled that he’s coming back to comics to work with Skybound and I can’t think of a better way of reintroducing him to the world of comics than with this cover, commemorating The Walking Dead Escape and our monumental issue 100.”

@Sage

But apparently the author said he regret doing that so I bet Rick won't get his hands cut off in the TV series.

I also doubt they'll take his hand in the show. For one, it would be a nightmare for effects, and Kirkman has openly said taking Rick's hand was something he regrets doing.
