The Walking Dead: Season 4 Poster released by AMC

Making its long awaited return in just about a month's time, AMC calms fans' appetites for "The Walking Dead" by releasing the brand new "Season 4 poster" for the show! Like previous season one sheets before it, this ominous centerpiece for the show once again features main protagonist and survivor Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln), standing front and center amidst a broken fence that once protected what should be the now reinforced Prison that he and his fellow survivors reside in.

SPOILER THOUGHTS follow from here on, so read at your own risk after the jump.

The Walking Dead: "An Eye For An Eye" Season 3 poster debuts

Slated to return next month February, AMC is gearing fans up for the inevitable consequences and clash Rick Grimes and his crew will have against The Governor and Woodbury when The Walking Dead returns and resumes its 3rd season. Despite current showrunner Glen Mazarra leaving after Season 3 wraps up, everything is going strong for the show based on the comic book series by Robert Kirkman, as things escalate to a threat that's clearly more dangerous than the undead themselves.

David Morrissey is "The Governor" in The Walking Dead TV Series

AMC has announced that British actor/ director David Morrissey has been cast as the popular villainous character "The Govenor" for their upcoming third season of their popular zombie drama TV series, The Walking Dead.

Those who have followed the original comic book series helmed by Robert Kirkman knows that The Governor is a fan favorite character, and has served as the ultimate definition of a crafty, unrelenting, and insane villain who has terrorized and given Rick Grimes and his fellow survivors a hell of a hard time. One has to wonder how things will play out in the TV Series, which has taking liberties at deviating from the source material, but has gained a strong cult following nonetheless. It will be interesting to see how things roll down as Season 2 prepares to wrap up. So far, I'm enjoying the ride, and zombies are the least of Rick and crew's worries in the long run.

Expect to see David Morrissey take up the mantle of The Governor when The Walking Dead returns for its third season later this year.
