• ComicBook.com features the second set of figures based on AMC's The Walking Dead: Rick, Shane and three walkers.

• Danai Gurira (Michonne) talks to California's KCET and the Culver City Patch about her life as a playwright and actor. The Los Angeles Times marvels that Gurira somehow “also found time to write this extraordinarily ambitious play,” The Convert.

• At Comic Con in Dubai, The National reports that Laurie Holden is hoping the show doesn't kill off any more characters “because it's becoming a bit of a bloodbath.”

• Adweek cites the upcoming The Walking Dead Social Game as an example of cable channels successfully “extending on-air brands into games, apps and other content that may deepen engagement with the show.”

• Hollywire is excited about Lauren Cohan's return last week to The Vampire Diaries: “Welcome back, Lauren Cohan! I love you on The Walking Dead, but I miss you on VD!”
