The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead will have a large presence at San Diego Comic Con. We now know there will be an offsite event, too.

San Diego Comic Con is approaching and The Walking Dead fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the season 8 trailer during The Walking Dead panel in Hall H. (Click here if you’re looking for more information about the release of the trailer) SDCC has released a list of offsite events, and it looks like there will be a big presence for both Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead alike.

Before we continue, you might be wondering what an offsite event is. Since SDCC is so big, some of the event programming has spilled out into the neighboring Gaslamp Quarter. Some panels and experiences take place at nearby hotels and open spaces. In some cases, these events do not require SDCC badges to get in, while others do.

San Diego Comic Con has announced that AMC will host “Deadquarters” across the street from the San Diego Convention Center. This offsite event is where the Fear the Walking Dead cast will sign autographs on Friday afternoon, and fans will be able to win an opportunity to meet the cast. (Remember, SDCC is very different than Walker Stalker Cons — there are no guarantees of getting an autograph)

The event will also have fun things like the Negan Batting Cages and other Walking Dead-themed activities.

San Diego Comic Con takes place July 19-23, 2017.
