RYAN OTTLEY / RICK GRIMES 2000 original art drops tomorrow, Tues. 9/28, at 9AM PDT/12PM EDT! WALKING DEAD + INVINCIBLE!

What if you crossed THE WALKING DEAD with INVINCIBLE? Ryan Ottley's RICK GRIMES 2000 original art drops tomorrow, Tuesday, September 28th at 9AM PDT/12PM EDT! Pages PLUS cover!

For THE WALKING DEAD #75, Robert Kirkman added a fun 7-page backup story as a bonus: RICK GRIMES 2000. It's THE WALKING DEAD set in an alternate reality...where ANYTHING goes. And who else better to bring this insane idea to life than the Master of Mayhem (and his collaborator on INVINCIBLE) Ryan Ottley?

We thought that teaser was all we would ever see of it. It was...until this summer's SKYBOUND X event. Celebrating 10 years of Skybound, Robert and Ryan bring back RICK GRIMES 2000...and it's even wilder than we could have ever imagined!

Rick Grimes will return to THE WALKING DEAD comic to battle aliens

INVINCIBLE established Ryan as a comics superstar. With fans, readers, critics...and art collectors! We've SOLD OUT of all 436 covers/pages from INVINCIBLE that we've gotten! From INVINCIBLE, Ryan went straight to perhaps the biggest title in all of comics: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. Suffice it to say, there has been no other artist more important to the superhero comics genre so far this century than Ryan.

Neither ASM, nor even INVINCIBLE, though, will prepare you for the absolute madness Ryan unleashes in RICK GRIMES 2000. ASM is the comics gig every artist dreams about, but there are constraints. NO such constraints when working with Robert, and if Ryan has been feeling repressed for these past several years, he let's it all out now! And now you get to own a piece of 100% Ottley artistic expression!

RICK GRIMES 2000 is the ultimate WHAT IF? tale for the modern era. It will soon be collected in a beautiful hardcover edition that is sure to be a must-have for fans for as long as THE WALKING DEAD, INVINCIBLE, Robert Kirkman, and most of all, Ryan Ottley, matter. 40 pages plus the cover will be available. That's it. Once they're gone, they're gone. They will be priced accordingly; as always time payment plans are available with prior approval. You can see all the art previewed on the latest episode of our UNBOXING / ART SHOW livestream on YouTube. Refresh the UPDATES tab at the drop to see all the art at once. Thanks everyone, good luck tomorrow!
