Skybound Entertainment announced that Matt Wagner will provide a series of connecting variant covers for the All Out War storyline in The Walking Dead Deluxe series.
Each of the covers in the connecting series depicts a prominent survivor in stark full color amid a background of the Walkers they fight against in muted ombré pastel.
“When Skybound offered me these covers, they asked if I could possibly weave them all together into some sort of continuous tapestry,” said Matt Wagner. “My first idea was to link the covers as frames in an animated sequence that changed characters with every issue, the action charging left-to-right and finally turning back on itself. For me, the funnest part was the canopy background of Walkers and making sure that each and every one of the 100+ undead were completely different from each other. And then Brennan’s incredible coloring made the whole thing flow as one grand montage!”
The variant covers begin to appear on The Walking Dead Deluxe #115, which arrives on June 18, 2025.
