The Walking Dead Season 7 Banner

The first official image from the upcoming seventh season of The Walking Dead featured the psychotic Negan cheerfully pointing his barbed wire-wrapped baseball bat Lucille at his chosen victim, and now AMC has released some new key art, which reverses the viewpoint and gives us a glimpse of the terrified faces of the group of main characters at his mercy.

Season 6 ended with a very controversial cliffhanger, but viewers have been promised we’ll find out which unfortunate soul met a grisly end as soon as the show returns to our screens in a few months time. Before that, though, San Diego Comic-Con International attendees will get to see the first season 7 trailer during The Walking Dead panel, which will take place on Friday, July 22.

Cast members Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, Chandler Riggs, Michael Cudlitz, Sonequa Martin-Green, Christian Serratos, Ross Marquand, Josh McDermitt and Jeffrey Dean Morgan have all been confirmed to appear, so expect some big announcements to be made there.

Season 7 of The Walking Dead premieres in October.
