It’s been a little slow in The Walking Dead news department lately. We don’t post spoilers (and there are TONS of spoilery articles floating around out there), so we had to wait until there where some non-spoiler articles to pass along. This week there is much to report to you guys! Enjoy!
Now, on to the news:

Season 6 is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray! Enjoy this chance to re-watch “BL” (before Lucille).  There are tons of special features including deleted scenes, the making of special walkers and, of course, the uncensored Negan speech in episode 6.16 (warning: Jeffrey Dean Morgan uses some very Negan language, aka he cusses A LOT).

The special edition will be released November 2016 (this version comes with the “truck walker” case which is SUPER COOL!)  Pick up your copy by clicking on the pics!
