New 'The Walking Dead' trailer, dissected shot by shot
Take a closer look at the new Comic-Con trailer for "The Walking Dead." Season 8 airs on AMC on Oct. 22.
Rick in sunlight
Our hero Rick looks rather Zen in this rare but peaceful moment on "The Walking Dead."
Smiling for all the wrong reasons
When Negan smiles, you know you're in trouble.
Time to panic
Gabriel looks concerned... and for good reason. Walkers are at the window and Negan is in too good of a mood.
Flowery memories
Carol pontificates on posies while Tara eats a Twizzler.
Worst commute ever
Carl searches for weapons and discovered a very deceased (hopefully) driver.
Walkers show up in droves...
Daryl watches as a horde of walkers slowly make their way to him.
Michonne and Rosita go for a drive
The view outside must be pretty disturbing.
The happy homestead
Even grand mansions look creepy in a "Walking Dead" trailer.
Bloody knuckles
Aaron's bloodied hands make us wonder who exactly he was using as a punching bag.
Hands up!
There's no dialogue in the first half of the trailer, but it's pretty easy to lip-read the word, "Bang."
A secret note
Dwight gets a note that says, "Tomorrow." Could this be a sign of revolution in the ranks?
Hiding out in the hallway
Carol lurks behind a door in the kind of creepy hallway that makes you think of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining."
Tally marks of the dead
That's one way to keep score of how many walkers and humans you've killed with a gun.
Get the bag!
Whatever is in that plastic bag, this walker wants it. Here's hoping it's a masterful trap and not just a way to torment the undead.
I spy Aaron
Who is watching Aaron through a pair of binoculars?
The walls have eyes
This could be one of our heroes in trouble or a Savior trying his best to keep an eye on activities outside.
Not so happy to see you...
This isn't the best kind of welcoming crowd. One can only conclude they are all looking at a common foe.
Looking ahead...
Daryl, Tara, Carol and Morgan all stare at the building in the distance.
Bonding moment
"Thank you, your majesty, for being such a cool dude," Jerry says to Ezekiel.
Walkers on parade?
The walkers seem to be following the vehicles like an undead pride parade.
Daryl on his sweet ride
Daryl makes riding a motorcycle in the middle of a walker war look like fun.
Zombieland?
There are a lot of different kinds of walker corpses in this shot. Metal dumped over the walker in the background -- usually by Eugene to hold things in place.
Armed and ready
Daryl and Rick are prepared for battle using their favorite weapons.
Time for a pep talk
Ezekiel rallies the Kingdom's troops in the woods.
Don't shoot!
The raising of a fist often means, "Hold your fire."
Rick looks worried
Whenever there's a close-up on Rick's tense face, chances are things are about to get worse.
Kaboom!
Daryl doing what he does best -- blow stuff up!
Rest break
Walkers might be gathering by the hundreds below, but that doesn't mean Carol and Tara can't take a break.
Guns a-blazin'
If you're going to ambush walkers, or pesky humans, it's good to be heavily armed.
Everyone's a critic
This is not the crowd you want to have an argument with.
New sheriff in town
Carl looks mighty handy with his trusty gun.
Point and shoot
We'd follow Carol into a walker battle any day.
Grrrrreat!
Shiva does not look happy.
Walker time!
With all this human-on-human fighting, it's nice to be reminded that "The Walking Dead" is supposed to be about these guys.
The bat comes down
When Negan is mad, that's cause to celebrate.
Walker smile
Here's a walker grin only a walker mother could love.
Gather around
Jadis and the Scavengers gather to have a confab, but what about?
Too close for comfort
Carl gets a little love from this walker, but will he survive?
Walking cane?
Does the cane mean we're in a new era of walking sticks without walkers?
Big explosions!
Yet another explosion makes this trailer fun to watch.
Rick van Winkle?
White beard and a ragged old Rick gives us all hope that he'll get out of season 8 alive. Of course, this could also mean we get a time jump just like in "The Walking Dead" comic books.
