The Walking Dead: 10 Awesome Moments From The Season 8 Trailer

The first trailer for season 8 of The Walking Dead is finally here, courtesy of the show's panel at San Diego Comic-Con yesterday. It's an extra-long five-minute presentation that teases a massive change of pace this season compared to last year, and we couldn't be more excited about it.

Carol And Morgan Are Back In Action

Most of The Walking Dead season 7 kept Carol out of the action, due to her taking up self-imposed isolation in the Kingdom. Despite previously not wanting to fight again, Carol is seen tooling up like old times in the trailer for season 8.

Fans love Carol because she still retains her motherly instincts even when she’s in badass mode, and one moment in the trailer shows that off brilliantly. When about to fire off a shotgun, she tells a nearby young boy to “cover your ears.” For us, the best part of this is the resigned look on her face as she goes to shoot, as if to say: “OK, here we go again…”

Another character who’d decided to take a vow of pacifism and hang out at the Kingdom was Morgan, but it’s a given that he’ll also have to return to his previous violent ways this year. After starting to kill again at the end of season 7, Morgan looks to have unleashed his inner fury. “I don’t die,” he promises. We hope this isn’t a bit of ironic foreshadowing and just a show of his confidence in his fighting skills.

There’s even a brief snippet in the trailer of Morgan lashing out at Jesus. What’s going on here, though? Will the pair have a full-on fight, or this just a simple misunderstanding that’s quickly calmed down?
