“The Walking Dead”: Artist Draws Badass Grown-Up Carl Grimes Concept Art

Published

There’s a new sheriff in town.

Every major character on “The Walking Dead” has gone through a serious evolution since the beginning of the show, to the point that characters like Rick Grimes and Carol Peletier seem like entirely different people than the ones we first met back in 2010. If you live long enough to survive for an extended period of time in the zombie apocalypse, you will undoubtedly become changed by that harsh way of life, and perhaps no character has done more growing that Carl Grimes.

Literally. He has literally grown up right before our eyes.

As we reported earlier this week, there’s a rumor going around that Carl’s days are numbered, and since he’s begun carelessly gunning for Negan even though that’s quite obviously the worst possible idea, it sure seems like the young Grimes is indeed about to get himself killed. But what if he outlives all expectations? What if Carl someday becomes, well, the new Rick?

Artist M.J. Hiblen just whipped up two pieces of concept art that depict his vision of a grown-up Carl, and we gotta say, the art is so badass that we’re kind of hoping Carl outlives everyone and becomes a post-apocalyptic warrior. With a long beard and even longer hair, Carl stands atop a pile of human skulls, and the weapon in his hand suggests that he conquered Negan.

Check out the awesome grow-up Carl Grimes art below!

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
