‘The Walking Dead – Episode 3’ Is Available Now On iOS
It’s about time. Episode 3 in Telltale Games’ episode series based on The Walking Dead is finally available on iOS devices. Long Road Ahead has so far been my favorite episode of the bunch, and that’s saying something for a quality series like this. It’s an intense roller coaster ride that will leave you emotionally drained and hungry for the next episode, which released on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 last week (it’s also pretty great).
If you’re looking to get your zombie fix, I highly suggest grabbing your iPhone or iPad so you can download Long Road Ahead now. Each episode is $4.99 if you grab them individually, or you can purchase them all for $14.99 and they’ll unlock as each new episode becomes available.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
