Surviving The Walking Dead Wondercon Panel

FORENSIC PSYCHIATRISTS AND STAR OF AMC’S THE WALKING DEAD ANALYZE THE MINDS OF ITS HEROES AND VILLAINS


Los Angeles, CA, March 2015 – This year, the doctors of Broadcast Thought, H. Eric Bender, M.D., Praveen R. Kambam, M.D., and Vasilis K. Pozios, M.D. (regular contributors to The Walking Dead: The Official Magazine), return to WonderCon for another must-see panel. On Friday, April 3, 2015, from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm in Room 207, they will team up with very special guest, Michael Cudlitz (Abraham Ford on AMC's The Walking Dead) to present Surviving The Walking Dead: Understanding Behavior in a World Without Rules.”

In The Walking Dead, ethical lines are crossed and taboos broken as survivors adapt to a new way of life. The panelists consider what drives the living to do terrible things and how far they will go. Why do the atrocities committed by The Governor and The Hunters attract followers? Did society's breakdown break Morgan's psyche? Does Abraham's traumatic past direct his "mission?" How does Rick remain sane? Is he immune to the “insanity?” In a world of walkers, is humanity a liability? Learn how some rise above the mayhem while others fall into the depths of derangement when walkers prey on the living, the living prey on each other, and everyone prays they survive!
