Another Comic-con 2014 exclusive: the soon-to-released young adult book "Endgame" will debut at this year's Comic-con.
Authored by James Frey (A Million Little Pieces), Endgame will be released in stores on October 7, but this young adult novel is more than just a book. It is also a puzzle, a game, a treasure hunt, and already an upcoming film.
The first part in what is planned to be a trilogy follows 12 teenagers who are on a mission to find three keys that could very well be the answer to mankind's salvation, after the series of disasters that had struck.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, James Frey talked about the creative process behind his upcoming book. "Endgame was always conceived of and designed and created to be this pretty vast universe," says the author. "The idea was that we would build everything before it came out. We'd be proactive in creating the universe instead of reactive.
Attendees will be treated to an Endgame Comic-con 2014 exclusive, as the author, along with HarperCollins, and John Hanke, Google vice president and founder of Google's Niantic Labs will show a sneak peak of the book's vast universe.
This Endgame panel will discuss the book's universe, which spans different media, including an interactive mobile game where players can actually meet-up to play and earn points.
Aside from the mobile game, attendees can also head out to the Harper Collins booth before the panel, where they will be given a puzzle. The first 10 to solve this puzzle will win exclusive Endgame prizes.
Meanwhile, another Comic-con 2014 exclusive is the debut of The Walking Dead Season 5 banner. This latest promotional material from AMC shows the main characters of the show in handcuffs, their eyes fixated on the exit of the train car, where we left them the last season.
The characters on the banner are Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs), Michonne (Danai Gurira), Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun), Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan), and Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz).
