Well of course the world’s going gonna need Rick Grimes – what the hell would we do without him?

Today AMC unveiled the official poster for the second half of “The Walking Dead” Season 5 (click to see a bigger version). Per AMC, the artwork features Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and the survivors walking down a deserted street. In the foreground lies a map onto which is scrawled, “The New World’s Gonna Need Rick Grimes” — a reference to the message Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) left for Rick on the map to D.C., which Morgan (Lennie James) later finds in the Midseason Finale.
