As Morgan Jones says, all life is precious, and yours should be devoted to "The Walking Dead" starting this Sunday, July 26. As AMC announced at Comic-Con, "Fear the Walking Dead" has its series premiere Sunday, August 23 at 9 p.m. on AMC, and "The Walking Dead" Season 6 has its supersized 90 minute premiere on Sunday, October 11 at 9 p.m., followed by "Talking Dead" at 10:30 p.m..

Leading up to those big premieres are two cool events:

1. AMC is launching a five Sunday, five season "Walking Dead" marathon, starting with Season 1, Episode 1, "Days Gone Bye" on Sunday, July 26 at 2:30 p.m. All six episodes of Season 1 will air that day. The next Sunday, August 2, Season 2 will start airing its 13 episodes at 7:30 a.m. The next Sunday, August 9, the 16 episodes of Season 3 will air. Season 4 airs Sunday, August 16. Season 5 will play out on Sunday, August 23. Here's AMC's full schedule. That marathon leads straight into...

2. The "Talking Dead Season 6 Preview Special" airs Sunday, August 23 at 8 p.m., with new details and interviews and cool stuff about the main show's sixth season. This will be followed by the "Fear the Walking Dead" premiere at 9 p.m.

So August 23 is a very big night for "Dead" fans, but the long slow shuffle to Season 6 begins this very weekend with the first Sunday marathon. Are you in?
