     The smallest Reaper takes out its insecurity on an innocuous house.

    Who has seen this picture?  It was even used as the image for Gamespot's front page review of ME3.  And yet it is very out of place.  Reapers are huge, for the most part.  They make skyscrapers look small.  And yet this one is only about wide as a house.  Next, what the hell is Shepard doing here?  Why is he randomly running along a prairie road rather than you know, doing anything useful whatsoever?  And then you might have seen this promo image from The Walking Dead.  So how the hell did this happen, and how did this clearly irrelevant, bizarre ME3 picture come to be considered practically an official image, being slapped onto articles? 
     Oh, right.  What the hell?

    I guess if you're twelve it looks cool.

    Alternative answer, it's artistic.

    Other answer, I don't fucking know.

    I'm pretty sure they did it to piggyback on the show's popularity. Doubt they much cared about making sense.

    One is an official GameStop promotional image for The Walking Dead. The other is an official GameStop promotional image for Mass Effect 3.

    Google - use it.

    They used that picture to promote the several TV spots and CG trailers they ran alongside the Walking Dead.

    Did you get mad at that one image of Shepard as the Battlefield 3 soldier?

    Or the Shepard's Eleven/Ocean's Eleven image?

    This was done on purpose. It was advertising the fact that their trailer was premiering during The Walking Dead

    According to google, the full mass effect trailer premiered on walking dead. Looks like the image is a promo for that.

    I couldn't find the image anywhere but random articles about Mass Effect 3.  If it's just a promo image referencing the trailer, why is it still being treated like official artwork?  It sounds like it was a one-time thing, but it keeps showing up.  Confusing, since I don't watch AMC and never clicked on any of those "ME3 trailer during Walking Dead" articles.
    Oh well.

    There was an ME3 promo during The Walking Dead, hence why that image was made.
