awesome. thanks ziggy. AMC is kind of on fire arent they?

i was into it at "zombies" , the fact that frank darabont directs it seals the deal.

I mean Shawshank man....he made Shawshank. How can this not be good?

I never got into Mad Men which got lots of critical acclaim, but if this is half as good as Breaking bad which is another AMC show, then it'll be must see TV.

Zombies...yes!
I love zombie movies, games, novels!

Big zombie fan.
When L4D came out, I was so happy.
When Killing Floor came out, I also again was happy (though was more mutants than zombies)
When L4D2 came out, I cried in frustration at Valve.

But I am so watching that, and also looking forward to 28 months later coming in 2011. Resident Evil movies are crap as as they add some superpowered chick and don't stick to the original STARS Redfield+Valentine which sucks balls.

But really, that series looks good.

Has anyone here read The Walking Dead? Just wondering.

I haven't read it, but after reading the reviews on Amazon, I'd like to.
I wonder if reading the book would ruin the show for me though

I reckon it'd be just as with the 'Watchmen' (here assuming that the show is gonna follow the comics' storyline), in that most everyone who watched the movie without being familiar with its basis thoroughly enjoyed it, whilst others kept nitpicking and finding shortcomings. Then again, maybe the episodic format will do the source material due justice.

I'm hoping it's gonna rock.

the new show rubicon is also pretty good through 3 episodes.

I cant believe someone finally made a zombie show. This is going to be awsome. There is so much more to be explored than what is shown in movies.

Been reading it in single-issue form since it came out (boy, did I make a mint selling earlier issues on ebay!!!)

From reading the letters pages in the back of each issue, I'd say anyone who wants to read collected editions is safe from spoilers...maybe the first volume will spoil, but I hear they're veering off from then on.

Not sure if the show will follow suit, but the comic is 80% character study/20% zombie/horror, which doesn't seem like a good ratio, but it makes that 20% all the more horrific. Some crazy shit happens in the book (which is black and white)....really interested to see how they pull it off in live action color.
