The Walking Dead

By on August 25, 2010 in Daily Mathematics, geek-ish

I’ve been heavy in reading the ongoing Image comic book graphic novel series ‘The Walking Dead’. Without giving anything away, it’s about a group of people who are survivors of a zombie epidemic. Zombies scare the shit out of me, more than anything else. What’s crazy though, is that as this drama unfolds, you start fearing the surviving humans more. Humans are batshit crazy.

Pound for pound, this may very well be my current favorite book running. I was geeked to hear months ago that AMC, the network that brings us ‘Mad Men’ and ‘Breaking Bad’ picked up the series. They just blessed us with this official teaser/trailer. Other than the main character having the worst southern accent I’ve ever heard (the actor, Andrew Lincoln is British), shit looks right.

AMC announced that the 90 minute pilot episode will be airing this October 31st. I guess my kids will have to forget about pops taking them trick-or-treating.

I’m tired all this weird vampire shit getting overrated props. Let’s get gully on ‘em.

    This “graphic novel” you mention is really a comic right?

    The Walking Dead is tight. Even though Kirkman borrowed some elements from the works of others I’m not mad.

    This comic book basically let’s you in on a “secret” that many people know. Crowds of human beings are simply paranoid, batshit crazy and generally stupid. No wonder the American government doesn’t trust the people to select their presidents or their electors.

    Yeah this comic is dope, I’ve read through the first 3 hardcover compilations and its super ill. I plan on putting this series on DVR for sure. I just hope they don’t stray from the original story or plot too much cause that would be super dissapointing. Another comic thats dope is Locke and Key, shit is on some other occult level.
