Ive heard great things about the comic....

What's the story behind the comics? It seems like a zombie tv show could run out of ideas fairly quick. I'll watch regardless, zombies are cool.

Zombies provide more of a back drop. In the comic there are lots of different story lines dealing with other people rather than just going around hacking zombies.

This show premieres Sunday at 10 eastern on AMC. Its a 90 minute episode. IGN reviewed it and it got 9/10, although I was expecting it to be good because Frank Darabont directed the premiere. Unfortunately the first season is only 6 episodes but hopefully it gets picked up.

If anyone is interested in reading the comic, which is really good, a little googling involving torrents should set you up just fine. Currently there are 78 issues out I believe and you can find torrents that have like 1-72 and stuff like that. You'll have to download CDisplay though to view them, or at least I did.

Looks good, even if it does look like there was a $10 budget.

they have a tank, shut down half a busy city, and thousands of zombies. Hardly an independent film budget

It's already been renewed for a second season.

So because they spent money, it looks like it was made with money?

No. It looks low-budget, doesn't mean it is.

Hosting a viewing party at my joint on Sunday. Going to watch Dead Snow to start things off, and then launch into Walking Dead. Should be fucking awesome.

New trade comes out on Nov 23, so it is a Walking Dead filled couple of weeks

Read the graphic novel awhile back. Damned good stuff.

Managed to "preview" the first episode the other day. Strong start. They captured the drama and confusion pretty well.

Under most circumstances, I would be the same. Wouldn't normally pick watching it on the laptop over the TV. But I'll be in Vegas celebrating Halloween on Sunday, so I figured I'd give it a watch. Didn't go looking for it, though - just kinda found it so I figured why not...

DVR'd

I'm just glad to hear you thought it was good. Like I said IGN reviewed but sometimes their scores are skewered because their hype for it gets in the way.

I bet this show will be one that kind of starts off with kind of lower ratings for the first season then, hopefully, a bunch of people will starting hearing about it and catch on the end of the first season or between the first and second seasons.
