This... looks... so awesome...

I haven't read the graphic novels yet but I may give them a whirl. Anyway, anybody who has watched either Breaking Bad or Mad Men knows just how good AMC shows can be...

Breaking Bad is awesome. I'll definately have a look.



Tease.

Not my kind of think but looks interesting.



Wish they't bring the graphic novels to PSP comics.

Looks really excellent.

The first trade or two are pretty good.  Standard zombie stuff which ain't bad.

Never continued it though cause comics were expensive and i was just borrowing em.

AMC's been on a run lateely.  Even Rubicon didn't seemt that bad the episode i saw.

Reminds me of when shows changed HBO's tv policy to "there must be boob in each episode" to being known for having better tv then the networks.

Im on book 7 and its really well written. I am curious how it will translate to a drama. Everyone should watch.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

It looks good but a tad unoriginal. The premiss is nearly exactly the same as 28 Days Later and the overall plot is like very other zombie movies.

I'm sure it's going to be a great TV show nonetheless.

Only the waking up after the virus part is similar to 28 Days Later, the rest is completely different. Also these are zombies not people that are really angry( rage virus). I think the thing that makes it interesting is that zombie movies have been done to death but once they are over they just end. The idea of a long running (hopefully) tv show that doesnt leave ya hanging sounds awesome. I doubt the show will be at least half as good as the books but at least they went out and got a known director.

Cool, Egg from This Life is the lead too :o

Will definitely watch this, looks like 28 Days Later but not quite as good, which is still great xD


Actually its nothing like 28 days later. Theres not really many zombies in the book, its more of a show of how the zombie apocolypse changes the way humanity acts. People die, main characters die but not always at the hands of zombies. Theres literally 6 comic stretches where theres almost no zimbies at any point. Id still reccomend watching it, but its nothing like any zombie movie you have ever watched.

It's not like there is that much you can do with a zombie apocolypse setting.

I mean that's the point... it's a zombie apocolypse.

The only stories you are really going to have is.

 

A) Traveling to a place you think is safe.

B) Running low on supplies.

C) Looking for loved ones.

D) Suriving... and/or building a community.

I mean, sure you can throw in stuff like other survivors, human bandits, crazy towns that look normal... (which i'm sure will be present later on)...

it's just an apocolypse though.

Actually though, the comics tend to mostly focus on D, after then run through A,B and C early just to set up the world.
