First Look at AMC's The Walking Dead Zombies as Production Begins

[Thorn]

man, i swear people don't even bother reading older posts. i've posted about the zombie school thing twice as well as the discussion of tv show/comic book storylines...in this very thread. Hey that's cool and all but... Have you seen the Zombie School video on AMC's site? It seems pretty clear that they're training them to be shamblers. The video even shows the FX guy using a clip of Hinzman in Night '68 as a model of zombie behavior.

in all fairness Shaun was @ least closer 2 GARS formula than most of the shit thats been comin' out! KUDOS 2 Shaun! Here! Here! Hey that's cool and all but...

Got Volume 1 of The Walking Dead today ... gonna get into it soon ... and while I don't generally read comics or graphic novels, I do dabble from time-to-time, and it certainly looks kick ass, and it feels satisfying to hold as well - if that makes sense. Or am I sounding weird?

MZ, I guarantee you will love it. I was hooked after Issue #1, now I don't buy individual issues anymore since 13, but I get the novels when they come out. The Walking Dead is very much in vein of the early Romero work we all know and love. Probably one of the best horror comics out there.

I'll refer you back to my post that he answered where i said "a good, SERIOUS zombie film." Ah, touche. I wouldn't call Shaun serious either. It definitely had its unsettling and creepier moments, and arguably one of the best (if not the best) depictions of the initial stages of the outbreak.

The first issue is 60 bucks. That is a shit ton of money for a book.

So... Review? it's been out for years and has critical acclaim dude, the tv adaption should be a clue if its good or not. spoiler - it is very good. -- -------- Post added at 02:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ---------- The first issue is 60 bucks. That is a shit ton of money for a book. i would imagine thats because it hasnt got a lot of reprintings. from issue 1 to the current, which i think is 60 or 70 something- i dont check numbers, ive got first printings of them all except for like 26-28. i got a bunch of the early ones bulk on ebay for like £22, total bargain.

There are more than 20 issues of those big ass books?!?

It definitely had its unsettling and creepier moments, and arguably one of the best (if not the best) depictions of the initial stages of the outbreak. Oh there's no doubt that it's a very good film but it's a "zomedie" which is all that seems to gross well nowdays that also feature the classic shamblers.

The first issue is 60 bucks. That is a shit ton of money for a book. You'd be lucky buying for 60. Most people wouldn't part with it for under 100. I've been reading since the first issue....and when I feel poor I often think of selling mine!

[acealive1]

i dont see the big whine here about shamblers and runners. shamblers should be people that have been dead a few days or weeks. runners would be people that JUST died

[MikePizzoff]

There are more than 20 issues of those big ass books?!? No. It's a comic book and they're currently at issue #73. I'm unsure of which big-ass-books you speak of but there are several different ones: -There's a ridiculously large book that contains the first 48 issues. -Then there are 5 volumes of hardcovers, each of which contain 12 issues. -Finally, there are a bunch of smaller paperbacks, that are still close to 150 pages each, and each one contains 6 issues. These are known as "trades" or can (to some) be considered "graphic novels". Class dismissed.
