I wonder if the zombie on the right of the picture - with its mouth open - is wearing some kind of thingymajig to spread the lips out like they are in the comics. I'd love to see that 'death smile' thing going on in the TV show. I'm just over half-way through Vol. 1 (I'm going for "the trade paperbacks" - the 'single story arc, six issue runs') and I'm liking it. The dialogue starts off a bit hokey/unrealistic/blunt/too explanatory at the start, but it seems to be shifting into more realistic territory now. The content is excellent, mind, and the artwork is tip-top and really imaginative when it comes to the zombies themselves. I'm just wondering something - which came first - 28 Days Later with Jim waking up in hospital after being in a coma, or Rick in TWD? In short - I'll keep reading them.

wut? i thought the comic TWD hit stands 20 yrs ago? That was a different comic from around 1989 (same title). Image's The Walking Dead started in 2003.

Awesome report. Can't wait for part 2. I wish there was some way to find out where all this stuff goes down ahead of time. Sounds like it would be easy to walk up to the set for some pics.

"For those worried that AMC is going to shackle Darabont and his collaborators the only thing I can say is that I was there for one of the earliest scenes of the series and I saw an eight year old zombie girl with her cheek chewed off, teeth showing through, get shot in the head." Fuck yeh!!!

Love this bit: "Frank came up and knelt down, shaking her hand and talking to her. Andrew Lincoln came up to speak with her as well, both men trying to put her at ease… you know, before they blow her head off."

I am properly wetting myself with excitement. As I've said before, if this series is a success, and is as good as it's sounding like it will be, I have very very high hopes that the WWZ movie will be the epic zombie film we're all wanting. Roll on October.

Too excited. This quote got me thinking - "Don’t know who else is coming in to direct, but I know the person directing the second episode hails from Canada." What are the chances that Romero helms an episode? I'm not saying it will or should happen, but with his obvious connections to the genre and Darabont's love for his work.....it's not that hard to imagine. hrmm...

And get the series some good publicity!
