So, I just got the newest few issues of The Walking Dead, and issue 75 has a full set of large cast pictures from the show. They look fucking perfect. Everyone looks so right.

Also, website is up with some cool videos and such.

Haha, this is so awesome. I remember when I first started reading The Walking Dead and thinking that it would make a perfect zombie TV series and lo and behold only a year later! I'm surprised at how much I'm looking forward to this, with every new film or TV series that I latch onto, I try to maintain a level of "oh, this isn't going to be as good as I think it will be", I did this with AVP:R and Predators, in which case I was blown away by the latter and didn't really think anything about Requiem, because I was ready for a let down. But with this, the creators are making it damn hard, everything looks perfect.

Is it just me or is that trailer just giving a total 28 days later vibe? It's like he cut and pasted the entire hospital scene.

Don't even compare this to 28 Day/Weeks. Despite the beginning being similar, TWD is a whole different monster (as well as better written and thought out as well). Infact the only thing the two stories have in common are that hospital scene.

So to answer your question, no it isn't just you, everyone makes that comparison at first, and they have since the comic started in 2004. Infact the first letter in the first issue's editorial points this out, at which point Kirkman (the author) basically states what I said above, and you know what? He was right.

TWD is the greatest zombie/outbreak story told since the original 3 Romero films over 25 years ago.

Once you get past that little "omg iz 28 dayz l8r, lulz" moment, you get sucked in and can't stop reading until your covered in blood and guts and tears and sweat. Go out and buy the books, they are so much more then just another comic, ask anyone who has read it.

Only really the first issue is comparable to "28 days Later" though. As kal said that first scene was inspired by the movie, if you check the comics out you'll see there's really not much else comparable.

You guys think some scenarios might be cut out for the sake of tv? Like the thing with Rick's hand? I don't see how else they'll keep it in there.

We'll have to see man, Think we wont have to worry about that till season 2 or 3 though, the scene with the mayor though might have to be toned down.

This show is gonna be awesome.

AMC already have 2 of the best shows on TV with Mad Men and Breaking Bad. I'm going to watch Rubicon soon to see if that compares to either of them.

But yeah i'm hyped for this.

I read the whole joint, Kirkman said he has no end for the comic planned, you guys think the series will be the same? Follow the storyline or do it's own thing while just borrowing elements of the comic. I love the fact that Nobody is safe in the comic no one is a superman :D .

Well Darabont said that he is going to stick to the comics but expand on stories we didn't really see much of (My guess is Morgan and Duane).

I just got done watching the pilot.

It was fucking genius. Everything was perfect. EVERYTHING. Even the few parts they added in. I cannot stress how awesome that was. Im going to watch it again premier night too!

They nailed the characters, the story, the effects where beyond anything that's been in recent horror or zombie films, I honestly couldn't ask for anything more.
