Nerd Alert! #1 - Why Walking Dead is an amazing comic and soon to be TV series..

So on Halloween Night at 10pm if you're not drunk out of your mind at a costume party or haven't left to said party, then put on AMC (or check ondemand later if you have to) to watch what's soon to be or should be one of the best TV series ever. This show is called The Walking Dead. The brain children behind this show is Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) and Charles H. Eglee (The Shield, Dexter) so that's one reason I'm hyping up this show. The main reason I'm hyping up this show is mainly because the graphic novel is one of the best around. The series takes a basic story that we all know and love, the zombie story, and make it a compelling and character driven story to the point where the zombies are just set pieces that you soon start to forget about as the story progresses. The transformation of all the main cast, especially Rick Grimes, is incredible. All the struggles that the cast go through are, for me, never really shown in typical zombie movies. Also all the moral dilemmas that each character is put through in this new world of zombies slowly starts to make the cast more harden sometimes barbaric in situations. The main thing that will make this an amazing series is the amount of drama, and to be blunt, the holy shit moments that happen in this comic series. There are so many holy shit moments in this series (and I'm currently 3 paperbacks behind which is killing me) that I'm worried that they won't be able to show it on AMC. HBO most definitely, but probably not AMC, which I'm really intrigued how they will pull off some of these scenes. Especially all the things that happen during the course of the cast dealing with The Governor. Which brings to another reason why this will be a amazing series, every week you will literally not know what happens next. Cast members are not safe and they will lose limbs, get infected, and die. Leading to more people coming in. In the series I'm pretty sure the main cast has changed 3 or 4 times. Anyway I'm rambling now, but do yourself a favor and be somebody and watch The Walking Dead on Oct. 31st.
