[quote][img]http://imgur.com/co4Vb.png[/img][/quote] [img]http://www.collider.com/wp-content/uploads/walking_dead_amc_tv_show_slice.jpg[/img] The Walking Dead is a new show set to debut on AMC on October 31st. The show, based on the long-running comic book of the same name follows former police officer Rick Grimes as he survives in a post-apocalyptic zombie, and human populated world. If the show follows the comics as closely as it looks like it does, it's going to be the best show on TV this fall.

The trailer is pretty awesome.

In the comics, Rick fucked up big time. I love the comics, they're intense as fuck when the characters start to go on you. This looks like it'll do it justice. Besides, with Kirkman on the project from the start, there's no way this'll be anything less than great.

Are the comics the ones where the main character wakes up in a hospital after everything goes to shit? Because those were good. The fact that it's a zombie TV SERIES is great. Watched the trailer and it is. Gunna be great.

Wow, thank you for posting this. I never even heard of The Walking Dead but now I do, I've been wanting a show like this for a long ass time.

damn this looks awesome, can't wait

It looks awesome, even if some of the characters don't quite look like their illustrated counterparts. But perfection can't be expected.

Oh my god, is that Tallahassee!?

Does the guy who plays Hawkings from Jericho have a role in this? I thought that one actor looked and sounded like him but I couldn't be sure.

This looks incredible. I'm a fan of the comic books and this looks like they have really converted the original story to film perfectly.

I read the comics ages back, and just re-read them, they're fucking awesome.

My friend really likes comics, and he gave me the first issue 2 days ago, and I loved it so I got all the other ones. "In a world ruled by the dead, we are finally forced to start living." :3

Finally, a sweet zombie series.

I hope this series is about kicking zombie ass.

"From the director of the Shawshank Redemption." Holy shit, zombies are serious business.

A second season is already confirmed for this show also.

This plus the World War Z movie will mean a rebirth of good media other than the crap we see right now.

Anyone know were I can pick the comics up? I think I read the first one but cant remember where or how I got my hands on it.

Probably a local comic shop, or pretty much any online comic store I'm sure.

What happens if the show gets canceled and it doesn't reach the later issues?

[QUOTE=nayr7259;23597638]What happens if the show gets canceled and it doesn't reach the later issues?[/QUOTE] Then there's huge backlash from the possibly millions of people watching it due to loving zombies and the fact that it's actually a good series.

When and where can we watch this?

[QUOTE=Giacomand;23597956]When and where can we watch this?[/QUOTE] Comes out October of this year, and will be on AMC.

[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;23585393]Does the guy who plays Hawkings from Jericho have a role in this?

So expect him to only be in the first episode - they won't write him back in for some time.

If this stays true to the story and feel of the comicbooks, shit will be off the hook

The trailer starts how 28 days later starts.
