Today I bring you the Walking Dead!
The Walking Dead, written by Robert Kirkman, is a story of one man's struggle to protect his family in a post apocalyptic, zombie wasteland. For some, that description alone would be enough reason to read any comic book, but for me there is so much more. The story is very character driven, and the characters are written phenomenally. However you should be warned that Kirkman, will not hesitate to mangle and/or kill every one of your favorite characters as if they were yesterday's garbage. I keep promising myself that I won't be shocked the next time he kills someone, but he manages to get the best of me over and over again.
I can't tell you much about the television show, as I have only seen the first episode, but I can tell you that the zombies are way scarier on television than they are in the comics. Check out the Walking Dead Page on AMC's website for some really cool behind the scenes videos on the making of the show.
This tv series is definitely a fav. Only six episodes on first season but I really thought they did well.
