Any of you gents read graphic novels?
The Walking Dead is a great, great series drawn in beautiful black and white about a group of people dealing with a world plagued by zombies. Yeah, that's righ: Zombies. Problem with that? It really is a good story of survival and human relationships. It's much less about killing monsters than it is about living in a truly unpredictable world where the real monsters might just be the humans trying to survive.
AMC optioned it for a series. It's currently in production and is set to air in October. Here's the first full cast still. Exactly as the book!
I'm really excited about this, and thought I would share!

Haven't read the graphics, but I've been following this a bit, looks cool. I'll have to pick up the books first.

the best part is that it's by Frank Darabont, whom I thought did a fantastic job with Stephen King's Shawshank Redemption and The Mist.
sadly, I don't have cable so can't watch it. at least i'll have something to look forward to when it gets released on dvd

Man that first shot is just perfect. They really casted well to match the characters.
I'm a little nervous with where the novel is heading, not sure I'm buyin' what Rick is sellin' right now.

Graphic novels at their best are great. A wonderful modern development in literature!
