The Walking Dead

So, I started reading The Walking Dead comic series. That is some really good stuff. Sure, on the surface it seems like your standard zombie fare, but it is so much more than that. It is more about every one of the characters is so well thought out and unique. Each and every decision that they make is well thought out by the author, Robert Kirkman. Don't get attached to any of the characters, though. Each and every one of them could be killed at a moments notice. That being said, it really delivers on the zombie action. There are a ton of decapitations and gunshots, and the art is fantastic.

The Walking Dead also translated very well to the small screen. Frank Darabont, the director of such gems as The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile has done an excellent job taking the important things from the comic series, but establishing enough new content to keep it fresh for the viewers who have already read the comic series. Robert Kirkman, the author of the comic series also stepped in to write a few of the episodes. All of the actors do a stunning job as well.

As far as comics go, I'm looking forward to starting Powers. My brother keeps telling me about it and it's about time I listened. American Dad is very funny.
