Awesomely done video G-Man!! I'm really happy with all of the Walking Dead love I've been seeing lately.
I think that you should point out that the Walking Dead isn't really like other zombie stories in that the zombies mostly play a background role and that the story mostly focuses on the survivors and how they're dealing with the outbreak and how they've had to change in order to survive
anyone who's not reading this because they claim that they aren't a fan of zombies should really give this book a try...there are times where several issues will go by without even seeing a zombie...but while you may not see them you always know that they're there and that at some point things are going to go to hell for the characters
I can't say how much I love this series enough...it truly is my all time favorite book and I can't wait to read each new issue each month....I'm an owner of all of the issues and the hardcovers but I'm still thinking of getting the reprints of the series that were announced today
The Walking Dead is a deeply human, tragedy, and character driven drama. It is not the sort of cold detached clinical documentary approach of "World War Z" or the tongue in cheek of "Zombie Survival Guide"... it definitely isn't "Shaun of the Dead" or "Zombieland". As a world of lies is to Made Men, a world without civilization is to Walking Dead... there are no holds barred.
If you can't stand Bambi's mom getting shot and the bleakness of Mad Men drives you to drink or suicidal thoughts, Walking Dead probably isn't for you.
If you appreciate the suffocating isolation and morbid savagery of humankind stripped of civilization in a post-apocalyptic setting, Walking Dead delivers.
If you're unsure, give it a shot, the execution seems to be top notch.
" Okay, now I gotta read this thing AND watch it. When does it start on AMC? "
Premiers on AMC Halloween night 10/9c Supposedly the TV show will have some substantial divergence from the book in places so reading it should not completely spoil the show
LOL Just couldn't wait for tomorrow to post this, huh? The opening looks great. The editing blends you well in with the background. In fact, this whole thing had superb editing. I loved the panel transitions.
As I said in Babs article about about "Zombie Jesus", I would rather have zombies over emo-sparkling vampires.
I'd relate to Rick easily enough. We are both from Kentucky. =D
@JoeyF: Once again I salute your video editing skills man! You never cease to amaze me! :D Kudos! @G-Man: Thanks for this! I am actually buying the first volume next week so this helps me so I can watch the first episode this weekend!
You said be sure to check for more Walking Dead updates in the future... but after that ending I doubt the credibility of that statement!
The walking dead is the only comic I've ever read as a series, and not at random. I started two days ago and now I've read every issue. It's morbid, dark, gritty, realistic and a darn good story.
@queenfrost_: It is and it isn't a 3-Minute Expert. It's not in that it doesn't tell you everything about the characters. This was something Joey and debated over (along with Norm). We felt having it closer to the Scott Pilgrim 3-Minute Expert would be better so it wouldn't give away all the spoilers. I didn't think calling it #-Minute Expert was fitting but it will be in the 3-Minute Expert tab on the video page.
I don't ever watch or read any type of horror/vampire/zombie things, I think it is a waste of time. But this was presented in such a fashion that I was intrigued. Of coarse I did not watch this with my children around, but I need to tip my hat to AMC but to you, Tony, for this review. I watched the first one and it was great. Unfortunately I live in Japan, so I can not get the books, otherwise I would.............Great job!!!
