Fartcat Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 The actors they have got seem perfect for the role. The dude playing Shane looks dead on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayoroftelevision Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 a while back when this show got confirmed i thought i saw frank darabont say it won't follow the books' story lines so everyone wouldn't know what's happening next. i actually don't know if that's still going to be the case. and as refreshing as an idea as it is, i hope they at least do a few major points of the books. i want to mention a huge place in it that took place for a lot of issues that was the best plot of the entire series, but don't want to give anything away for anyone who hasn't read it yet.

If they did include "the incident", it probably wouldn't take place for a few seasons, but boy would that be awesome (in a dramatic sense).

flood Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 spoiler alert... i'm actually amused at how liberally the series borrowed from other pieces of zombie lore.... the intro of waking up in the hospital is straight out of 28 Days Later, the whole prison sequence is very reminscent of the mall from Dawn of the Dead.... and i don't know the actual time line on who copped who.... but the whole city with the public death sports is very similar to the city from Land of the Dead....

Fartcat Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I read that they aren't going to be following the plot of the comic exactly how it happened. I'm ok with that because it will mean that there will be some surprises the readers may not be expecting. I think "the incident" should still be included because everytime I read it I still can't believe it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jurrobear Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 i'm actually amused at how liberally the series borrowed from other pieces of zombie lore.... the intro of waking up in the hospital is straight out of 28 Days Later, the whole prison sequence is very reminscent of the mall from Dawn of the Dead.... and i don't know the actual time line on who copped who.... but the whole city with the public death sports is very similar to the city from Land of the Dead.... The first issue was actually written a whole six months before anything related to 28 Days Later was released. Also I dont see the similarities between the prison and the mall. The mall in 'Dawn Of The Dead' was a reference to consumerism and "How the public views the mall as a safe haven". While the vibe between the survivors in Walking Dead about the prison is complete fear. Also the public death sport is more in vein to the gladiator fights in Rome. There are nods to zombie films throughout the series but I don't think its busting a Tarantino with the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aviolentworld Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 never really was a comic book fan but all this talk makes me want to buy the series. how does the series work? is it 3 books for the whole thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorbike Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 never really was a comic book fan but all this talk makes me want to buy the series.how does the series work? is it 3 books for the whole thing? a trade paperback for every six issues or fancy hardbacks for every twelve. i used to have the single issues but cashed them in and have hardbacks, five have been released so far. there are around 70-75 issues now i think.

steventangent Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 darnyeller was about as negative as they come. If you could see his posts, 9/10 of them were him being shitty about something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtz Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 i have an extra copy of the first collection of this if anyones interested in buying it $10ppd. That's the cover price. It can be bought new in pretty much any bookstore or comic shop for that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartcat Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I'm holding out until I have the money and buying the hardcovers, and eventually when I have a job the Omnibus'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
