Although it's not startling or revealing, there's an interesting video at Blastr

( and it's behind the cut too. )

Just as Blastr recommends

( you could watch Misery Bear - Dawn of the Ted! )

This series clearly sets itself no boundaries of any kind - the power of some of the events in this volume is shocking. Some of the events are so dark that I almost guarantee that, if the TV series follows roughly the same storylines, there is no way on earth that it can be shown on TV.

As always, I finish with the recommendation that you will not be disappointed by this book - powerful, dark and moving writing.

On an impulse, I dived into Cosmic Comics during my lunch hour today and grabbed both of these books. Guess it's going to be another zombie-themed weekend!

Just finished reading this - and it keeps to the very high standard of the first two. The (avoiding spoilers by euphemism here) "interactions" between Michonne and the Governor and then between the Governor and Michonne are almost too intense to bear - so very well done without lapsing into cliche.

Not only did AMC just confirm that TWD is getting a second season (not that there was much doubt of that with the ratings being so good) but they also confirmed that it will be for 13 episodes. Now that is good news!

I've yet to see a bad review for the episode - two typical examples of what I'm seeing are Arrow in the Head (sample: ..... "The Walking Dead" is treated with sincerity ... it doesn't pander to any sort of pop-culture bulls*it, there's no sad attempt at irony or any kind of snarky sarcasm ... there's no artificial sense of trying to be cool or hip ... the type you generally see on TV. No, this plays more like a 70-ish minute feature film ... the size and scope, the lavish production, Darabont's deliberate camera work ... all of it drive toward something truly special) and CraveOnline (sample: Regardless, the series premiere of "The Walking Dead" was incredibly strong and also among the best this fall. If the rest of the series is this good, then the dead are going to walk the Earth for several seasons.)

I really hope the series does well and we get at least a couple of seasons out of this!

ETA: another positive review at RabidDoll.

Just finished reading the final quarter of The Walking Dead Book Two HC - that final line is just stunning! It turns the entire series-to-date on its head. Genius!

Total SciFi has news that the comic series will be converted into a trilogy of novels. All good and well (and I'll probably buy them) but all of this relies on the TV series doing well - I guess we'll know the answer to do that about 10:05pm on 31st October!

According to Spinoff Online, it looks very likely that The Walking Dead S2 has already been approved, and indeed, may extend to 13 episodes - and all of this before S1 even airs!
