• AMC is gonna be shocked at how many people don’t turn out for this garbage fest.

  Darabont needs to stop suckling on the horror-tit, he’s not very good at it.

  • Have you read the comic? It’s amazing. I am very excited for the series and fully expect it to be a huge hit.

      • Hey, Abe!
        Something tells me you’re in the sad minority here.
        You can go back to watching Dancing With the Stars now.
        The rest of us will be enjoying some quality TV.
        Douche.

        • Thankfully Darabont said he’s steering the series away from the graphic novels.

  • Darabont is a good director. Every director has had their bad movies. But Darabont looks to be the perfect director to take a unique story to the small screen.

• In a world where Hollywood is buying up every comic they can find, regardless of quality. The Walking Dead is the real deal. I can’t wait to see what AMC has done with it and how audiences respond to well-executed intelligent horror.

• so Abe…what’s it like to be wrong? There are plenty of people that are going to tune in and realize this isn’t just “horror”….sure there are zombies,but the story itself is about what happens to people when faced with no clear future…the things we are capable of and the depths we will sink to in order to just survive

  it’s that kind of ignorance, people who think just because something is a comic book automatically means it has ZERO value, is what is handcuffing the entertainment industry

  no one is going to tease you or make fun of you if you pick up an issue of The Walking Dead and actually give it a read

  Ill even let you borrow mine

• I think you will be shocked at how wrong you are. I believe this will turn out to be AMC’s highest rated series.

• It’s the only new series that I have been looking forward to. It’s about time they did a zombie television series. And AMC hasn’t let me down yet.

• Wow! Why the hatred for Walking Dead? I’m gonna go out on a very short limb and say you are in the very small minority on this one. From where I am standing the interwebs have been abuzz about the comic and the upcoming show.on AMC for.quite some time now. We are still very mich in the eye of the zombie hurricane.

• Friend, you should not have comment at all if you know nothing about “The Walking Dead”. Your negativity towards an on going bestselling series and the people who admire Robert Kirkman is inappropriate.

  We the fans are excited to see this beloved comic come to life; so that people out there can also educate themselves in the possibility of a disaster. What is horrific is not that there are zombies, but the people who react to disaster events in the most uncivilized way. Zombies is just a word used as a metaphor for plagues like the swine flu, small pox, or even code red; things that we already see in the news.

  I’m glad that AMC is involved in making this into a show, because so much would be left out if another studio tried to make it into a movie.

  You’ll probably never give the show or the comic a chance because you feel that there’s too much hype. But just know, it’s worth all the hype and more.

• The series looks promising. Apart from The Majestic I don’t think Darabont’s stumbled. The man’s a damn good storyteller (Spielberg and Lucas should have run with his screenplay for Indy 4) Hell, even his cameo in Carpenter’s Vampires was pretty cool.
