    for people hoping for a change from kirkman's comics

    the plot is essentially the same

    but the characters are written a bit better

    for example, Rick is way more believable as a southern cop


    also the cinematography is killer

    I hope they bring Lenny James back as a series regular - he might be the best part of a really great first episode.

    My radio station did a zombie walk Friday night, and one of the local comic/record stores came and handed out promotional copies of the first comic. Would reading it before the show tonight be beneficial in any way?

    not really? You might ruin some of the surprises I guess.

    I really think they got the characters transitioned pretty good from the comic, even the outfits are fairly similar.

    I should probably reread what I have of the series, then go order the other 3 trades I need.

    What is it with a bunch of zombie stories starting with a dude waking from a coma. I mean I know that The Walking Dead was like the first to do it but still.

    I only read like the first issue in my Sci-fi class in High School, but so far the premier seems to be very similar.

    It's an easy way to get to the zombie apocalypse without actually having to show the apocalypse itself.


    Plus if our protagonist is waking up into a world that he has no foreknowledge of, then the audience gets to be introduced to it along with him. It's convenient when the main character has a legit excuse to ask everyone to spew exposition.

    If they are following the comic as closely as I've heard, it won't happen.

    edit: Yeah that makes sense. A perfect way for the the main character to learn along with the audience.

    It's what...6 episodes per season with this? It might end with them finding it. I'd say maybe the end of Season 2 or maybe Season 3 would have that.

    Meh, they've said that they plan to deviate - and even if they do stick strictly to the comic, they'd catch up to that character again eventually. They can pick him up in season 2 around the same time they pick up Tyrese and Michonne, then end season 2 with the discovery of the prison.
