    Wasn't sure where else to ask, but do we know how far into the comics the first season of Walking Dead will go?

    Are they gonna go fairly hard in case of no second season? or the reverse in hopes of further seasons?
    ( or hopefully a nice middle ground)

    Been rereading my trades, and I 'm mostly just dying of anticipation.

    There are apparently only 6 episodes so they wopn't get far, just enough to create a suitable cliffhanger.

    Oh god....god no....

    I wanted them to get Jeph Loeb out of the comic writing business, but this...this is almost worse. Wait, it is worse! Now Jeph Loeb can assault more of my senses...

    But he was so successful with Heroes!

    Alternatively, he did write Commando and Teen Wolf.

    And the whole "he was fired from Heroes for sucking"

    Well, he wasn't the only writer there, and they sure as hell didn't pull their weight!

    Of course. But Marvel TV is supposed to be free, damnit!

    If Marvel is going to develop TV properties for me to watch, it better not be featuring the god damn Rulk. And it'd be nice if it was actually, you know, good...

    Why guilt? They didn't do anything to his son.

    I'll tell you why he does well, because for some reason large amounts of people buy his books.

    So long as he isn't too hands-on with the creative side, it'll be alright. Sure he's a crap writer, but it's not like that's even important for his new job. Meanwhile, I'm sure his experience in other areas qualify him for the role.

    Comic books are like Hollywood, you fail upwards. Explains why Greg Land is still employed despite everybody in the universe knows he should be paying the porn industry royalties. Also explains why dudes like Greg Pak and Dan Abnett don't run the company.

    Yeah, if he isn't actually writing everything then thigns could still be cool. I wonder what Marvel have planned for TV, maybe a live-action show at some point? I know there's some animated Avengers coming soon, which looks fun.

    Loeb's proven he can still write good books with Ultimate X, let's hope he puts that same ammount of effort into this new venture.

    They made an Indiana Jones with the original writers, it didnt turn out so well.

    Times are different any any sequel would more than likely be incredibly sanitised and dull.

    Plus he can't be framed twice. Thats silly.

    1988 qualifies as "a different time" now? Last I checked, the late '80s weren't regarded as some kind of free-wheeling era where anything was acceptable either.

    A more recent example, I'm watching Kindergarten Cop which is 1990 I believe. Its obviously a family comedy,it was rated 12 in the UK and PG-13 in the US, but it has people dealing bags of a suspicious white substance quite clearly on screen and gun fights. They wouldn't make a film aimed at family in this age rating with these elements because it wouldn't fly anymore. Most people wouldn't care but psycho-parents and press would focus on and blow up the child-abuse sub-plot, the on-screen bags of coke ad I think there are gun battles to the death as well.

    EDIT: ANd now theres a corpse.

    EDIT: And a father holding his boy at gunpoint. Then his gunshot death, then the grandmas baseball bat beatdown and two gunshot wounds to the hero.

    God I miss the 80s and 90s

    Wait, they haven't even started filming Captain America and it comes out six weeks after Thor (Which is in post production.)

    I guess there's less outlandish special effects needed in post, but still...

    Hmm.. Looking at wikipedia, it says they started filming today.
