Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" is not only one of the best-selling independent titles in comics, but it's on the cusp of being a TV series on AMC.  Darabont is set "to write and direct a series adaptation" according to Variety.  Kirkman descibes his book as a "Romero zombie film that never ends."  More accurately, the zombie world-clearing event is mainly an excuse to examine how people survive.  The title actually has a double meaning.  Does it refer to the zombies or the living?

Damn you! I wanted to make The Walking Dead thread.

This is exciting news. The Walking Dead is the best zombie story I've ever encountered and with the likes of Shaun of the Dead and Romero's films (Diary aside, that movie sucked) that's saying a lot. Hopefully it lives up to the comics greatness.
My ever growing collection.

No way.  I have the entire series in single issue form.  I had to be the one.    I'd never sell it, but if this show comes to pass, it looks like the value will be going up.
