I'm coming at this series from a completely different angle. I got hipped to "The Walking Dead" at the Aquilonia Comic Shop in Troy, New York. This series is based on a graphic novel (ie. Adult Comic Book) series that's been going on for quite some time, 2004 to be exact.

See my review of the books in the Customer Review Section. While you folks might be able to "go along for the ride" I'm forced by habit to compare and contrast the series with the book. There are quite a few differences already. Primarily, when our hero Rick, get's to Atlanta he's not met by a group of people in a store but by one kid. There's no Nazi vs. Beaner vs. Black Thug confrontation, at least not this early, in the books, Rick and Len just beat it to the roof, jump to the next one then beat feet back to the others. The series is a LOT more populated than the book and I can only believe these extra folks are primarily "Red Shirts" lining up for the Blue Plate Special, if you get my drift.

All in all though I'm kinda enjoying TWD but I've seen and read better.
