Review Of "The Walking Dead" By A Guy Who Loves Zombies

By Vincent Thatcher


With much anticipation, I have finally seen the culmination of awesome writing and fan outcry in the form of "The Walking Dead." I am such a huge fan of the genre that I have been collecting and wearing all things "zombie" for years. All of my friends would look at me funny every time I started going crazy over "The Walking Dead" comic that is written by Robert Kirkman. They, of course, had no idea what I was talking about and they had no clue that comics could be for adults too. Now that "the Walking dead" is an acclaimed television show, everyone can join in on my fanatical dedication to this awesome story.

The comic book was originally created by a master wordsmith by the name of Robert Kirkman. His talents are so good, that he's actually responsible for bringing the Image publishing company back from the brink of death with his contributions. It's somewhat funny that it took the undead to breathe life back into Image. When working on the show, Kirkman has remained fully involved in the creation process. He's joined by Frank Darabont of "The Shawshank Redemption" acclaim, who is known for creating film full of very deep characters. One of my favorite zombie tees features these two awesome individuals drawn as zombies.

Another thing that adds to the incredible depth of the characters is the superb acting by the cast. The characters can be as richly written and directed as you like, but it takes skill and charisma as an actor to flesh those words out into a three-dimensional being. Andrew Lincoln brings the character of Rick Grimes into stark reality. His emotions are fully bare as he stoically leads a group of survivors across a wasted landscape, taking the responsibility of many people's lives all upon his own weary shoulders. Jon Bernthal also gives a noted performance as Rick's sketchy best friend, Shane.

What was most exciting for me, is that the show has completely changed many things from the television show. They have added lots of new characters, I suspect so that they can raise the mortality rate...despite the fact that Kirkman has repeatedly made it apparent that no one is safe in the comic. Many purists will be mad about how much the show and the comic are different, but I don't count myself amongst those ranks. I like the fact that this story is a bit changed, because there are going to be shocks for me down the road that I haven't been expecting.

With the third season just about to start with an absolutely amazing premier, I can only say that I am getting more and more excited. The story seems to be even richer this season now that we've started really caring for the characters. I'm not here to spoil anything, but you absolutely have to watch this show! It is turning out to be one of the best shows on television, and the epic scale of it cannot be matched in any other show. I am getting ready to watch the new season starter with all of the excitement of a kid at Christmas and all the anxiety of that same kid in the dentist waiting room...and you can bet your socks that I was wearing my season one zombie t-shirts while I do it.
