As you know if you've read my wee bio on my blog, I'm a big zombie fan. I love zombie books and movie, songs that mention zombies, pretty much anything zombie related. I like to think that if there was a zombie apocalypse, that I would manage to survive, but I'd prefer it if the zombies in question were the slow moving, motor skill stunted kind, and not the super fast Zack Snyder's remake of Dawn of the Dead kind (if that were the case we'd all be pretty much fucked).
That being said, I was really into the Walking Dead series of graphic novels, but then I sort of fell off the ball. Last week I picked up books 9 and 10, and I think before work today I'm going to stop and get book 11, then I'll be totally caught up for when the new book comes out in June. These books are AWESOME! They're definitely worth reading, but you have to be able to stomach the zombie goodness, 'cause they're pretty graphic.
The books are great because they deal with the problem of the undead, but they also deal with the mental breakdowns that each of the characters deal with as they try to adapt to a world without any kind of order, and the best part is that as you read through the series it becomes more and more evident that no one is safe.
There's been talks for quite a while now about a Waking Dead tv series, and I always contended that the only way that they'd be able to pull it off would be through HBO, or possibly Showtime...but it turns out that it's going to be an AMC original series. AMC did prove that their worth to me with Breaking Bad, which is a great series, so I have hope...but I'm not sold just yet. Time will tell.
