I'm not going to tolerate being labeled a "hipster" here, but it's totally true when I say that I have been into zombies since way before they were cool. In fact, I was into Romero zombies when it was getting me made fun of in school. That's alright, because I'm still a zombie shirts-wearing freak to this day. Now that the new season of "The Walking Dead" is about to start, I see that there are tons of fans out there who are storming the gates in excitement for zombies. I couldn't be happier, to be honest. "The Walking Dead" deserves each and every squeal of excitement it gets.
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.
The acting crew behind this show has done an outstanding job so far. Andrew Lincoln heads a stellar cast in the role of Rick Grimes, a police officer who has woken up from a coma in the worst possible scenario you can imagine: a world of zombies. He does a wonderful job as Rick, who's signature fault is taking on the responsibility of leading and caring for a large group of survivors. You can see each death striking him as a deeply-felt wound. The boy who plays his son, Carl, is a young man by the name of Chandler Riggs and is doing a magnificent job dealing with very hard issues for someone so young. I love these characters so much.
Robert Kirkman wrote an astounding storyline that has arced almost a hundred issues and has gone extremely deep into the survival efforts of Rick and his family. Of remarkable note is that the television show has deviated quite sharply from the story in the comic. Some people hate this, but not I. I love that I'm getting surprised again. That was part of the charm of the comic is that such terrible, shocking things were constantly happening. I get to go on a similar journey that I began a few years ago, but with new twists and turns!
The third season is just about to begin on the AMC channel, and I can't say enough good things about it. The survivors are looking for a place to settle down and the writers have thrown down the gauntlet by making the final episode of season two tense and anxiety-inspiring. I hope they live up to the opening scene from season two, where Rick Grimes speaks to no-one-in-particular while baring his soul. The scene is so powerful, that I literally got goose bumps. I have to confess that I am extremely excited.
