The Walking Dead

Have you been enjoying the first season of AMC’s zombie apocalypse drama The Walking Dead?  If you haven’t already seen it, I highly recommend it, even if you aren’t into zombies.  The reason why it’s such a great show:  the scripts and visuals rely heavily on the graphic novel series upon which the show is based.  Check out The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman.
