The opening scene is a bit uninspired, and it looks inferior to the source material furthermore the dick is missing this cannot be a good sign.

I will watch anything AMC puts out at this point.

True, but it’s unlikely Kirkman saw it until its American release in the summer of 2003, if then.

@Wintle

Actually, they were closer to a year apart. 28 Days later was relased in the UK in the Fall of 2002 and was on the internet by Jan 2003. Walking Dead didn’t come out until the Fall of 2003.

It’s doubtful that 28 Days Later was much of an influence considering they came out within months of one another.

And Sean, Criminal is awesome. Probably my most reread comics of the past ten years.

@Paul Andrews

I didn’t watch a whole lot of British television in the early 80’s at the age of two, and since Robert Kirkman is the same age and nationality as me (and not Danny Boyle), it is probably more likely that he was homaging 28 Days Later rather than Day of the Triffids–especially considering that 28 is closer to a zombie film than is Day of the Triffids.

I will agree with you, however, that I am hoping The Walking Dead lives up to being a replacement for Lost.

Hopefully this will be my Lost replacement ove Winter – it looks great.
Credit where it’s due though; the 28 Days Later opening was an homage to ‘The Day of the Triffids’ by John Wyndham. It’s a great way to begin an apocalyptic story. If the guy sacrifices himself at the end this could be Reed’s dream drama !

I’ve been waiting for this show to come and save me from the drudgery of regular drama tv, something with some balls. You watch this thing is gonna be bigger than Andre the giants nuts.

I’m definitely looking forward to zombies getting some of the spotlight that vampires have been hogging on television.

Super-pumped for this show. Nice trailer, but it looks like it’s only covering the 1st issue of the comic and only the pilot.
