The trailer they showed at the panel (and later the show floor) was one of my favorite things to come out of Comicon this year. There are crappy bootlegs floating around but I'm hoping AMC will make it available for everyone. The AMC website has some clips from the panel online now. http://www.amctv.com/originals/The-Walking-Dead/ They've really assembled a dream team that has a lot of respect for the material. Greg Nicotero's team on makeup, Bear McCreary on music, and a lot of my favorite directors have me super excited for the show.
I love the comic and I'm a huge Darabont fan.... Can't wait for this. Generally I wait for seasons to end and get them on DVD since I don't have cable.... but I might end up downloading these week by week.

Re: The Walking Dead television series!!!! (trailer added) amazing!! can't wait for this series to come out. times like this makes me glad I have a dvr!!
Re: The Walking Dead television series!!!! (trailer added) Damn that looks good. I know I will be watching.
I'm surprised (and thrilled) they are gonna air this the same time as you in the us. Usually we get series a year behind. This looks so great!!
http://www.megavideo.com/?d=LYSLCUJA woot. I own most issues of the comic series and the accuracy of the adaptation has me pretty excited.
my friend at nycc went to the panel with darabont, kirkman and cast. they showed some of episode 2 and it was reportedly jaw dropping stuff. they also intend to make breaking bad "look like pussies." hoping i have access to a television by the premiere.
Oh my 17 minute feature on the show on the amc series blog: http://www.amctv.com/originals/The-Walk ... 8200502001 looks pretty amazing!
I went to the nycc panel, it was pretty cool. I cannot wait for this show. Just watching the clips they had made it worth standing in line for 40 mins.
Saw the pilot, fucking amazing classic zombie shit. If i was an exec at amc i woulda green lit a second season based on the quality of the pilot alone. Edge of my seat, as good as any of the classics of the genre...and i love me my zombies.
Never had the pleasure of reading the comic (intend to change that), but this looks very very promising!
seen it as well, it's a pretty phenomenal pilot. i would recommend tuning in after whatever halloween things you guys going on. i regret not having a tv for something of this quality.
I have the first few trades if you wanna run through em. I might have 1-7 or 8 after that I was caught up and was buying each comic as they came out.
I read it steady for a few years but fell off. Now I'm so lost that I'd have to restart from the begining to pick up again, but that's fine, awesome book. The show was great, I just wish I didn't have to wait to see the next episode argh!!1!!!internetgenerationproblemz!!!!
I just got the Volume 6 hard cover, which covers up to issue #72 I believe. Highly recommend the hard covers. So what did everyone think of the premiere? I just finished watching it on project free t.v. (surprised they had it up so fast). Pretty good stuff especially the scenes with Morgan and his *dead* wife.
We made it into a family night event. Went over to my cousin's pad, had awesome ribs and watched the show in the dark. LOL You could hear a pin drop as we watched the episode. I asked my cousin's husband who has the hardcover books if there was any difference and he said yes they added a couple of things which I wont mention to not spoil story line but he was pleased with how the episode ran. Since I cannot wait for the next episode, I borrowed book 1 and 2. XD For someone who has not read the comic books, I really enjoyed the episode. Now I want a fuller experience so I'll be reading the books voraciously until I catch up. ~Maddie
