AMC is turning the zombified The Walking Dead into a TV series and Frank Darabont might be directing, which should be awesome unless it's anything like The Mist.
In 2003, writer Robert Kirkman and artist Tony Moore created the graphic novel about a small-town Kentucky cop struggling to survive following a global epidemic causing the dead to rise from the grave.
Here's the Kansas City connection: Moore lived in Kansas City for three years, ending last September. Although Moore isn't involved with The Walking Dead anymore, hasn't been for a while -- he stopped illustrating the interior of the book with issue No. 6 but continued the cover art through issue No. 24 (his work earned him two Eisner Award nominations) -- his Web site reveals his feelings over the cable network picking up what he helped bring to life.

I love the series. I was late to the game so I've been picking up the Trade Paperbacks as they are released. I really enjoyed his art and missed it after he left. Still a great read and what I like about it is that the zombies are not the focus of the book but rather those that are still alive are the walking dead.
Can't wait for the series. It'll be nice if a series as good as this makes it to the small screen after the tries with Preacher have failed.
