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 show has been stunningly well-acted, and I have become an instant fan of Andrew Lincoln's work now. I remember seeing him in other things, but I feel he hasn't been allowed to shine until now. There is a fine balance between the character of Rick Grimes between strength and vulnerability. I can see the pain on Lincoln's face as he channels the character's heartache. Sarah Wayne Callies also gives a good performance as Lori Grimes, Rick's wife. To be honest, there's not a bad acting job coming from the entire cast.
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!
With the third season just about to start with an absolutely amazing premier, I can only say that I am getting more and more excited. The story seems to be even richer this season now that we've started really caring for the characters. I'm not here to spoil anything, but you absolutely have to watch this show! It is turning out to be one of the best shows on television, and the epic scale of it cannot be matched in any other show. I am getting ready to watch the new season starter with all of the excitement of a kid at Christmas and all the anxiety of that same kid in the dentist waiting room...and you can bet your socks that I was wearing my season one zombie t-shirts while I do it.
