io9 has revealed the first official cast photo for AMC’s upcoming series, The Walking Dead, based on the acclaimed ongoing comic series penned by Robert Kirkman!
Any fans of the comic book series I’d imagine are pretty pleased right now as it seems AMC has nailed the look of the characters!
The Walking Dead follows the story(ies) and struggles of a group of survivors after a zombie-apocolypse. The comic series has great character stories peppered with zombie pummeling adventures and, if AMC does this right, will make for one hell of a television series. So many zombie stories stop after a group of survivors make it to some safe haven, this story takes it further and follows their survival for months beyond. If you haven’t been reading The Walking Dead series, there are more than enough collected volumes out there right now to get you started, so go hit up your local comic shop!
I am incredibly excited for this series, and this photo has pretty much given me a full-blown nerdgasm!
