This is actually a comic series, and not a Movie/TV Show, but I figured this would be the best place to put it.

Anyway, it's a comic series about a zombie apocalypse. The main focus, however, is on the survivors and how they change and adapt to the new world their living in in order to survive. It is very well written and drawn. The characters are very "real" and very human. Anyone interested in zombie survival stories should check it out. The issues are compiled into graphic novels, so you can get a good chunk of the story with just one. Definitely start in the beginning, you won't know what the hell is going on if you don't.

It's also very gory, but the drawings are in blank and white, so it's not too bad. There's also a lot of cussing and a good deal of sex, so it's probably not suitable for kids.

Anyway, anyone else heard of it or read it? If so, what did you think?

I've never heard of this, but there was a MFBP(made for black people) Viet Nam movie about 14-15 years ago with the same title.

This "The Walking Dead" comic you speak of sounds way better IMO.

Yeah, but I don't mind. Don't want it getting stale. And it could either be setting up some kind of end to the series, or just another giant cluster frick for our protagonist.

Yeah, when reading it I kept thinking to myself "Damn, this would make a badass hbo show." It would absolutely have to be on hbo or showtime because of the violence, language, and sex, but if done right could be fantastic.
