As you’d expect from a series as slow as The Walking Dead, this week is mostly devoted to the aftermath of last week’s sudden zombie attack. The survivors pick up the pieces, and many cast members are dead. Of course, I wasn’t as in love with last week’s episode as I had been with previous ones, … [Read more...]
Etsy Finds: Mmmmm Brains
This Etsy Finds is inspired, unsurprisingly, by The Walking Dead.

Based on the popular Image Comics series by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard, it’s a classic zombie apocalypse chronicle. And with showrunning by Frank Darabont (him of … [Read more...]
Why you shouldn’t watch The Walking Dead
Next week the television adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s epic zombie comic series, The Walking Dead, hits our screens courtesy of FX (via AMC). You probably knew that already.
