Christopher Walken Invades The Walking Dead

The artist known as Doctor Popular has given us our biggest smile of the week with his very funny series of art entitled "The Walken Dead."  He re imagines the world of Robert Kirkman and AMC's The Walking Dead series, except with super actor Christopher Walken playing a zombie. 

It's witty, funny and a more than a little bit scary.  Christopher Walken is already a little creepy, but a zombie Christopher Walken carrying a cowbell around with him, well that's just terrifying.

AMC's THE WALKING DEAD Zombie Invasion has Begun!

At about 7:00 this morning, a pack of undead individuals began staggering around various cities of the world as part of AMC's worldwide publicity stunt for "The Walking Dead," its new original series premiering Oct. 31 at 10 p.m.

The cable network is staging "zombie attacks" in 26 major cities -- hundreds of extras in zombie makeup roaming landmarks such as the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., Big Ben in London, The Prado Museum in Madrid.

The stunts will commence at daybreak in Taipei and Hong Kong on Tuesday, Oct. 26 and moves across the globe during a 24 hour period and culminates at the show’s Los Angeles premiere.

Across the globe, several thousand supporters of the show - sporting dusty, tattered clothing spattered with blood - began with a trance-walk around their favorite city frightening some pedestrians and confusing others.

But nothing would kill their spirit.

ComiXology, Image Comics & Robert Kirkman Release THE WALKING DEAD App

Just in time for Halloween and the premier of AMC's The Walking Dead Image, comiXology and Kirkman team-up to develop an iPhone app for The Walking Dead. I'm not quite sure what purpose this app serves since you can already read these books on your iPhone, but it does provides all the issues (for purchase) in one easy to use app with comiXology's new Guided View.

New York, NY – To commemorate the highly anticipated AMC series premiere of The Walking Dead this Halloween, comiXology has created a dedicated digital comic app of the award-winning series for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch in collaboration with Image Comics and the comic’s creator Robert Kirkman.

The Walking Dead, which won the 2010 Eisner Award for Best Continuing Series at San Diego Comic Con, recently went day-and-date with its digital version on comiXology-enabled devices and Web reader and is now giving its loyal fan base the ability to enjoy the comic in all of its gory in its own dedicated app. The Walking Dead in digital format is exclusive to the Comics by comiXology platform.

“Robert Kirkman and Image Comics have been great partners of ours and we love to see them continually pushing the envelope with The Walking Dead series,” said David Steinberger, CEO of comiXology. “Through this new app, zombie lovers everywhere will be getting a full dose of their favorite comic on their mobile devices all in one location. We’ve even added all the collected editions.”

The story centers around Rick Grimes, a former police officer who was shot in the line of duty and woke up from a coma after the world had succumbed to the zombie plague. Dazed from months in the hospital, and confused as to why he can't find anyone alive, he begins his journey to find his wife and son.

“Today’s app release will provide fans of The Walking Dead, new and old alike, another way to enjoy this series," said Robert Kirkman. “The Walking Dead app will make the series that much more accessible to the new generation that, more often than not, experiences their entertainment completely digitally. I couldn't be more thrilled to be working with comiXology, on the eve of the debut of the AMC television series, to bring this series in front of a whole new generation of readers.”

The Walking Dead app can be found in the iTunes App Store here and on comics.comixology.com.

The purchases made in The Walking Dead app will also be available in the Comics by comiXology app and online at comics.comixology.com.

NYCC ’10: A Trilogy of Original Novels set in The Walking Dead “Universe in 2011

The Walking Dead, the acclaimed horror series by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard, will move from comics to television to prose.

Deadline reports that Thomas Dunne Books, a division of St. Martin’s Press, will publish a trilogy of original novels set in The Walking Dead “universe,” beginning in 2011. Kirkman will conceptualize and outline the books, which will then be developed by horror novelist Jay Bonansinga (Perfect Victim, Shattered).

The novels will mark the second time the world of The Walking Dead has appeared in prose: Kirkman contributed a short story, “Together, Alone,” to the zombie-fiction anthology The Living Dead 2, published last month.

AMC’s adaptation of The Walking Dead debuts on Oct. 31. Issue 78 of the Image Comics series, which Deadline says has sold about 3 million copies worldwide, is due in stores next week.

AMC’s THE WALKING DEAD Picks Up a Second Season; Executive Producer Frank Darabont Talks Season Two

It was a damn good trailer. So damn good that it got the show a second season.  In spite of the fact that its pilot episode will not air until Halloween night, AMC’s zombie adaptation The Walking Dead (based on Robert Kirkman’s ongoing comic series) has already been picked up for a second season. From Empire [via Fangoria], the follow-up to the show’s six-episode first season will begin filming in February 2011 and will consist of thirteen episodes.

From Comic Book Movie, The Walking Dead Executive Producer Frank Darabont claims that he would love to capture on film “some of the environmental elements from volume 2 of Kirkman’s epic comic,” saying:

“It would be great not just to get out of the heat (season one was shot in Atlanta), but to present a different idea to the audience visually and tonally by having it be winter. There’s some really cool stuff that Kirkman did, where they find the one zombie that’s frozen to the ground. I’d never seen that before and that’s really cool.”

Darabont also discussed his excitement for potentially introducing one of his favorite characters from the comic in season two:

“…Or when Michonne shows up – and boy, is she a character I can’t wait to get to – when she comes striding out of the wasteland like a Clint Eastwood f***ing spaghetti western character cross-melded with some samurai movie, like the Baby Cart character with the f***ing sword, and there’s just a little drift of snow in the air. I would love to put that on film.” said Darabont.

I cannot wait until Halloween night to watch the television adaption of one my favorite books. The trailer, production pictures have all looked wonderful and really capture the spirit of the books.  Now, if we could just Y THE LAST MAN INVINCIBLE, EX MA CHINA and/or FABLES green-lit, television might be worth watching again.
