What We Learned:
For this we look back five years to a Warren Ellis interview about his Avatar Press comic, Black Gas.

“Zombies tend to enjoy a resurgence when Western society feels it’s up against a faceless, silent threat — whether it’s conservative culture threatened by Communists or radical Islam, or liberal culture terrified by all-enveloping capitalism and the world turning into a mall full of drones.”

Half a decade later, the same rules apply.

Why We’re Gonna Watch:

The Walking Dead is the excellent Robert Kirkman comics series that we usually can not shut up about. The TV series of this comic is being run by Frank Darabont. He is known, by us, as the only man to bring a Stephen King novel faithfully to the silver screen.

Frank Darabont knows how to tell a story.

When’s it coming?
This Halloween on AMC.
