*This post will contain spoilers and discussion regarding The Walking Dead. Please stop reading if you do not want to be spoiled. *Trumpets Blare, Noisemakers go off* The Walking Dead returns tomorrow woohoo!! For this week's Zurvival Saturday I'm going to talk about what else?!? The Walking Dead, of course!! Finally, after what seems like an epic long break The Walking Dead returns with the episode The Suicide King. The episode will air February 10, 2013 at 9/8c on AMC. The Suicide King- After the invasion of Woodbury by Rick's group, Daryl and Merle are captured by The Governor. Rick decides the fate of Tyreese's group. Ominous sounding isn't it?? I've been trying to wrap my head around the mid-season finale since seeing it, especially with Merle and Daryl captured but I'll save those thoughts for another day. I'll be doing episode recaps/thoughts later in the year once the season has finished. Check out the creepy Mid-Season premier poste...

For this week's Zurvival Saturday I will be reviewing The Walking Dead Volume 1 by Robert Kirkman A few week's back I did a comparison of The Walking Dead comics vs TV ( Click Here to Read ) and it was only while looking for something I wrote in that post that I realized that I hadn't actually reviewed this yet. So here it is my review of The Walking Dead Vol.1 Days Gone Bye.

In a matter of months, society has crumbled: There is no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. Rick Grimes finds himself one of the few survivors in this terrifying future. A couple months ago he was a small town cop who had never fired a shot and only ever saw one dead body. Separated from his family, he must now sort through all the death and confusion to try and find his wife ...

For this weeks Book to Movie Monday I have decided to cover The Walking Dead: Days Gone By. Now I know, I know it's a TV show not a movie but I've wanted to do a comparison for awhile now and rather than make a whole new meme I'm shelving it here. First Let's Discuss The Book. Below Is The Cover: Now for a little back story in case some of you aren't familiar with the Novel. The Walking Dead began as a comic series created by Robert Kirkman. The comics were first released in 2003 by Image comics. The Walking Dead: Days Gone By Vol. 1 was released in May 2004 and contains the first 6 issues in the series. Let's look at some of the characters now shall we. Main Protagonist Rick Grimes- A small town deputy from Kansas. He is husband to Lori Grimes and Father to Carl Grimes. In the first episode/comic he is shot and sent into a coma. Upon waking Rick discovers that his hospital has been abandoned as well as his town and the dead for reasons unknown ha...

For this week's Waiting On Wednesday I chose *drumroll* The Walking Dead: The Road To Woodbury by Robert Kirkman and Jay Boninsinga Expected Publication:October 16,2012 The zombie plague unleashes its horrors on the suburbs of Atlanta without warning, pitting the living against the dead. Caught in the mass exodus, Lilly Caul struggles to survive in a series of ragtag encampments and improvised shelters. But the Walkers are multiplying. Dogged by their feral hunger for flesh and crippled by fear, Lilly relies on the protection of good Samaritans by seeking refuge in a walled-in town once known as Woodbury, Georgia. At first, Woodbury seems like a perfect sanctuary. Squatters barter services for food, people have roofs over their heads, and the barricade expands, growing stronger every day. Best of all, a mysterious self-proclaimed leader named Philip Blake keeps the citizens in line. But Lilly begins to...
