Worst Walking Dead Billboard Placement Ever

The always-classy folks at Clear Channel did a quick cross-referencing of marketplaces that use the word "dead," and the result is this epic fail billboard placement, advertising AMC's televised adaptation of The Walking Dead outside a FUNERAL HOME. Nice.

via CrunchGear

You knew this was going to happen. It was inevitable. The Walking Dead succesfully made the jump from a comic book to cable, so it’s only naturual for the right’s holders to milk the franchise a bit more. And so the video game was born.

'The Walking Dead' Action Figures Let You Put A Zombie On Your Shelf Before Season Two!

via Splash Page

Let's face it: It was only a matter of time before "The Walking Dead" got its own line of action figures. Still, we can probably all agree that it's an added bonus to see the award-winning Image Comics series and hit AMC television series brought to the collectible toy market by one of the best in the biz, McFarlane Toys.

Turnabout is Fair Play: Walking Dead Season Two Will Have Writing Staff

Finally, a decision that shows someone in the entertainment biz is using their brrrraaains!

Despite sacking most of their writers and announcing plans to work with freelancers - who will take more crap because they can be let go at any time and who you don't have to buy insurance for - apparently a desire to maintain the quality of AMC's Walking Dead has won out over greed, a rare victory for the American television viewer.

Walking Dead season two will be a writing staff after all, although it will be a mostly new slate since most of season one's writers have already long-since been handed their walking papers, and exec producer/writer Charles "Chic" Eglee has left to work on Powers over at FX.

But the first new signing is very encouraging indeed, as Glen Mazzara, an excellent writer whose work you may know from shows such as The Shield and Life - not to mention episode five of WD season one - has been signed. Good start!

Now if you're taking requests, howzabout Jane Espenson and Brian K. Vaughan?

Season one of Walking Dead is over; where did it get us?

via Ars Technica

Warning: this post contains heavy spoilers and speculation

here is a moment in the comic book version of Walking Dead where you realize that not only is no one safe, the rules about where and when violence can occur are being changed. Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman is gifted at creating what looks to be straight genre fiction, before turning expectations around on the reader like a weapon. There are few such moments of power in the television show of the same name, and last night's finale seemed to think that an explosion is the same thing as a satisfying conclusion.

While an earlier Deadline report set tongues a twittering, you’ve got to like how Robert Kirkman has deflected some of the freak-outs over changes at the Walking Dead’s writing staff by frankly addressing them. In an interview with TV Guide he explains that things aren’t how they look.

Well, nothing may be wrong per se, but there is something going on behind the scenes as Deadline reports series writer/executive producer/director Frank Darabont has gotten rid of all the writers from this first season.
