US: Fear the Walking Dead

They are just badly written, the dialogue is terrible as I said. Laughably bad. I could give a stack of examples but they would be spoilers. You of all people really shouldn't be lecturing about piracy. I have seen you brag enough about it in other sections.

It's a comic book so the delivery is not going to be the same as the screenplay. As Sonny mentioned your obviously not a comic book fan so there no point even trying to convince you otherwise, however check out all latest blockbuster movies practically every one is based on a comic book or novels, so it can't be all that bad. The Marvel Cinematic Universe that made billions from movies is all based from comic books.

None of that means the first 5 volumes are anything but dross. Baywatch was at one time the most viewed program in the world, doesn't mean it was actually any good

I do like comics, I have nothing against them but marvel making bazillions don't alter the fact of the 9 I have read 5 have been absolutely laughably bad. I certainly wouldn't recommend then to someone who has watched the tv series, other than to thank your lucky stars they didnt follow some of the character plots.

I'm enjoying the comics and so are many other people out there in fact the walking dead has 3 out 10 of the best sellers on the amazon Comics & Graphic Novels list and 6 out of 10 best sellers on the amazon Image Comics section

also they all seem to have 5 star reviews on amazon after over 200+ reviews

dannyjo22 · 7 Apr 2015 at 23:19

Yep and 50 shades made loads of top lists, doesn't stop it being **** with **** writing. The first 3 volumes are right up there with the beano.

I never got why people rave about the comics either, as others have said I found them [ok just the first 2 gave up after] just a load of poo

Due for an October release.

Looking forward to this one

MooMoo444 · 7 May 2015 at 09:20

Isnt the main series returning in October?

It seems odd to have them conflicting.

Freakbro · 7 May 2015 at 09:41

Yea, just checked on imdb and the main series is October as well.

Oh well, can't get enough Zombies! :cool:

NexusK · 7 May 2015 at 10:27

It's not airing in October, it doesn't have an official air date yet other than probably being in the summer during TWD's off season.

Which would make more sense than running them together.

It was just an article on here http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3343263/fear-the-walking-dead-inspired-bath-salts-ebola/ that I saw it said October, but I didn't check any further.

AMC are still just saying late summer, though imdb has Jul 15, though that's probaly just a place holder

NexusK · 7 May 2015 at 14:24

No doubt, another article listed the latest rumour as June. It's only 6 episodes so i suppose they can air it at any time during the summer and still end before the main show starts.

Kyo · 8 May 2015 at 21:05

IMDb has the Pilot listed for July 2015 which is basically just before the main series

I do hope this isn't set anywhere near TWD crew, i want some new scenery.

Rroff · 10 May 2015 at 15:16

^^ Same I want to see something a bit different, wouldn't mind seeing a spin off set in the UK either - even though there are several (in some cases very good) UK based zombie/post-apoc movies/tv shows.

Fraid I'm in the same boat - never got what the hype is with comics.

It going to be completely seperate. Only thing in common is it is set in the same universe

NexusK · 11 May 2015 at 21:01

Looks like it will be July or even August. They're now saying late summer and production apparently only started today.

VoG · 11 Jul 2015 at 16:30

Trailers up and it's looking good.

Rroff · 11 Jul 2015 at 16:39

That actually looked really good - I hope they go with that slightly slower paced perspective of things falling apart despite the slightly ironic voice over at the end in that regard.

dannyjo22 · 11 Jul 2015 at 23:40

Looks great, the first of many spin offs no doubt.
