One can only hope the network will follow suit with its latest series The Walking Dead, based on the popular comic book series by Robert Kirkman.

The Walking Dead comic, for those unfamiliar with the series, is set in a post-zombie outbreak America and follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes. The artwork is done in black and white (except for the cover art), which seems to add a level of grittiness to the overall tone of the story. The upcoming TV show is set in color, but otherwise it’s basically the same story converted into a new medium, as you can see in the official trailer embedded below.
