The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead is a horror-drama series that takes place in a modern world destroyed by a zombie uprising. The series began as a comic book in 2003, published by Image Comics and written by Robert Kirkman. In 2010, the comic was adapted into The Walking Dead television series for AMC. The TV show became immensely popular and even began a series of successful Walking Dead spin-offs. What makes The Walking Dead stand out among other works in the post-apocalypse genre is its strong character writing and focus on a grounded setting. The series throws viewers into a grim setting with relatable characters, and leaves many viewers to wonder what they themselves would do in such a situation. This is the exact question that became the basis for Telltale Games' Walking Dead video game series.
