-THE WALKING DEAD- To all that enjoy the best zombie storyline in both comic and television form, WELCOME! (DISCLAIMER) I try not to spoil the comic at all. The story is so deep and so many things have happened that it makes it hard for me to post a lot from the comic. I do however discuss and post things about the show immediately after each episode airs. It may not be a good idea to view this page if you are not all caught up on the series.

What does everyone think of FEAR THE WALKING DEAD so far? I’m happy its a fresh take on The Walking Dead. Having been such a big fan of the comics the The Walking Dead series has been hard to enjoy at moments when it went off the tracks.
There are certain rules that have been set up and established in the first show that we can’t break from. We also need to make sure that we’re not stepping on each other’s story.” Luckily, the EP is “far ahead in” Robert Kirkman’s comic and, as a result, “can hopefully” steer clear of repetitive plots. There are a lot of people [on the creative team] who know this world really well. So even if I were to miss something, [others] would jump on me in the first 30 seconds of the script going out.”
Showrunner Dave Erickson has assured viewers the two Walking Dead shows — which are designed to stand alone — can co-exist without regurgitating plots
I will say that [the outbreak and accompanying story] will definitely progress. I will say that I don’t consider this show to be a prequel to The Walking Dead, because there will be a point where a certain episode of this show will line up with season 2 of The Walking Dead, and a certain episode of this show will line up with season 3 ofThe Walking Dead. So we will be progressing through time to the point that we do pass the initial days of the outbreak. But how fast it is that we get there? That’s just going to have to remain a mystery.”
