I absolutely love The Walking Dead, although not quite as much as Kirkman's other beyond-awesome series (Invincible, which is the single greatest comic ever and you all need to read it right the fuck now). One particularly great thing that they both have in common is that there's no status quo, no 'back to normal' to return to. If terrible shit happens to someone, they're affected by it and stay that way. I also loved his ideas about zombie behavior, the different names for them (roamers, lurkers, etc), and whanot. All in all, it's just a brilliant series.
If you'd asked me a year ago about AMC doing a series, I would have ran for the hills. But between Mad Men and The Prisoner, they're actually churning out some high-quality stuff, so who knows? Maybe they can pull it off.
