And speaking of comics, it’s not new but it’s essential: Four trade paperback volumes of writer Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead comic book series have been released, with a fifth one scheduled.

A new zombie comic book from IDW Publishing, and it’s surprisingly good.

And the mix of sympathetic and unsympathetic characters means we’ve got at least a few folks we won’t miss when the chomping starts. Good full-color art by Chris Bolton, good story by Shane McCarthy.
