EDITORIAL: Why I stopped reading the print edition of The Walking Dead

Today is the day that I will stop buying print editions of Robert Kirkman’s Walking Dead. It isn’t because of the story; those who think this series is destined for a happy ending need a reality check, and it isn’t because I’m fed up with the same ol’ same ol’ that seems to be the nature of the series.

Watch the Walking Dead elevator trailer

AMC has released a new trailer for the upcoming Walking Dead series.  Here Rick wakes up in the hospital following the zombiepocalypse and attempts to make sense of what has happened.

Walking Dead official trailer arrives from AMC

The official trailer appeared at the San Diego Comic Con and versions have appeared around the Intardwebz but now it’s officially available for all to see.

As the trailer indicates, there are some changes from the source material, but I’ll still be sitting in front of my television when the series arrives in October.

The Walking Dead debuts on AMC in October.
