Walking Dead Season 2

Season 2 of The Walking Dead has started.I thought season 1 was good (if not as good as I hoped), but the first episode of S2 was Zombieliscious… Check it out (if you can)

I would also recommend the still ongoing comic that it is based on, but with a warning that even for the most jaded Zombiphile, it makes the T.V. series look like Twilight; that is some cold blooded, merciless shit…
