The zombies are upon us! Well, not quite yet, but the buzz online for AMC's upcoming Walking Dead is heating up. Take a peak at what people are saying about the comic-book adaptation.
• A reviewer of the pilot script told MTV.com that Walking Dead could "do for horror what Battlestar Galactica did for science fiction." High praise!
• The horror hub Bloodydigusting.com reports that the pilot will begin shooting on May 15 and thinks Robert Kirkman's is "one of the greatest comics of all time."
• Other fan sites are eager, as well. Comic Book Resources cites The Walking Dead as a "prime example of a 'would work better as a TV show than as a movie' wish-list item."
• Over at DreadCentral.com, they can barely contain their excitement.
• Finally, is the series more evidence that zombies really are the new vampires?
