*Spoilers*<\/p>\n

At long last the day comic book fans have been anticipating for months has finally arrived – it’s the premiere of The Walking Dead<\/em>! The television show is based on the award winning comic series<\/a> of the same name,\u00a0created\u00a0by\u00a0Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore. The show follows Rick Grimes, a small town deputy who is wounded in a gun fight trying to apprehend some criminals. Rick ends up in a coma for some time before awaking to a zombie filled post apocalyptic nightmare. With no living souls around, Rick leaves the hospital and attempts to make his way home.\u00a0On the way, Rick finds\u00a0the town pretty much deserted aside from all the dead bodies. When\u00a0Rick reaches his home, he finds that it too is deserted and there is no sign of his\u00a0wife or son.<\/p>\n

After\u00a0finding his\u00a0family gone and with everything he experienced, Rick wonders if\u00a0he is in fact dreaming. Rick’s wonder is put to rest as he is soon attacked by a young boy, Duane,\u00a0and his father, Morgan. Though\u00a0cautious of Rick at\u00a0first, they soon become friends. Morgan explains to Rick about the zombies and gives him some tips on how to survive. The trio go\u00a0back to Rick’s home and discover that\u00a0Lori and Carl,\u00a0Rick’s wife and son,\u00a0had in fact packed up and left the house and may yet still be alive. Rick takes Morgan and Duane to the police station\u00a0to pick\u00a0up some weapons and supplies. Once they get what they need, Rick asks Duane to accompany him to Atlanta, the nearest big city where any survivors are likely to be, so he can\u00a0search for his family, but Duane declines. Duane explains to Rick that he and his son are still not ready to move on and are still dealing with the fact that his wife died and became a zombie. They say their goodbyes and Rick sets off in his police car for whatever awaits him in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
