To describe The Walking Dead as ‘dark’ would be an understatement approaching libellous proportions. Robert Kirkman’s tale of the poor wretches unlucky enough to still be alive during a zombie apocalypse has crossed the event horizon and is now circling a black hole from which no light (joy, humour, hope or general merriment) can escape.
For once the word horror can be applied accurately; forget all of those dreary remakes and mindless torture-porn offerings at the multiplexes, for a story that will truly horrify head down to your local comic shop and pick up a copy of The Walking Dead.
