    EDIT: Renewed for a second season. "The Walking Dead"

    I'm on book 9 of the comic and a lot of the things added to the show are not in the book. The books are absolutely brilliant. By moving away from them, they are only making the storyline worse. Edit - The guy cuffed to the roof ... hell the whole story in Atlanta is new. In the book, Glenn...
