“We have been admirers of Vincenzo’s unique vision and imagination ever since Cube blew our minds. Releasing on Septemfrom publisher Encyclopocalypse Publications, TECH furthers Natali’s passion for sci-fi horror into the realm of literary fiction. What would humans do if they got ahold of alien technology? In Vincenzo Natali’s upcoming graphic novel TECH, they’d exploit it for profit. Watch as Rick wakes up in a hospital and works his way into the barren streets of Atlanta. In a world ruled by the dead, the survivors are forced to finally start living.” In a matter of months, society has crumbled: no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility. What I do know is that if this is assembled into some sort of feature-length animation I would pay to watch it on iTunes or some other streaming medium. Does this mean every issue is going to be animated and for free? I have no idea. The first ever issues of “The Walking Dead” has been animated and posted to YouTube, with a promise of a continuation of the first TPB, “Days Gone Bye”, which collects the comic’s first six issues. But now it’s finding a new medium, thanks to AMC. While the show has become the biggest thing in horror, I still swear by the books, which have been collected as trade paperbacks over the years (better for toilet reading, ya know?). When AMC finally adapted it to the small screen in 2010, I wasn’t a huge fan, but as a collector of the books stuck with it for a few years. Nobody else seemed to care at the time, but I didn’t give a fuck, I was in geek heaven.
I immediately grabbed a drink and celebrated. In fact, the first I heard about a television series was at a San Diego Comic-Con party when a producer told me he had landed the rights. One of the greatest comic books of all time is Image Comics and Skybound Entertainment’s “The Walking Dead”, a monthly black-and-white series that started in 2003, created and written by Robert Kirkman with artist Tony Moore.Įver since I read the first issue, I’ve been dying for an adaptation.
