WoW Day Of The Dead

WoW Day Of The Dead, While other games such as Magic: the Gathering and Pokemon has been besting it easily numbers-wise (both in terms of sales and tournament players), the WoW card game remains alive here, perhaps in large part due to the appeal of the loot cards printed in every major expansion.

WoW Day Of The Dead in The Walking Dead is clearly for people who are aware of the comic book series, but the problem is, it's critically acclaimed Indy comic, so is there a large enough audience?

The other issue will be, they need to avoid the trap of marketing this as strictly a Zombie show. It's much more than that, and if people are tuning in thinking it's all Zombie all the time, they will be sorely disappointed. While there is a good amount of gore for a 10 pm, Cable Show, it's not a constant flow. As I said this series is about the characters and not the blood splatter.

I'm not sure how well this show will work once commercials are factored in and the weekly slog of it. It seems to me this will be the perfect show to fire up those DVRs for, it's one that really sucks you in, but I'm guessing will be so much better watching as a whole. Kind of like the comics, the show will probably best be enjoyed in "trade" form.
