Latin America was unveiled yesterday for the much awaited version of the hit TV IMAGE comic "The Walking Dead, created by Robert Kirkman in 2003. Input could be talking about a positive balance in favor of the television adaptation, and writing as a fan to the death of the comic, I can say I've been especially pleased with two points: 1. The remarkable fidelity to the comic. 2. The impeccable staging.
If anything gave us the first chapter was a nice feeling of loyalty and respect for the development of the original story written. Since the initial shooting, passing by the scene of the hospital and meeting with Morgan, to the first zombie with which it interacts and the arrival Rick rode to Atlanta, everyone is properly tailored events as they were drawn in the first two issues series. And on the staging, apparently spared no expense for the makeup are more than correct, there are hordes of zombies (as in the scene of Atlanta), a good deal of blood (considering it is a TV series) and also the narrative continuity is accurate, it is not the same as telling a story through vignettes that do run in a space of 48 minutes duration. If something is special about the comic is that it brings the reader to fully enter into it: to live what the character is living, suffer with the unexpected deaths of characters you would not expect to die so soon, look at the complexity of human relationships among Extreme situations ... if the director manages to awaken these feelings in the viewer is sure to be a series as successful as the comic itself.
If I have to talk about the "buts" I will ruthlessly: The actor chosen to make Shane (friend Rick police) is far much of the comic book character, he looks weak and has idiot face. On the other hand, for those who have already read the comic (which is at # 78), probably the series give us a few plot surprises (eg we all know in the next chapter is the one who rescues Rick from the zombie horde Atlanta, what is the fate of Shane and Lori, etc.) Although details such as the war tank used as a shelter at the end of the episode (an element not in the original comic) does provide that the series will give us time "novel" that probably make the story more interesting. 
Zombies, demented twists, unexpected deaths, more zombies, more alive bastards that own the undead ... That's what awaits us as long as the series to continue faithful to the original story (I have understood that Kirkman himself oversaw the television adaptation.) For now the first chapter gave us what we wanted to see the followers of the comics, and those who have never read a number of "The Walking Dead" surely will be an interesting series of zombies and survival than hook weekly. 
PD1: I can not wait to see the staging of the siege of the prison Woodbury, for me, the climax of the story. 
PD2: sovereign SUCCESSFUL the choice of the beautiful Sarah Wayne Callis as Lori. An ode to female beauty.
