We've been dying to let you in on this secret. The rumors are true - we're working on a game based on Robert Kirkman's Eisner award-winning comics series The Walking Dead!

The folks at IGN.com have all the info that's fit to print (or post online), including an interview where they picked the brraaaains of Robert Kirkman himself, so do yourself a favor and head over there to read all about it!

We'll have a lot more to talk about The Walking Dead in the coming months so stay tuned for more updates!

	Definatly not what i expected, If you are now doing games based on tv shows now, the next one i want to see is a Firefly game.

	A Firefly game would be sooo shiny Goramit!!! :) I know nothing about The Walking Dead, I look forward to Telltale getting me into it...

	I Get the feeling I'm going to pass on this one... I think the only monster game I would want to see telltale make is one based on Doctor Who Mind you, the new JP game doesn't look half bad (despite the fact that telltales Achilles heel has always been and still appears to be photo-real human characters)

	Is there REALLY nothing more you can tell at yet?

	Wall Street Journal says the deal also includes a game based on Fables. Is that true?

	Dear guys at Telltale, where can I send the laundry bill of my pants?

	Congrats TTG, though I may end up passing on it. I like The Walking Dead, (I've read volume 1&2 of the hardcovers) but I find it hard going and very intense / horrific. I'm still not sure I want to carry on reading, despite liking it.

	Where can I find a high-res version of that art?

	I am stunned.

	So it's based on the comics, eh? That's good, because I thought the show left out some stuff that was important in the name of drama. Let's hope the game keeps it in there. Plus it's episodic as well. I'll tell you what, if you manage to get to the point where there's a new episode of 'something' every month, I'll give you my credit card details and we'll be very happy together. :)
