So I read on the internet that the producers of The Walking Dead might be working on a proposed Deathlands TV series.
After thinking about that for a moment, I couldn't help but see the striking similarities betwixt the two series already.
In the walking dead, you have a post-holocaust type scenario, but instead of muties you have zombies.
Insofar as characters are concerned you have Rick who is like Ryan Cawdor, the leader of a small group struggling to survive. You have Machonne, the katana wielding black woman badass like Mildred.
Then you have the older man with one foot, the Doc of the group. Then you have Andrea, who is the token Krysty of the group. Then you have the crossbow dude, Dyrl Dixon, who is a lot like a mix of Jak and J.B. (Dixon as to 'Dix')
Then you have the Governor, who now sports an eyepatch! And runs a 'ville' of sorts, called Woodbury.
C'mon, is no one picking up on the strong similarities?
