So, Walking Dead. Pretty fantastic, no? And now, like its AMC brethren Mad Men, it’s inspiring some equally fantastic fan art:
This poster by illustrator Andrew Kolb totally knocks my socks off. Have you seen any other cool Walking Dead ephemera, PopWatchers?

Friggin Awesome Poster!!
Very Cool !
Love the poster – not so sure about the show.
The show’s fantastic, it’s like Lost but with an actual storyline!
ya, it’s like lost. except not at all. great show though.
I also think it resembles Lost but it has more of what I wanted from Lost in the beginning – complex and more credible group dynamics. Lost was more mindless fun (not that i have anything against that)but with TWD i find myself revisiting sociology books.
This show is better than LOST! It has a coherent story line, more interesting and dynamic characters, and, dare I say, it’s more realistic! That’s right, I said it: Zombies are more realistic than a “smoke monster.”
The poster is cute I guess… but it’s really only “awesome” if it were for a madcap 1960s Blake Edwards movie or something.
Awesome it is not. Looks like some kind of Bullwinkle crap. Doesn’t fit the show at all. Reject.
And the most unfun person of the year…
I like the poster. I cannot watch the show — not because it isn’t good (I really admire it, actually), but because my real week is already a horror, and I just can’t stomach an extra hour of it as entertainment.
I agree with Barock. This poster is derivative to the max.
Shouldn’t the poster have the Walking Dead in it or something?
I love it…it reminds me of when people would come up with awesome Lost posters…I miss Lost still….
Don’t get why you think it’s awesome… care to explain?
It’s really well done! Such talent this illustrator has! It’s sweet when one person’s art can inspire another artist’s vision. Super rad throw-back as well. Thanks EW.
If by “fantastic” you mean, “doesn’t relate to the show stylistically whatsoever and totally misrepresents the show”, then yeah it’s fantastic.
Exactly

Can’t we have a decent talk without bringing Lost into the conversation… Enough already !
For some reason people love to bring Lost up with this show. Besides both being about a group if survivors I really don’t see too much of a connection-
and BTW I love both shows.
I like the concept of it, but not the cartoon style of it. It’s 50/50 for me.
Right. Animation reminds me of the Jetsons. Not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the show.
