With The Walking Dead racing toward a remarkable 100 issues this July -- not to mention its tenth anniversary next year -- Robert Kirkman is ramping up the excitement (including recreating the zombie apocalypse at SDCC). In an interview with Newsarama, Kirkman unveiled The Walking Dead: Cutting Room Floor, a collection of original hand-written notes that formulate what became the hit indie comic series.
"It's the first time I've looked at some of these notes in a long time," Kirkman told the site. "I have a master document that has plots moving forward that I review from time to time, but the individually hand-written plots for each issue I don't review regularly. Pouring back over them for this new collection reminded me of various things I had planned but then moved away from. In some cases I can't remember why I had planned it that way, while in others I kick myself for not sticking to my original notes."
Kirkman also mentioned that looking over the old notes has given him some new ideas for the series, and that there might be some hidden clues for what's still to come in the story. "There could be some nuggets hidden in these notes that might inform things coming up in the comic series. There are definitely some never-before-seen ideas for the series here that could provide insight on what's coming up next."
