GameFocus - The Walking Dead. First a cult hit comic series, taking geekdom by storm at the end of 2003, then it went mainstream after AMC turned it into a phenomenally successful television series in the fall of 2010. Now, the franchise is almost a household name, transcending its inner-circle popularity to become a bonafied hit in the entertainment world. Although I’m sure timing has had a lot to do with it, considering pop culture’s rabid love for the undead in recent years. 8.5/10
Hmm: Did I just come up with another story.
