The Walking Dead PREQUEL details from AMC

I love the AMC show and the Image Comics of The Walking Dead...both for different reasons,
So this news of AMC developing a "companion" series to "The Walking Dead."

According to TVLine, the new series "will be a prequel of sorts, one that would chronicle the early days of the epidemic and the effort to contain it.".

Robert Kirkman, the man behind The Walking Dead,  told IGN that the new series would be set in a different location & would feature completely different assemble of survivors. "It definitely won't be set in Georgia, It's important to us that this show exists on its own. The spin-off has to be a show worthy of existing, or else we've all sold out."

Kirkman, will be one of the executive producers and AMC Studios will once again be producing the series.. This prequel/companion series has a target date of sometime 2015.
