Robert Kirkman is more like a teddy bear than a zombie. And arrogant, nothing. Retains the air of geek lover of comics with his companions got as a child but now one of the showrunners most powerful television today. The key to success is called The Walking Dead , born in comic book history and whose fifth season arrives today to Ecuador in Fox (2220). The sixth green light has the same as a new series derived from this success full of zombies and other production, entitled Outcast, address the world of the paranormal.
At 35 Kirkman is the best example of the new golden age of television, a medium he knows thanks to new genres. He was born in Kentucky (USA) knows because he went out of his apparent shyness is able to discover this newspaper as the new master of horror. “I hesitate a bit before saying that The Walking Dead brought terror to television. It is arrogant but true. His popularity allowed other chains venture into this genre, to go beyond the programming and , I hope, to make better and more interesting way, “she told El Pais.
Speaking of 17.3 million viewers who are engaged in The Walking Dead at the beginning This season in the US and have given rise to other series of gender as Penny Dreadful, The Strain, American Horror Story or Constantine.

In the forums there is talk of complete annihilation by the end of this apocalypse. Kirkman laughs. “To say we all die is overkill because for me The Walking Dead is a story full of hope. So do not die all but say that 98 per cent. “
It is careful with what he says. Without neglecting the “moment of madmen” who is living on the crest of the wave misses the days when the showrunners were not the kings of rock but names which disappeared in the credits. His zombies are worse fame and ambition because he kept too long in public. Sometimes writing is enclosed in the office you have in the basement of their home or airplane trips without fleeing the internet. Otherwise it is an affable guy that what he likes to have made the transition from comics to television is the writer’s room, where you can write exchanging ideas with other creators
