Days Gone Bye (The Walking Dead)
Robert Kirkman, the creator of the eponymous series of comic books, considered the idea of creating a television show based on the comic series, but did not move forward. Frank Darabont expressed interest in developing the series for television. In January 2010, AMC formally announced that it had ordered a pilot for a possible series adapted from "The Walking Dead" comic book. In the announcement, the executives stated that Darabont would serve as writer, director, and an executive producer alongside Gale Anne Hurd.
Double Take Comics
All comic book series published by Double Take were inspired by and set in an alternate reality of "Night of the Living Dead". Jemas originally also considered creating comics on "XCOM", "BioShock" and "Civilization", three video game franchises owned by Take-Two Interactive, but could not come to terms with the respective game studios. He went "Night of the Living Dead" instead, seeing that the intellectual property was in the public domain, and because he felt like zombies were popular at the time. Jemas planned on distributing the comics digitally, through ComiXology and Madefire, and produce print versions later on.
