Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has fired back at former collaborator Tony Moore, who is suing him for fraud. IN a statement released via his lawyer, Kirkman stated:

In comics, were one privy to what goes on in the editorial suite, you could probably do "The Hour In Creative Differences," not "The Week." That said, there have been a couple cases of creative differences that have bubbled to the surface in the last week or so: the circumstances of how John Rozum came to leave Static Shock and the demise of The Infinite from Robert Kirkman and Rob Liefeld.

Robert Kirkman proved just how strong his will and courage are yesterday when he survived an appearance on The View -- not just any appearance, but one where the hostesses were all in their Halloween costumes, including Sherri Shepherd dressed as Frankenstein's Flava and Elisabeth Hasselbeck as...a pregnant wicker basket full of maple candy? What was that. Proving that he has the poise for the big time, Kirkman not only did not burst into screams -- or laughter -- but patiently answered all the biddies' nosy questions about where zombies come from, how they live, what they eat (rugula, maybe?), and whether the zombies are seeing anyone right now and if not how are they going to settle down?

We made it people. Finally, a comic book person has made The View. Robert Kirkman will appear on today's Halloween-themed edition of the popular coffee-klatsch chat fest.

Besties Robert Kirkman and Rob Liefeld will team on a new SFish book called THE INFINITE for Kirkman's Skybound imprint at Image, USA Today reports.

We were very curious to see what kind of responses this question would get – while a lot of people are doing some of the best work of their careers, or emerging as critical favorites, it was a very mixed year business-wise and we were wondering who would be seen as the most visionary and decisive person. Well, we needn't have worried that this would be a hard question to answer.

This is either a zombie renaissance, or a comic book renaissance for TV, as The Walking Dead has officially been greenlit for a second season or a whole 13 episodes after record ratings. As the President of AMC put it:

"No other cable series has ever attracted as many Adults 18-49 as ‘The Walking Dead.

That's called making an impact. The second episode, which aired last night, w as down only a tick from the premiere's record breaking ratings. Congrats once again to Robert Kirkman and company. PR below.

The Walking Dead premiere last night was the highest rated cable series premiere of 2010, and its highest rating EVER on AMC for an original series, Deadline reports. The premiere drew 5.3 million total...
