From EW<\/a><\/p>\n

Entertainment Weekly sat down with Robert Kirkman to discuss season 2 of The Walking Dead. \u00a0The interview is listed below.<\/em><\/p>\n

With\u00a0The Walking Dead<\/em> coming out on DVD next week, the show\u2019s writer-producer and original comic book\u2019s creator Robert Kirkman answers some of our burning questions about the second season, the upcoming video game and more.<\/p>\n

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What makes the DVD a must buy for fans?<\/strong>
\nROBERT KIRKMAN: <\/strong>There\u2019s a lot of cool behind-the-scenes footage, we had a great guy on set every minute of every day to catch a lot of candid footage and it\u2019s put into bunch of documentaries. Plus, of course, we have the six episodes.<\/p>\n

I love that it\u2019s coming out now instead of like some TV shows that put out the DVD right before the next season.<\/strong>
\nIt always bugs me when I want to re-watch the last season of\u00a0Lost<\/em> but I can\u2019t watch 22 episodes in the four days just before the new season starts. I understand that they do it for marketing reasons, but I wish they would give us more time.<\/p>\n

Exactly. How are things going on season 2?<\/strong>
\nGreat. We\u2019re mapping out everything. We got a lot of cool ideas. Everyone here is mindful of how well received the first season was. We\u2019re breaking our backs, story wise, to make sure the next season is twice is good, or three times as good, with a lot of twists and turns and pushing the envelop of what you can do on TV.<\/p>\n

The first season alternated mainly between the camp site and Atlanta. What will the setting be for season 2?<\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t know if I can go into that, but I know [showrunner Frank Darabont] has said we\u2019re going to see Hershel\u2019s farm. We\u2019re looking to take some picturesque rural landscapes and playing with that and coming up with some cool zombie visuals. We\u2019ll see some of the locations of the first season, but we\u2019re going to mainly focus on breaking new ground. Oh, and we\u2019re going to feature a lava planet.<\/p>\n

Of course, the survivors have to stop at Mustafar. How much Rick vs. Shane drama is going to play into season 2?<\/strong>
\nThat\u2019s definitely the core dynamic that\u2019s going on, but there\u2019s a lot of other interesting stuff in the mix. We\u2019re going to seeing a lot of Andrea and a lot more of Laurie.<\/p>\n

How much is Frank Darabont writing\/directing?<\/strong>
\nHe\u2019s focusing on writing. He\u2019s in writers room every day. I\u2019m writing some episodes and he\u2019s writing some episodes. We\u2019re trying to figure out what we\u2019re doing with the directing right now. The logistics and also being big part of the writers room will limit his time.<\/p>\n

Is the great Bear McCreary staying on as composer?<\/strong>
\nYes.<\/p>\n

And we still have to wait until October?<\/strong>
\nYes, that\u2019s pretty public at this point. That\u2019s the target.<\/p>\n

The Walking Dead<\/em> will be at Comic-Con, I assume?<\/strong>
\nOh yeah, indeed. We\u2019re going to have a 12-foot-tall zombie costume<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve played through\u00a0Left 4 Dead<\/em>, so what will the upcoming\u00a0Walking Dead<\/em> video game bring new to the genre?<\/strong>
\nLeft 4 Dead<\/em> is much more focused on action. On of the key aspects of\u00a0Walking Dead<\/em> is it focuses on characters and the emotion, and that theme is very much alive in the game, and luckily with modern games you can actually do that.<\/p>\n

Anything else you can tease to from about season 2?<\/strong>
\nWe\u2019ve been talking to [zombie effects master] Greg Nicotero a lot about some cool zombie stuff he has planned. As much as this show pushed the envelope of gore on TV, the joy of seeing the best zombies ever done on a TV show every week, all I can say you haven\u2019t seen anything yet.<\/p>\n
