OMG!  This was announced last month?  Where the hell was I?  I hope it happens.  They say AMC is looking to do it and it would be 110% faithful.  (Why not 115%? you ever wonder why everyone always says 110%?) Anyway, I hope it becomes a reality.  I frakkin' love 'The Walking Dead'! 
 
AMC and Frank Darabont team up to bring 'The Walking Dead' to TV  
Robert Kirkman on 'The Walking Dead' coming to TV 
  
There's also an annotated Google Map giving the locations of everything that happens from issue 1-64.  I can tell you if you try to search for it on the web the links just take you to a blank map over Coffeyville, KS I believe.  So, if you're interested, go to Google Maps, place your screen in an area from Kentrucky and Tennessee to Georgia, search for Walking Dead, and it'll pull up the annotated listings.  I downloaded it to Google Earth and it's friggin' sweet! 
 
(a fun little aside -- The one thing that gets me about "The Walking Dead" --- There was a snowstorm...in the Atlanta area...a snowstorm...like a blizzard?...in Atlanta....I live in Atlanta...snowstorms don't happen...at least often...now, if it were a bit north of Atlanta, I could understand...but a snowstorm...in Atlanta...**scratches head**...
