As a big fan of the Walking Dead games by Telltale, I have to say that I have been looking forward to any new information on the series. This upcoming miniseries might not completely scratch that itch, but it is a good start.
Press release:
Today we can share release dates and all-new screens for the first of three episodes in The Walking Dead: Michonne - A Telltale Miniseries.

In this premiere episode, 'In Too Deep,' Michonne joins Pete and his crew on the sailing ship The Companion as they cruise the coast for survivors and supplies. When a desperate signal for help draws them to a scene of horrific massacre, Michonne and the crew are lead further to the floating survivors' colony of Monroe, which may just be harboring the person responsible for the carnage.
