Now this looks absolutely bloody brilliant - saw it elsewhere yesterday. I know everyone else is sick of zombies, but I'm not. I love 'em. |

I'll give this a go. I read the comic up until about issue 70 or so, by which point the writer seemed to be running out of ideas, and although there wasn't much new there, it's a pretty decent, serious zombie story. Nice and old school too - no running, no hokey explanations. Just shambling, hungry bastards, Romero-style. |

Hmm... it looks ok. I thought that Monsters trailer had more of the magic to it than this. This even had the now overused 'waking up in hospital' thing. |

I have to say, I am starting to forget why zombies scared me in the first place. I think tv and film is too slick these days to capture the feeling I remember. Remember when we were kids and would find dead dogs and cats lying around all the time? I once also saw a sheep's head in a back garden for a dog to chew on, fur and eyes and all. And I also remember they used to not bother locking up old empty houses (there were streetsfull in Newcastle back in the sixties and seventies) and we used to play in them. Terrifying places, like little snapshots of the end. My feelings about zomibes are in both these things, but never much in films any more. |

That's all we needed to do. Call them 'Zomibes'. |

Meh. I think the problem is that the zombies drag too much baggage behind them. Why should the setting (generic faux post-apocalypse) always be the same? Imagine if every vampire film had to be set in Victorian London. |
