Superman Vs Zombies

Like zombie movies, there are a tone of zombie comics that are pumped out every month. And there comics range from the purely awesome to the not so awesome.

I say "not so awesome" because I actually read everyone of them that I can, and I kinda like em all. But the big cheese of all these zombie comics would have to be The Walking Dead.


Dished out monthly by Image Comics, The Walking Dead is is amazing in terms of art and story. Being more than just a horror comic, the walking dead is more a tale of human drama, set against a zombie apocalypse. We follow our lead characters as they strive to survive not only against the undead, but also against the ass holes of humanity who try to rape, murder and generally be a pain in the ass for our heroes every step of the way.

The series has come a long way, and I've read every issue since the first. I must admit that what made the comic even sweeter in the beginning was the awesome art by Tony Moore, whose style of black and white I've been mad about since his Fear Agent series. But he left few issues into Walking Dead and was replaced by Charlie Adlard, who has a grittier style that adds to the comic in it's own cool way.

With a great story made up of strong drama and mad zombie action... I was very excited when I heard that the series was coming to the small screen as a live action TV show.

Rick Grimes... my hero

Well today I heard that Brandon Routh, the man who sissied up Superman, is joining the cast of Walking Dead's TV show, but as yet there's no news as to who he will be playing.

I really can't see him as any of the characters from the comic. With the bullshit way casting and such has been going these days in movies, I'm just glad they didn't make him Rick Grimes, that role has been handed to British Actor Andrew Lincoln.

Well lets see how this unfolds, who knows... maybe Routh will have a funny cameo role where he gets eaten by zombie Superman fans.

HBA Debate: Should the infected be considered zombies?

The happy folks over at the Horror Blog Alliance had our selves a series of debates recently, concerning various topics filed under "zombie."

With the subject matter so close to my undead loving heart, how could I not take part.

Going through the various discussions that were up for debate, I chose the topic of: Should the Infected be considered zombies.

I went in with a "yes."

It was a familiar topic, because it's one that my friends and I bring up every now and then when ever the subject of zombies creeps up.

Check out the full debate here, and please feel free to leave a comment.

Big thanks to Wilson and John Micheals for sharing their ideas on the subject with me... in the event of a zombie outbreak, I'll shoot you guys last.

"Live action" zombie game

How easily can out minds be fooled?

Here's a video of a guy who gets tricked into thinking that he's in the middle of a real life zombie scenario.


He goes into a bar with his mates, and decides to play a zombie arcade game that's conveniently placed near the entrance. Little does he know that machine has been set up by an illusionist Darren Brown, who is doing a segment for his TV show.

I'm not totally sure if the whole thing, including the guy who's tricked, wasn't a set up for the show... and that it is in fact us the audience who is being duped. But have a look for ya self... it's still pretty cool and slightly scary towards the end when the guy starts freaking out.

At least the guy 'playing' got more action out of it than the guy who though he was playing Silent Hill.

Zombie-mon

I'm not a Pokemon fan... But with a little bit of tweaking, I could get into it :P


The very talented artists over at Red Bubble have come with a mad range of Pokemon spin-of characters for a new line of T-shirts, aptly named Zombiemon!@#

All you favorite animated critters, zombified in bloody goodness... ready for you to drag home on your favorite colored shirt.

Check out the rest of the range here, very cool stuff.

Zombies: The new Cool?

Is it just me or are Zombies becoming a lot cooler then they once were? It seems if you wanna add a little more cred to anything now days....go zombie.

Esp in video games... It looks like the winning ingredient now days is "just add zombies"

Stalker...Halo... and even recently in World Of Warcraft.

Zombies are creeping into everything. Even our local pirate video chain (the one that has "Commitment to quality") seems to be stocking up on loads of Zombie movies.

Marvels Comics went as far as getting their heroes infected and causing mayhem in their recent 'Marvel Zombies' saga.

And not to be out done... Even Rock Stars recent effort, Grand Theft Auto 4 isn't safe. I thought that, like the San An game before it, some yahoo would eventually make a mod to add zombies to the mix. But it seems Rock Star can't wait...and have added em in any way. Read what i got in my mail this morning:


There is a virus sweeping through Grand Theft Auto IV turning many unsuspecting players into Zombies. If you’ve seen the special Zombie-with-yellow-briefs player skin running around during Grand Theft Auto IV multiplayer, then you may already know that the virus can be contracted in any and all multiplayer modes and is spread when an unsuspecting player kills someone who has the infection (note that the infected don’t necessarily have to be wearing the Zombie skin, some show no symptoms!). The signs of infection are: access to the zombie skin and having the Achievement “Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie”. With the all-new Viral Infection feature at the Rockstar Social Club, members can now see whether they are currently infected, the number of total global infections and the number of infections in the last 24 hours. Digging deeper, Social Club members can also browse a color-coded world map tracking the spread of the infection worldwide, including breakdown for all 50 US States.

On a side note: Not every one in WoW is currently happy with the recent Zombie out Break. 1UP had a very interesting article about it which you can find here.

Edit: On the same day I wrote this post, The gaming news site Kotaku had an article which was titled Zombies+Anything=Awesomer. The article very briefly talks about how the next Call of Duty game has a Zombie mode at the end of it.
