If you’ve had a look at the film section here at Buzztown you’ll realise I like a bit of Zombie action now and again.
What’s that? you haven’t seen ‘Weekend of the Walking Dead’, well go watch it, I’ll wait here…..
…welcome back, crap isn’t it! Well maybe not bad for a first filmmaking attempt.
Anyway as I was saying, I likes me some Zombies movies, but always get a little sad at the end, because I want to know what happens to the heros after the credits roll.
Well that problem was solved the day I picked up The Walking Dead, by Image Comics. You see, this story doesn’t end, I guess it will one day, but for now, there are no plans to finish it up. In fact Issue #50 was the highest seller so far and has gone for a second print run. So its future looks good.
The Walking Dead is centered around a small-town police officer from Cynthiana, Kentucky, his family, and a number of other survivors who have banded together in order to survive after the world is overrun with zombies. As the series progresses, the characters become more developed, and their personalities shift under the stress of a zombie apocalypse. Fighting growing despair — and occasionally each other — the group searches for a secure location which they can finally call home.
The only problem with this book is that I can’t wait till the next issue each time. It’s very adictive. Volume 8 of the graphic novel has just come out and it’s on it’s way to me right now.
I highly recommend starting from the beginning and giving it a go. check it out here.
As previously stated, zombies rock. Short, zombie-related films are usually pretty bad (see the film section here at Buzztown for an example), so when a film like I Love Sarah Jane finds it’s way to Buzztown our quality control team start getting short of breath.
