zombies

I've never really liked zombie things, its wasn't a problem with gore, I just don't like zombies. The walking dead comic book, however, was interesting because it wasn't a small group of people running around shooting zombies, it was a small group of people sitting around talking and discussing their issues, waiting for the government to save them. It's surprising how willing everyone is to trust the government, but i guess that's their only hope and they don't want to let it go. The saddest character so far is Carl, which I don't like, because he's just a little kid.I'm not sure I want to read anymore after seeing how it left off, and knowing how many characters had already died. It is an interesting story, though, and I think its how survivors really would react in a zombie apocalypse.

A lot of the differences and similarities between zombies and vampires had already seemed fairly obvious to me, but it didn't occur to me that zombies had become a big thing because vampires needed something on the opposite end of the spectrum, though it makes sense. If vampires can't be scary anymore, we need something to replace them with. I wonder what will replace zombies?
