Zombies

I enjoyed both the comic book and the paper. I thought it was interesting how the writer compared and contrast zombies and vampires. Although they lost me a bit when they talked about the connection between vampires and capitalists. Most vampires are from the feudal age right? For me, I always thought zombies were a bit more exciting that vampires and I would image this is true for most people. Zombie stories for the most part are stories of survival. There is no magic no real suspension of reality besides the dead coming back to life. Vampires, on the other hand, usually involve several types of supernatural powers like the ability to transform into a bat or inhumane strength. Another main reason I prefer zombies is all the characters in the story are Normal people like Rick, the main character, who are just trying to survive.  As for the comic book, The Walking Dead, I thought the writer achieved his goal of showing how people would act when society falls apart and the drama that surrounds the group of survives. One major change I did notice that was different in the comic from the T.V. show was the character Shane dies a lot earlier in the comic than the show.
