It's terrific stuff - gory, chilling and visceral but incredibly human too. I reckon you'd really like it, Phill. I haven't seen the first episode of the TV show yet but am very much looking forward to it – Frank Darabont's The Mist is probably my favourite horror film of the last five years which augurs well. <br /><br />Agree on Dexter - it gets better and better. I still haven't seen the final three episodes of season four, though - that's my treat for the weekend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040171836006141706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979663737404474935.post-83980763004747936232010-11-03T18:01:14.085+00:002010-11-03T18:01:14.085+00:00The cause of the zombie plague isn't explained...The cause of the zombie plague isn't explained in the comic — at least not up to #50 when I lost interest — as Kirkman is keen to point out that it's not about the zombies, it's about the survivors, and how they deal with the end of the world. The long-form nature of the series means he can explore these reactions in a less hurried and condensed way than the usual zombie film does. The cause of the zombie apocalypse has no bearing on the day-to-day lives of the survivors — so he says anyway — and so it's not addressed.<br /><br />I would guess that the TV series won't be able to resist explaining it all.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.com
