So I waded into the pile of Zombie media we have to review and picked up the fourth collection of Zombie Tales, entitled ‘This Bites’. Appropriate enough, on the whole. This volume has a number of acclaimed writers slumming in the field of Zombie-bashing comics, including one, Kim Krizan, who’s been nominated for an Oscar [...]

On the one hand, it’s fascinating to see this American Sign Language translated youtube video; click on the lower right corner for a Closed Caption option that re-translates the ASL back into English in real time so you can see the differences in structure between ASL and English. Very fascinating, very cool implementation. On the [...]

The ZRC picked up a copy of Rich Burlew’s Start of Darkness, a prequel story/book to his popular webcomic ‘The Order of the Stick‘, while on a recent trip to the local game store here in Madison to acquire the grey-green dice to play Zombie Cafe.

Well, the ZRC went out this last weekend for a public appearance, to see the Saturday show at the High Noon Saloon here in icy Madison, Wisconsin, featuring as it did ‘Dead Man’s Carnival’. From a Zombie Rights perspective, the name was a bit of a misnomer; there didn’t appear to be anyone there who [...]

Well, I finally got my copy of Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth #6 (stupid holiday weekend, stupid shipping). Honestly, this is a bit of a filler issue. It’s funny enough, with your zany Deadpool antics and Z-Pool continues in his wacky, but ultimately heroic, quest to return home to the Zombieverse and prevent himself from [...]
