I apologize for not getting these up sooner, but… well, the why isn’t important. I have been negligent in my duties as a Zombie Rights advocate and I apologize. The next two items come to us from the very personable, and apparently somewhat repentant Mr. Fred Van Lente, who was kind enough to donate a [...]

(As I finished unpacking stuff from our recent move here at ZRC headquarters I rediscovered a huge pile of Zombie and Zombie-related media, good and bad, that never got reviewed the first time around. So over the next few weeks, leading up to the auction, reviewing some of this stuff seems like a good way [...]

Well, we here at the ZRC have been very pleased this week. The auction preparations are going great, donations are coming in left and right, and we seem to have entered into a productive dialogue with Ask Dr. Eldritch vis a vis Zombie Rights and negative stereotypes regarding Zombie odors. Don’t worry, Mr. Nichols. Your [...]

So the ZRC gave a recommendation in our Media Resources documentation to Ask Dr. Eldritch, due primarily to the secondary storyline which deals with a group of Zombies trying to make a living in a typical white-collar workplace, dealing with all your normal white-collar issues – saving up vacation, dealing with unreasonable deadlines, having a [...]

Adorable Zombie urchin? That’s our gimmick… err…. angle? Blast. At any rate, there’s another new zombie comic to consider, the aforementioned ‘The Littlest Zombie’, being published by Antarctic Press, created by artist/author Fred Perry. This comic is told from the perspective of a young and perpetually hungry zombie child making his way in the Post-Apocalypse. [...]

Another Zombie comic that the ZRC can approve? Could it be true? It is indeed! For once we have sequential art about Zombies without a shambling horde of brain-munching illiterates tearing down civilization, and the ZRC could not be happier. ‘I, Zombie’ is a new ongoing title being published by Vertigo, and concerns the daily [...]

Just a short post here to say ‘Hi’ to all our visitors who will hopefully be arriving from ads on Dr. McNinja, Skin-Horse, The Zombie Hunters and so forth. Welcome all. Though we might not always agree on everything Zombie-related (especially with, say, Zombie Hunters fans) we here at the Zombie Rights Campaign hope that [...]

Aha, Fred Van Lente, we meet again. Have at you, sir! So, Marvel Zombies 5 has kicked off in a much more low-key fashion than the big Marvel Zombies alternate-universe-extravanganza ‘Marvel Zombies Return’. So low-key I entirely missed the first issue coming out. Oopsie! Bad activist, bad! Ahem. Ok. MZ-5 picks up as a sequel [...]

Reviews of a bunch of Zombie comics I picked up at the local comic shop over the weekend will be going up soon; Marvel Zombies 5 is out, and there are a couple of new Indie comics about Zombies that will bear paying closer attention to. Meanwhile, I haven’t commented much on the now-ending DC [...]

So the latest comic from nerd-tastic XKCD contains a take on the traditional Zombie Pandemic scenario: As you can see, Randall Munroe has decided to show his true lifeist colors with this heartless display of anti-Zombie violence, but also note how closely he adheres to several outdated Zombie stereotypes. Zombies are created in a laboratory [...]
