I mean, it’s not like they’re making an unholy mint with The Walking Dead, right? Apparently not: In Judith’s short life, the street smart punk has already proved to be a survivor, but now she’ll have to fight to remain the last one standing! It’s 1984 – Reaganomics are in full swing, Herbie Hancock ruled [...]

Well, apparently you get ‘Knights of the Living Dead’: Now he’s teamed with writer Ron Wolfe for Knights of the Living Dead, a story that brings zombies to Camelot. [...]

I’d heard about this at some point in the past but it’s out now and apparently pretty ghastly for the Differently Animated: The comic Daybreak is a field trip through the zombie apocalypse Brian Ralph’s graphic novel Daybreak takes a phenomenological approach to survivalist horror. Like the participant in a pick-a-path novel, the reader is [...]

Well, as if we hadn’t already sussed out the band Anthrax’s vicious Anti-Zombie prejudice, there’s this news item to prove it: Metal band Anthrax is set to release their new album ‘Worship Music’ on September 13th. The first single from the record is called ‘Fight em Till You Can’t’ and was written about battling a [...]

We brought you news here on the ZRC blog before about a Minnesota public library’s tragic decision to use its position in the community to spread Anti-Zombie prejudice to children. That was a ghastly story and quite shocking. Horrifyingly, it seems to be only one instance.. of a trend: There have been unconfirmed reports of [...]

‘Mars Needs Moms’ was a beloved children’s book that was adapted into a spectacularly poorly received animated film, released earlier this year in March. You may not have heard of the movie, and odds are you certainly did not see it; no one at the ZRC has either, although our Cultural Historian Andrew Leal was [...]

I strongly deny the implication that violence in the media directly leads to violence in real life, whether from videogames, film or books; to say the evidence is weak would be the understatement of the century.

A spinoff book. A set of ridiculously creepy busts. An Anti-Zombie board game. Yes, ‘The Walking Dead’ is descending on Comic-Con like a plague of ravenous locusts, determined to destroy all compassion toward the Differently Animated as well as, perhaps, all of Western Civilization. They’re ambitious that way. AMC is helpfully even providing you with [...]

You know, there are few depths to which I’m surprised to see Living Supremacists stoop these days, but something about this promo video for ‘The Walking Dead’ Season 2 and the cast appearance at Comic-Con still managed to offend me: Is it just me, or is there a serious subtext in this video of mocking [...]
