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, after considerable thought, the ZRC has decided to purchase ‘Survival of the Dead’ on Xbox Live as a digital rental of some sort.

The Zombie Rights Campaign, as previously announced on this blog, journeyed 400 miles to the South last week to visit The Dark Carnival film festival and spread the good word about Zombie Rights. After a day off to recuperate, our office is [...]

First, the ZRC would like to apologize for the relative paucity of updates over the last two days. Things have been an utter madhouse. We have had some camera issues that have led to a delay in posting a lot of great first-hand documentation of our struggle for Zombie Equality here in Bloomington. Thursday night [...]

Anti-zombie prejudice has many ugly forms, and comes from many sources. Television, comic books, literature. Can there be any doubt, however, as to the source of the worst and ugliest stereotypes about the differently animated? I refer of course, to the ‘Zombie Movie’. Even amongst zombie movies, with their gore and violence and lifeism, one [...]
