The trailer for the Walking Dead’s next half-season is out, and as expected, the Zombie-co-existing Whisperers are the officially designated Next Enemy. Obviously a disappointing turn of events, Zombie Rights-wise. There will no doubt be a lot of blood, and ichor, spilled, and a lot of extremely morally dubious choices made by the alleged heroes [...]

Well, they finally did it (or did they?). AMC’s flagship show promoting Undead Intolerance has boldly moved into the future. The subjective future of their characters anyway.

Episode 2 opens with Kelly’s boyfriend Riq being thrust into the alleged Zombie apocalypse (the ZRC strongly disputes this traditional framing). Also, dealing with mass transit during a significant social upheaval. More below the cut.

Reality Television. Anti-Zombie media. Two of the biggest and most widely criticized pop-culture phenomena of the last few decades (although, in the Zombie case, we feel rarely for the proper reasons). What would happen if you were to.. combine.. the two?

The penultimate episode of ‘The Walking Dead’s much lamented seventh season had an opportunity to branch out, to be truly different, even inspiring to the Differently Animated community. Instead, well. It went somewhere else. More below the cut.

This week’s The Walking Dead has your quota of skulking in the shadows well and truly filled. But first, a training montage! More below the cut.
