Speaking of comics, found a bunch of Invincible back issues at Minotaur the other day. Bought them all, and got a copy of The Walking Dead's first trade. After reading it I'm really disappointed Kirkman's got an exclusive contract with Marvel. Alan Moore's totally the master of the comic panel, but nobody does pacing better than Kirkman. That's one thing I'm loving the most about Invincible: each issue stands on its own, but each issue also fits together into a bigger arc which then fit together into the year-long storylines, and then there's the overall story about Mark's development and the development of the Invincible Universe. It's just so much fun.
But yeah, The Walking Dead is really cool. It's more like Night of the Living Dead, which is incidentally available free online in the public domain so there's no excuses for not having seen it, than say, any of the Evil Deads. It's about what the characters do to each other while the zombies force them together. There's scenes where people talk about things like how nice it is to be using a laundry detergent.
And the art is just black inked lines, and works really well. One thing that's different from zombie movies are the flies and the maggots. All the zombies are covered in both. There's lots of gaping eyesockets covered with flies. That's something that's gross as hell to look at but makes sense when you think about it.
