Overexposed. The world's been having a love affair with zombies for several years now. It's time to spend some time apart, I think. Maybe start seeing some other genres. Same goes for vampires.

That being said, Walking Dead from Image Comics is great. It's the zombie movie that never ends, to the point where it's not even about the zombies anymore.

I prefer the nuclear/chemical/biological/viral type to any sort of supernatural variety. I prefer the slow vs. the more recent trend of speedy zombies. The survival aspects are my main attraction, not the actual zombies themselves. If I pick up a novel and the zombies are magical/demon based and or intelligent (speaking, using weapons) I am probably not going to enjoy the book as a 'zombie' book.

I Agree with you, Rage Zombies and such are much to fast. What happend to those shamblers? For the surival aspect, it is fun to imagine what sort of plan you would hatch if the apocalypse was full of the walking dead xD

World War Z is a great book, I also liked Dead City by Joe McKinny - not to be confused with City of the Dead by Brian Keene, which was horrible.

Oh, but it is

2 Corinthians 5:14
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

World War Z is a great book

Is it starring none other?

Yeah, awesome. I've always been fascinated by the idea of a zombie apocalypse, and the scenarios that go with it, its why I've always been such a huge fan of the Resident Evil games (NOT THE FILMS.), slow shambling zombies are much better.

In my eyes, when they can run, or have intelligence in the slightest, it makes them more human, and therefore less threatening. Someone mentioned World War Z, another good book by the same author is the Zombie Survival Guide, written as a genuine survival guide, its pretty fun!

RE5 leaned towards retarded sometimes although it looked real cool.

Day by Day Armegeddon is another decent read. It's written as a diary. The character is _really_ prepared for survival, almost too much (he has russian submarine batteries charged by solar power, glass shard topped compound walls - and all of this before any hint at zombie outbreak). It comes off a bit like we are reading the author's personal fantasy.
