And not, the website, Corona Coming Attractions, has read the script for the first episode and…

They like it. A lot. From what they say, this is the real deal. They’ve taken everything that’s great about Kirkman’s story and translated it to the screen.

Now, why is this book so great? Well, for starters, it has all sorts of stats and background information on all kinds of undead monsters. Evil liches, skeletal armies, vampires and ghosts, just to name a few.

While this book provides tons of story hooks and potential encounters for D&D players, there are two things in here that I love and cannot wait to implement into my game.

1. Zombie Hoards. Yep, they give you tips and ideas on how to overwhelm your party with a seemingly non-stop fury of a hoard of zombies.
2. Zombie Plague. Now, after one of your players gets attacked by the zombies, there’s a possibility that they can become infected with the same hideous plague that brought them back to life. And if the player cannot reverse the effects, they die and are reborn a zombie. I love this!

And perhaps I will speak of this comic some more at a later date. But for now, I want to bring up some very exciting news:

The Walking Dead will soon be a television series on the AMC network! With Frank Darabont as the driving force behind the show – acting as writer, director and executive producer!

This is guaranteed to be appointment viewing, so keep your eyes peeled to the screen – this will be something that needs to be seen!

(sadly, no word on when the series will actually air yet, but we’ll post more as word gets out)

The New Yorker.

LITERALLY taking a page from Jane Austin’s classic novel, Seth Grahame-Smith has updated Pride and Prejudice for a new age. This new version leaves Austin’s novel intact but adds additional scenes of zombie carnage and mayhem. It also includes new illustrations that match the illustrations from the original edition – albeit a little more bloody.

Buy (or Pre-Order) it now.

Well, that’s what Joss is hoping will be the case…

Zombies Calling by Faith Erin Hicks

In Zombies Calling, by Faith Erin Hicks, a group of college students have to fight their way through hordes of flesh-eating zombies. Fortunately, our heroine, a fan of zombie films, knows the rules. And she has a spork. But will it be enough to save her?

I can’t say that I’ve read most (any?) of these, but they do have fairly good star-ratings on Amazon. I’ll leave it to you to decide. I’ve included part of the descriptions from Amazon for the first three just to give you a taste.

1. Thunder and Ashes (The Morningstar Strain)
   Product Description: The Morningstar Virus, an incredibly virulent disease, has swept the face of the planet, infecting billions. Its hosts rampage, attacking anything that remains uninfected.
2. Blood Crazy
   Product Description: “Saturday night in April, every adult human being on this planet” goes mad and begins murdering everyone under 19
3. Plague of the Dead (The Morningstar Strain)
   Product Description: The end begins with a viral outbreak unlike anything mankind has ever encountered before. The infected are subject to delirium, fever, a dramatic increase in violent behavior, and a one-hundred percent mortality rate.
   Death.
   But it doesn’t end there. The victims return from death to walk the earth.
4. Among Madmen
5. The Undead: Flesh Feast (Zombie Anthology)
6. The Brain Eaters
7. The Undead: Skin and Bones (Zombie Anthology)
8. Cell: A Novel
9. The Undead: Zombie Anthology
10. The Dark

You can view the rest of the list here: Books featuring Fast Moving Zombies and visit Permuted Press and see what they have to offer.

The novel tells the story of the war between zombies and humans, from the perspective of those who lived through it. This could potentially be a challenging script to work from, as the main action of the story occurs “off-screen”, so to speak. The novel is, as the title says, an oral history, told 10 years after the conflict.

Well, in my opinion, any movie about zombies deserves the benefit of the doubt. I look forward to this hitting theaters.
