When I watched that, I thought it was vaguely familiar.

Then I saw the credits and realized it's based on Image Comics who's graphic novel I read awhile ago. :oops:

The little girl zombie freaked me out. You can tell he's having a hard time pulling the trigger.

All the zombies in my zombie fic have been adult sized.

I just saw the trailer for this. I'll have to find some way of watching it; it looks really good. (And apparently Bear McReary is behind the soundtrack on this).

Me thinks you could introduce a subplot on that theme alone. You could take it lots of different places with some fresh ideas born of youthful zombies.

On AMC I doubt it.

I'm kinda looking forward to seeing how they handle this over the course of the series.
