Rising From The Dead - Lance Icarus

I apologize for the complete lack of comic last week. We got hit with a sort of "week from hell" and the comic, along with a few other things, suffered. No excuses, we screwed up. All we can do is beg for forgiveness. If you've forgiven us, we appreciate it. Now to talk about the zombies in gaming.

Writing this comic turned out harder than I imagined. For starters, it was difficult finding a genre that didn't already have the undead. One of the Smackdown vs Raw games had zombie wrestlers for crying out loud! The irony is that this comic made me believe that there are WAY too many zombies in games. It's so convenient to plop them down in a game to act as bullet fodder that the whole idea of zombies has become stagnant. Now there's some irony: The symbolism of rampant consumerism in Dawn of the Dead has become a fad that's saturating the market.

Have a great week!
