So
dymphnawolf got her horror block today and there was a McFarlane builds kit in it showing the iconic scene from the walking dead Season 1, Episode 1: Days Gone By (or Issue 1 of the comic if you please). Since she's got about as much interest in the walking dead as I do in sorting toenail clippings she passed it along to me. It took about an hour to put together but i have to say it didn't let me down detail wise.

For me that's the strength of it. If it's just episode after episode of people running around smashing zombies you get the kind of stuff like The Asylum's Z Nation. With groups of survivors competing with each other or joining forces it makes for a lot of character development and that's what will give a series lasting power.
lol yeah i know, "opinions are like assholes: everyone has one and they're often full of shit" right?
But just to harp on the point needlessly, Dawn of the Dead (1978) was a very character driven film. It's regarded the world over as one of the best of the genre.
Compare that to something like Flesh Eater. Hardly anyone has ever heard of it, it's comprised of two antagonists who roam from location to location running into groups of cardboard cut out characters who are just introduces so zombies can maul them to death inside of 3 minutes. The antagonists escape. Wash, rinse, repeat. And it's boring beyond reason.
