So like does the monkeys paw make it so they become a zombie but they end up getting double tapped by someone who’s not infected

Probably just the getting zombified since the comic doesn’t seem to portray any hostility to the zombies due to them being chill.

Lol, this is the plot of "I Am Legend" (Novel)

Edit: The "am" is capitalized. That kinda upset me, too.

I really hated the movie version of I Am Legend. It completely missed the point of the book and instead makes a generic zombie film out of it.

The whole point is that the "zombies" (virus-mutated humans, to be more accurate) basically evolved into their own unique species and were living relatively normal, if not primitive lives.

The main character, who was still a human, regularly set traps, hunted them, and overall was a threat to their kind. He became their boogeyman; the scary legend that zombie parents told their zombie kids to keep them from wandering too far from safety. Hence, "I Am Legend."

The movie barely touched on this, instead focusing entirely on Will Smith and showing the barest hint of humanity left in the zombie creatures. If you watched the alternate ending version, at least.

The 1964 Vincent Price film, Last Man On Earth, is a much better adaptation. And is up for free on archive.org.

I second this. It actually pairs nicely after finishing the book if you have that "what do now" feeling. Really enjoyed this movie (though not as much as the book)

There are some Chinese webnovels that are sort of similar. Usually there's a human society that still exists through random superpower BS though.

Wouldn't hydration and increased oxygen flow just increase the speed of decay?

Maybe these zombies are like rabies or host controlling fungal infections and not dead

So they aren't dead, they can think to the point of being able to practice medicine, and they have free basic essentials? Either it's racist or they are commies.

Remember, the zombies weren't The Walking Dead, nor the biggest threat. Turns out we've had that problem all along even without zombies.

I watched the yoga drawing listening to Michael Jackson's Thriller in my head.

This is the US we're talking about. Most people here don't do the whole learning thing and believe the bullshit they're fed.

The zombie survival guide basically says that killing them all is a waste of time so your plan plan should be waiting until they decay. I take that guide very seriously
