Not everything zombie is good

While I love a good play on the zombie genre as much as the next cutesy girl, I have to say that it saddens me how much the craze has gotten out of hand. It was bad enough when my beloved Hello Kitty did a horrible, not-even-cute-scary version of an HK Zombie. But as I was in the bookstore the other day I ran across the abomination.

Honestly, does this even make sense? And yes, we are assuming that zombies can, in fact, exist. Haven't you seen the  CDC report that says so? But how can a superhero like Spider Man or the Hulk be zombified?

Spiderman was bitten by a radioactive spider and assumed the powers he has today. If a zombie bit Spiderman, wouldn't it too be infected with "spidey sense" and the ability to shoot webbing from its hands? Would a zombie-infected Hulk be any less able to smash than he already does? Or will he just lose bits and pieces of himself as he crashes into buildings until one day he's degraded down to nothing? And just imagine if Wolverine was infected. His regenerative qualities would be spreading that virus like wildfire. You have to wonder which would run out first? The rapid regeneration of the zombie virus or his body's ability to rebuild its own cells. Or would the zombie virus just revert him to a normal man filled with adamantine... and then what? Does his body explode or something?

This comic, while I admit I just glanced at it, seems like a retarded installment aimed to make money off of a growing culture that some of us actually enjoy. Sadly, I think more and more people are just picking up and buying anything that has the word zombie, regardless of whether the item in question is either intelligent or fun. And there are so many instances of this happening out there, it just disappoints me.

Please people. If you're going to do zombies, do it with some sense. Not just to be cool like the rest of them.
