Seriously, has no one read World War Z? Max Brooks is even doing an AMA next week, I'm assuming he'll get asked about this show if he's watched it. Here's an abridged audiobook which is at least as enjoyable to listen to as this show is to watch.

Dude, stfu with that "well what happens in the comics is..." crap. Particularly revealing the destiny of the main character. People would be so pissed if I went into the Game of Thrones thread and wrote something like "Well if it follows the books, Lord Soandso won't die."
