The Walking Dead was, to most of
us, a breakout summer TV series shown on AMC. More acute followers of the
horror genre may have known it in its original comic form. Both mediums are
impressive in their own right, but the comic more so in my opinion. I really
liked the art style because I feel like it gave the words attitude. The
format leads to smaller, more frequent interactions than TV does, and each of
these interactions has a tone of its own.
The character development is far superior on page then it is on the
screen. Each person is exactly and
specifically what they need to be, but nothing more. The interactions are limited to what fits in
a frame or series of frames. The American Gothic dissertation was interesting.
I hadn't noticed the specific phenomenon, but it is apparent when someone
points it out. The thought process is
solid, and well supported. It’s a very well written paper, but I wonder if
people humanize monsters because their imaginations are limited to a human frame
of reference. The way it was written was thought provoking and really pointed
out just how culturally significant zombies are in today’s day and age.
