The Zombies' Guide To Comic Con

The Zombies' Guide To Comic Con

Jun 19

[Yes, yes. I know. Blood from a stone and whatnot. – Jeff ]

This July in San Diego, when there’s no room in the hotels, the dead will walk the earth at the 2009 Comic Con International. For four days, the undead and the nerdy unwashed will shamble from panel to panel, comb through back-issue bins for the last crucial piece of their Darkhawk collections and clumsily assault cosplayers. Can’t tell the difference? Neither can we, but in case you’re a Romero-friendly con-goer that doesn’t know Tom Peyer from Tom Brevoort (Brevoort is plumper and therefore slower, wears a pork-pie hat) and can’t tell the difference between the Shield and the Fighting American (honestly, we’re stumped too, but Jack Kirby created one of them), our interns have created a handy guide to help you get the most out of your SDCC experience.

1. BRAINS

No matter what kind of comics or movies you like, zombies, there are plenty of braaaaains to be had.  Delicious braaains.  Argh.  Those sheltered fanboys and insecure fangirls won’t know what to do when you start tearing into one of their friends’ juicy skulls to eat those delicious braaaaaaains.

2. BRAAAAAAINS

While the geeks are debating what kind of zombie you are – fast or slow – you can get the drop on them and suck out their delectable gray matter.  You might even be able to eat a celebrity’s brain (If they have one, LOL M I RITE?!)!

3. TWILIGHT

Robert Pattinson is simply dazzling.  And he’ll be there.  If you’re close enough, you might be able to touch him, and what about Taylor Lautner?  I’m not sure if he’ll be there, but he probably will.  Team Jacob represent!  More like hungry FOR the wolf, if you take my meaning, and I think you might.  Rawr!  They are probably going to show some footage from New Moon and then everybody will freak out a bit.

4. BRAAAAAAINS

Argh.  Urr.  Brains.  Braaaaaains.  Urk.  BRAINS.
