Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

How about one that diverts expectations?
Like, instead of slow zombies, you get fast ones. Faster than they could run before. Maybe even faster than some vehicles. Because they don't feel pain.
And instead of dumb zombies, they are smart. They set traps, use tools. Maybe even drive cars.
Shooting the brain also does nothing. You got to shoot them in the ass since that is the way the parasite entered the body and how they communicate with the hive.
And like all the zombie preppers die-out quickly because they think the zombies will react like the ones from Hollywood. So they think they can play the hero while being outsmarted by fast zombies.
Humanity would not last long, and afterwards the world is populated entirely by a zombie civilization that looks eerily similar to our own but like better.
World War Z - fast
Reanimator - smart
The Return of the living dead - immune to headshots, make traps
Dreamcatcher - Alien Ass Parasites
Zombieland - unlikely survivors
I don't think you're as original as you think you are, pal. Good luck on your screenplay go, sounds like a great time.
I'll try, the billionaires figure out a serum that let's them live forever but forces them to consume human flesh which becomes, with automatisation, one of the few ways to make a living for the filthy non-billionaires who decided not to be born rich.
You're just describing vampires/peter theil, except flesh now.
Is that fiction?
Fiction imitates life.
Thats a really good original plot, the closest thing to that would be Daybreakers 2009 but it's not very similar.
None of those depict an after-the-apocalypse world run by smart zombies, though.
I like it. Let's do that. But then the twist happens.
The super fast super genius zombies get infected. And now they have to survive in a apocalyptic post-apocalyst. Directed by M Night.
