Hi! Please don't forget to label your posts with the date the reading is due and your name and last name. So, for example, for the first blog post I would label my post with these two tags "09/11/2014" and "Ali Bolcakan" [without the quotes of course].

The Walking Dead

For my final essay I will be discussing how The Walking Dead has become a staple for zombie tv shows and how it has developed into such a big franchise. By analyzing the video game, comic book, and the tv show I plan on describing what made The Walking Dead so popular and what about it makes it such a compelling and thought provoking program. Instead of simply focusing on the gore and the grotesque I will explore the psychological and mental aspect of the show and how it describes what can happen to people's emotional well-being after a major apocalypse occurs. Lastly, I want to also look into the differences between the comic book and the tv show and hypothesize why the tv show decide to add/exclude certain key characters and what it did to not stray away too much from the comic. I also want to examine what makes the zombie genre as a whole so popular.

    I really like where you are going with this essay because I think that I am heading in that general direction as well. I think that maybe you should also consider looking at other zombie publications so that it will provide you with other sources to compare this great franchise to.
