I've run through my zombie survival plan a hundred times over in my head, but no other piece of zombie fiction has ever made me realize how fast my pussy self would perish in a zombie apocalypse than this one (which means that it's awesome, of course). Plenty of people know about this comic, but not enough are reading it. The best zombie stories are less about watching dudes blow undead dudes away (with guns...), and more about what happens when all threads of society are gone and humans are left to fend for themselves in some of the most bleak situations imaginable.
The Walking Dead can be relentlessly depressing at times and there are a few moments where the horror is so comically unbelievable that it distracts away from the amazing character study, but there is no better survival story than this one. Even if you're sick to death (or undeath?) of zombies, you owe it to your artistically good tastes to check this one out. And if you can't trust the suggestion of an anonymous white person's blog, then what can you trust?
Amazon link to buy the first 48 issues + a cool fan made opening for the TV adaptation (which I know will get much better in the second season).
