A: Well, can’t it be both?

However as for zombies and US paramilitary wing-a-lings, this isn’t new territory. Romero digested the interstices of fascism and zombies twenty-five years ago in Day of the Dead (1985), one of his more ambitious efforts in chomp-chomp land. I’m pleased someone else now has taken up the cudgel.

Blackwater or zombies? You mean there’s a difference?

In a nutshell, Blackwater stooges are more evil than brain eating zombies.

I’d rather get killed by zombies than a bunch of evil, corporatist fucks any day.

Now, who would I rather kill??? [cough] I’ll stop here.

1) Evil punching-bag bugaboo corporation is evil.
2) There’s nothing new under the sun.

Yawn!

A: Zombies. At least they’ll appreciate my brains.

and i’m really glad that there’s some zombie genre fiction out there that doesn’t have a total jones for the military industrial complex (cough, max brooks, cough cough). but it really took 25 years to move from “the last remnants of the military hold a few survivors underground in an authoritarian stranglehold and it sucks” to “the last remnants of a privatized defense firm hold a few survivors above ground in an authoritarian stranglehold and it sucks”?

because dang, Day Of The Dead came out before i learned to walk, and even zombies advance faster than that.

so way to go ben tripp. e’erbody else, step your game up!

Magatha, who lives near San Francisco, but keeps her distance from the Transamerica Pyramid, on account of the helicopter thing.

Also, my answer is No. Furthermore, Gina Valence: I’d gladly be on your team for the Zombacolypse.

“Like in The Walking Dead?”

In addition, how are trigger-happy private security mercenaries much different from trigger-happy soldiers, in this scenario? Which leads me to think “Like in 28 Days Later?”, “Like in Day of the Dead?” etc…

Either that, or it’s just redundant in an effort to… I don’t know. Be chilling? Again?

Thanks for your input. We’re all glad you took the time to waste your time to tell everyone you just wasted your time.

I’m sure there’s a novel to be written about the government paying a company to provide ‘security’ … knowing full well that not only is the company another of Blackwater, sorry, Xe’s endless front companies, but that it’s subcontracting work to zombies in order to save money.

“Frankly, senator, I understand your reservations. But we do find that employing the respiratorily-challenged … we prefer not to use the term ‘undead’ … does allow us to adopt a competitive salary structure that makes our offering compelling in the world of cost-plus contracts.”

“By ‘competitive salary structure’, do you mean that you allow these … these things … to eat the brains of those that they kill?”

“I’m not at liberty to discuss the details of our bonus scheme, senator. That’s a contract issue between the company and its employees. But I can confirm that we do operate an incentive program that rewards performance.”

That’s Half-life’s plot.

A: No

Hey video game makers. I’d much rather headshot Blackwater mercs than more freaking zombies. Those are getting a bit old.

I have no doubt “Rise Again” is a fine piece of fiction.

Blackwater turned New Orleans into a profiteer’s haven after Katrina, a nightmare world of shoot-to-kill? Truth is, contractors with supplies to help rebuild soaked a lot of the money for aid. Just one opinion from a girl that lived in the area, during ground zero. Peace
