Shiva finallynames the zombie virus: “The Walking Death.”
Not only does it sound terrifying, but itperfectly describes exactly what the virus actually does.
The American military has machine guns, things that can turn human beings into mulch in seconds.
Surely a single soldier with one Gatling gun could wipe out hundreds of zombies on their own.
Instead, Kirkman’s solution was simple and elegant.
Every single human is infected, and when they die, they will become a zombie.
There are thousands of deaths alone in America every single day for one reason or another.
Each one would be a new zombie, and that spread would be practically impossible to contain.
Anytime someone dies, they’ll become a new zombie.
It’s a fantastic idea to have all humans start by being infected.
Either way, fans finally know the true name behind the horror inThe Walking Dead.
The Walking Dead Deluxe#109is available now from Skybound Entertainment!
