Well, I am developing a zombie apocalyptic comic story further down the line. Though, it's definitely laced with a lot of cosmic horror elements. Like, the root cause was never from humans but from something beyond the stars.
And for this story, I'm really developing the effects the infection has on victims. What do victims feel when they're turned? Can they still keep any of their memories? Do they FEEL their memories/logic slipping away?
I like the idea of having more than just mindless zombies in the sense that they are aware of what they're doing but just can't stop. Kinda makes the horror that much more terrifying. I probably won't dive too much into the whole "humans suck too -- they become maniacs when everything falls".
Like, yeah, that's true, but it's been kinda...done to death (heh). So I just wanna focus a bit more on the source of the zombie invasion and how it turns its victims. Nothing completely sympathetic or heart-wrenching. Still want it to be scary, after all
