I went to see 28 days later and was so impressed that I wanted to make up some comics about it, so i did. I wanted to do 28 comics but let's be honest, is there anyone besides maybe Kaufman or Kajun who you'd like to read 28 of their comics? Me neither, so here's 15.

I didn't see the movie, but I loved the comic series. Very nice work.

I loved your comics and loved the movie.

If you haven't seen "28 Days Later", go rent or buy it now, it's the greatest non-Lord of the Rings film I've seen in years.

Also, it contains a scene with a Grandaddy track. Who are also excellent.

Good work mmyers, you rock.

Great series. I was impressed you stuck pretty close to the movie as well.

Glad you cats dug it. I was a little self conscious about posting a series after seeing so many good ones.

Hey Kajun, is there really a Grandaddy song in there? That's so cool for them, if so. By the by, if you like lowfi, see if you can find some Trunk Federation. They're on Merge records and are sort of a Flaming Lips/ Archers of Loaf mix. Fun. I'd send you some if I had the ability to burn CDs but I don't.

Yeah, when the group of "Norms" all go into a supermarket and run around stocking up on supplies, "A.M 180" from "Under the Western Freeway" plays, a tear almost came to my eye in the cinema.

Trunk Federation shall be checked out by the end of the week, I have more money than sense at the moment.

I hope brad doesn't read that.

This series rocked. Almost as much as the movie. I love horror movies that break the cliches. In most zombie movies, you could easily outrun the zombies if you just briskly walk. In 28 days, they had to actually *run*.

I thought the theatrical ending was weak though. I mean, WTF? Even the alternate ending I saw on the DVD was highly weak. Slightly less so than the original, but still lacking.

Though, I am still a little miffed that everyone's going for the whole "Zombies are really just infected with a virus" thing. I guess it'll pass.

I loved the film sooo much when I saw it that I had to make comics about it. Alot of folks I know slammed it because it wasn't a 'traditional' horror flick but I thought they did a brilliant job of it. Strong characters, strong actors, and a good story. Did you watch the story boarded ending on the DVD? Now that was just weird.

I look at Dawn of the Dead as the US version of the film with more traditional horror stuff in it, but still very enjoyable. I considered doing Dawn of the Dead in comic form too but felt I couldn't do enough with it. Maybe I'll do it anyway.

That was awesome! I'm not a big serial fan but that worked great. Funny stuff. It's tough to take a series all over the place successfully with the limited images available but you nailed it.

I'm also a big zombie movie fan. Loved 28 days and the new Dawn of the Dead. I have Shaun of the Dead at home via NetFlix but my wife hates the undead action so I've gotta wait 'till she's outa the house to watch it. I kinda hope they remake Day of the Dead. It was my favorite in the series.

This is probably my favorite series of your's, mmyers. Great strips based on a great film.

I reread the series and realized that I peaked about a year and a half ago. I need to figure out what I was eating back then.
