If you’re going to talk about zombies, there’s a complicated hurdle that has to be crossed nearly immediately. What kind of zombies are you facing? Nearly every film or book has their own take on it. A lot of that is authors just trying to be original. Hell, if I wrote a zombie book, I’d have a slightly different twist on it. (in fact, maybe I already do!) Frankly, chances are they’re all wrong. Let me explain. Someday, when a zombie outbreak actually happens, is every zombie going to be the same? Based on the extremely diverse genetics of each individual, probably not. And if one happens, and we survive it as a species, whose to say the next one will be the same. Odds are it will be a little different. Just look at diseases as they exist today. There are thousands of strains of any type of disease. That’s what makes the potential for a zombie outbreak so exciting! An outbreak one week won’t be the same as the next one! Therefore, it’s important to identify what type of zombies you’re dealing with on the outset. It’s the whole “knowing your enemy” enemy situation. I hear people say “knowing is half the battle”. In my opinion, it’s more like ninety percent.
