When Words Collide: Zombie Landscaping

Did Robert Kirkman leave Marvel and craft a hastily-produced manifesto because he couldn't tell a multi-year serialized story in which Mary Jane learned to use a katana to defend NYC from an attacking zombie horde?

Probably not.

But he's pretty damn good at long-form serialized storytelling, and after spending the last couple of weeks devouring the nine collected volumes of "The Walking Dead," I realize how completely idiotic I've been for ignoring this series for all of these years.

It's really good.

So join me in this week's "When Words Collide" column as I explore the subtle nuances of "Zombie Landscaping."
