Pretty impresive!

Everyone should go play Telltale's Walking Dead game. It is leaps and bounds better than both the show and the comic.

I didn't realize there were any zombies on The Walking Dead that weren't killed by a single gunshot to the exact center of the forehead.

I want to see all the deaths.
I'm surprised there are only 350-odd.
Seems like there should be more*.

Who dreams this stuff up and decides to do it?

You forgot T-Dog already?
He got less gun time than he did speaking time.

One of the first zombies Rick had to kill, the female with half a body (in the upper right corner of the infograph), got a backstory in the Torn Apart Webisodes

I was honestly thinking of going to AskMe to ask how many zombies have been killed on The Walking Dead. This is cool.

Man, I miss the tension and pacing of the early episodes.

Rick coming around a corner in (what we were led to believe was deserted) downtown to face a mass of silent undead was so powerful. And the scene where Rick and Glenn cover themselves in gore and shamble through the walkers was great. I remember the "oh, shit" moment when I realized what the rain meant for them.

The game by Telltale is really great, but I don't think I'd call it leaps and bounds better than the books or tv show. I hold all three in high esteem, but see the game as a solid companion, but not categorically better. I'd have to go comics > tv show > video game.

So, the fact that way more zombies are male than female:
From a feminist standpoint, is that a good thing (avoiding problematic depictions of male on female violence, which carries more baggage than male on male or female on male violence), or a bad thing (ignoring the fact that women make up half the population)?

Huh. I'd have thought it was relatively 50/50.
Never noticed.

(avoiding problematic depictions of male on female violence)

They have gone out of their way to avoid that. So far as I have seen (and I am one ep behind) the Governor doesn't nearly enjoy as much sexual violence as he does in the comic.
