The map of zombies

Zombies are complicated. There's an order to them, a canon: some can run, some can't, some are from the grave, others the product of a virus. It's not all about brains.

For those unacquainted with the intricacies of the dead (and undead) it can all get a bit confusing. Thankfully, American comic artist Jason B. Thompson has created The Map of Zombies to help navigate the world of flesh-eaters (and non-flesh-eaters).

Taking its design cues from classic medical posters, the map identifies the zombies of over 350 films, games, TV shows and books - starting with the superb opening question, "Shoot them in the chest with a shotgun. Do they die?".

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
