The comic I'm working on itself wouldn't be Halloween theme. Zone of the Dead is just a Halloween theme idea I had.

I think Sega should really do more with House of the Dead series, such as a FPS special. But since it was made to make money in arcade and given arcades are usually noisy, they don't bother with the possible scare factors how or independant of a series it can become.

HotD zombies are not my favourate kind of zombies but certainly have my respect on how original they are. They are rather inteligent enough such as to wield various weapons than traditional mindless zombies can't comprehend, such as chainsaws. My guess is that Formula X doesn't cause the zombies to become completely mindless but instead induce homocidal tendacies towards the non-infected. Instead of "Uuuugh~ brains~" which they don't seem to care of, they're more like "That f**ker is alive! Kill him!"
