Season 4.5 is nearly upon us and we're excited to see what happens with the group all separated and vulnerable. This episode join Karen, Jason, and special guests Kirk Manley and Jeff Marsick, artist and writer of the insane zombie adventure comic Z Girl and the 4 Tigers, as we talk about all our hopes for the upcoming episodes (the guys' hopes generally involving gore, death, and extreme suffering, and Karen's involving picturesque zombieless islands and togetherness). As a special bonus, Kirk and Jeff give some great and sometimes surprising recommendations for zombie comics they think you should be reading, and we give you the latest news, read your emails, and yes, after three and a half years of podcasting, Karen and I finally reveal how we met. Don't miss it! Oh yeah, and don't forget to enter our new contest to win a Kirk-Manley-illustrated Walking Dead Hawaii poster and the first four issues of Z Girl!
