Infinity: Chronicles of Nick Theme of Violence

Human history is fraught with violence. There has probably never been a moment when humans across the globe have been at peace. But it's been a few decades since the last World War, so maybe humans are becoming more peaceful.

Cue zombies. Zombies aren't concerned with humanitarian efforts or peaceful protests. In Infinity, they want to devour other people in the most grotesque ways possible. They make a great enemy: real world wars have people who believe both sides are the "good" guys, but zombies are always the "bad" guys. At least until a Zombie Rights Campaign surfaces, if there isn't one on Tumblr already.
