Letter from the Editor By Stacy Burt Five years ago, we weren’t sure what was going to happen to humanity. The zombie outbreak in Willamette, Colorado was a wakeup call like nothing else the world has ever seen. Science fiction had come to life. Zombies were real, and they were on the prowl. Were we just going to sit there and get chomped? I think not. We had the technology and the know-how to take control of zombification. Just like we handled every other highly infectious disease, we took the necessary steps to contain the threat, and with the introduction of Zombrex, our lives have returned to normal. Zombies are still around, but they’ve become a part of our everyday lives. Sometimes we hear about an outbreak in some less fortunate town, but this grand city likes to keep its zombies in the arena. You may have heard about a little show called Terror is Reality. The success of TiR has sent zombies to the top of our pop culture charts. Everyone’s aiming to get a look at the infected firsthand. Fashion has been heavily influenced (see “Does This Make Me Look Dead?”), nightlife has been given a new spectacle (see “Night Time Visitors”), and even dating has taken a new turn (see “Five Ways to Tell If Your Date Is Infected”). This month, we at ZQ look at the latest in zombie trends and interview local celebrities and new kids on the block to give us the lowdown on what to really expect from a zombie encounter, and how they have used the zombie phenomenon to find success.
