To which I can only say:
w00t!
I'm firmly a Bronze Age kid, so I'm loving the return to a wider set of styles of comics. B:tB&tB is delighting me with bringing back characters from way way back in the day.
Maybe this zombie crap will go out of style soon (at the rate it's being pushed in every medium, probably so) and this will the last gasp *grr, argh* of it. We'll look back at Black Lanterns and P&P&Z and think "Oh, that's sooo 2009."
It'd be nice to get back to some heroics, some colors other than black and gray, some time of day other than night. Maybe an occasional laugh or two! (in a comic book? that's crazy talk)

Glad to see they're THINKING about what to do with them AFTER they decide to hop on the bandwagon, though.

@thefunnyone: DC does have Deadman. Boston Brand first showed up in'67. But the whole super undead thing is silly, ain't it?

Best I could do; apparently the Comics Code used to ban zombies.

Do any of you remember that it was that particular story in Green Lantern Corps Annual #2 in 1986 that got O'Neill's very art style BANNED by the Comics Code? "Too pointy & icky" they cried. That same year DC published Metalzooic, the first creator-owned book to come from DC, done by Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill. A beginnining of the end of that antiquated censorship bullshit.
But I digress.

Simon Garth sort've was a superhero zombie, he'd go zombie via the Amulet then do what he had to do. Check out the Marvel Essentials Tales of the Zombie book.
An alternate version of the Zombie joined Nick Fury's Howlin' Comandos.

@Dan Didio: How about Superman back in Action and Superman?
And what is up with Bruce Wayne?

The comics industry focuses on the collector subset of their readership at its peril, and the faster they move into digital formats as an alternative, the better. I think they'd probably see an increase in readership if they did that. I know they would with me.
I won't mess with the pirated versions available but Didio should know they exist and he should step-up and offer a legal alternative to those of us who would pay for it.

Online legal stuff does work, and I'd love to get me some Superman that way.
