PARAGRAPHWith fans looking forward to the series' second arc, "War", the news broke in late April that The Extinction Parade has also been optioned for TV development by Legendary Entertainment. As Brooks reveals in this interview with Bleeding Cool, he's a careful scripter, planning out each arc well ahead of time, so the story is poised in evolve at a carefully chosen pace. Readers are soon to be introduced to the whole concept of what war might mean in a world where a vampire elite are being threatened by the sheer force of a massive, spreading population of zombies threatening their status in the food-chain by removing their prey from the equation step by step. For Brooks, the ideas in The Extinction Parade all have real-world ramifications as modern human beings lose their survival skills and become heavily dependent on assumptions that may not always be true-like our own status as a dominant species. Max Brooks speaks with us here at Bleeding Cool about his own brand of geekdom, writing across mediums, and exactly what his grand plans are behind The Extinction Parade: War , accompanied by artwork from the upcoming arc.
