I can't tell how the zombie shown in the top left is meant to be different from the zombies at the bottom. I'd like to suggest replacing that part of the image with something more distinct, like maybe a "mutated" zombie.

Potential suggestions:

1 - Left 4 Dead Smoker statue

2 - The Last of Us concept art

Opened. I'd lean more toward 1.2 pending other ideas.

Keep the current or make a new collage. There's nothing about the cordyceps zombie from The Last Of Us that screams "Zombie" just from its appearance alone.

I can tell from the current image from their body language that we're looking at an undead shambler, a magical zombie, and an Technically-Living Zombie still capable of sprinting.

[up] That's a good point. In that case, let's swap the first panel for something that's obviously dead; the person in the background makes it pretty clear that's a cosplayer.

If you have a suggestion, post it here. I'm OK with the current one.

Even clearer with the Voodoo Zombie, so sure.[tup]

[up][up][tup] though I would clarify what each type of zombie actually is, and reference their origin in a note like most tropes do.

11, with the caption redone like DRCEQ suggested, is good. [tup]

^ The bottom ones are Technically Living Zombies, does that invalidate the punchline?

The clock's up and we've definitely got consensus for 11, so it's in and tagged. I've put up the suggested tweak to the caption but haven't tagged it; locking up.
