So there we were, in a giant, hanger-like structure, built into the very rock of the island. Below us were miles of tunnels and chambers stretching down into the Earth -they would be easy to seal off and were stocked with enough food to last a thousand people for fifty years. Which was good, because that’s about how many of us there were. The cavernous space offered little protection -it’s ceiling was too high.

So last week I was asked what I thought about the recent Robert Kirkman video. The text break-down of his concept is also at that link, and worth checking out. I thought it would be interesting to get Brian Clevinger in on this, so we will both be sharing our thoughts on this. Brian’s response can be seen over at atomic-robo.com. (more…)
