First of all, I feel you are mixing genres to try pushing your bigger point... A lot of what you are talkin about aren't "post" apocalyptic... but many are pre or during. And spanning across action as well as sci-fi...

Wasn't there a Space Knight/Ultron tie during Conquest?

I actually really dig this movie for some reason and I kinda hope for a remake.

Came here to mention Ministry... and yes it's the front-man of FoN.

The true tragedy of this situation is that we have lost any hopes for a revival of these:

Wait, that's not cosplay... That's a retouched image from the set photos you guys posted yesterday/day before about the redesigned cyberfolk.

True, a lot of their shiny was tarnished by the modulated smack-talk...

True. But Cybers were a means of survival and Daleks were designed to win a war, iirc.

Not so much w/ Cybers... they were always a reoccurring baddie... but their very nature was always shifting and changing as often as their appearances.

Well, they appear similar, but how they "work" is quite diff... Daleks are lab-created super-soldiers who decided all other life is inferior and should be purged. Like a cross between Frankenstein's monster and Nazi's.

Yeah, I always wanted a CyberCompanion who the Doctor tried to help regain autonomy... and in the comics, I heard he had one. But they'd have to be careful not to just retread 7 of 9 arc from Trek.

It's baffled me the treatment of such awesome baddies in NewWho... so much to play with for good story-telling... fear of tech, body-horror, loss of identity being just the first ones to come to mind. Yet none of those have been more than briefly touched on.

Also, kudos for including The Signal which is one of the more under-rated pics, imo.

I agree... I normally avoid trailers for stuff to keep from such spoils.

No love for either the parade nor the library scenes in "Something Wicked This Way Comes"?

Though he's one of the more prolific artists out there, Jae Lee doesn't get the cred he's due, imo. Like Sam Keith (someone else mentioned) he has a way of creating a dark, surrealistic take on characters that makes ya veiw them in a diff (often horrifying) light... Just look at his MODOK on this cover art:

He did get kinda well known back in the 90s w/ the Maxx (which was amazing), but talk to any who isn't into comics that deep, and they'll have no idea who ya talkin about... McFarlane, Lee, etc are much more in the public knowledge than Keith.

Well, lets break down what makes zombies so alluring in the first place as far as the underpinnings as a cultural construct. Sure the basic inevitability of death is the most visceral and at the def forefront.

My bad.

Also, don't forget to mention that, in it's original form, the person only thought them-self to be dead, or to be of reduced mental capacity.
