Zombies vs. Unicorns!

In case you haven’t been following the zombie-versus-unicorn thread on the internets, it has come to a mighty climax with the announcement of:

The Zombie Versus Unicorn Anthology! A collection of zombie and unicorn short stories to settle the issue for good, co-edited by Justine Larbalestier (aka, my Justine) and the fabulous Holly Black.

Justine is, of course, the head of Team Zombie, and Holly is the head of Team Unicorn.

Here’s Justine’s announcement of it, and here’s Holly’s.

    lets face it, more people will like zombies then unicorns

    zombies have a bigger media base
    and more people loving it
    and idk

    pray for ur unicorns

    do unicorns even have a power?

    and dude

  3. Low blow.
    And uhh, Kait-wa, you’re friends with (3) necros in that case. And no. I’m more for the human type thanks. 😉

  4. omg im so sorry, do you guys like to be called something other then just necrophilliac? (jk zack-attack, jk)

  5. yeah ik
    but yeah yeah

    ok so zombies are in a catagory of UN-dead( like jay wa mentioned)

    and a bunch of others

    wat do unicorns have
    a donky
    a horse
    a pegasuse

    not to scary, or good

  6. If the only thing wrong about unicorns is where they come from u need to get over that. You should except anyone, mythical or not even if they are difffrent. Because in america everything is equal…i mean except for the amount of stupidity u guys have, its just like over excelling

  7. Pfft. It’s not just us. Or us at all.
    Didn’t go to school today, but the stupidity still resounds there.

  8. its just a simple fact of life that unicorns represent good.
    meaning they could really be bad and no one knows!
    because they are so magical.
    but who ever heard of a good zombie?

  9. well no b/c if i would a died ur hair (like i will in about a few weeks) you would b a pink head and no wanna b about it

  10. wow, u guys like doubled the comments on here from before…wanna know why? its because zombies are better. thats just how it works

  11. im pretty sure that scott westerfeld just made up this argument so he could watch people fight amongst each other.

  13. No, man like seriously there are like so many arguments about zombies vs unicorns and david vs zane so yeah it’s just how it is.

    ps

    Zombies Win!! (80 Xs whatever kait-wa says!)

  14. qualaties of a chicken like unicorns.
    but apathy edge think zombie unicorns would be kick.
    but i agree with apathy edge.
    but i would rather have unicorn over a zombie.
    [oh and those are both bands…qaulaties of a chicken is a teaser band]

  15. TEAM ZOMBIE!

    Nerdfighter for life!

    I am not sure but I believe the zombie vs unicorns originated via John and Hank Green (see vlogbrothers on youtube)

    DFTBA

  16. Okay, I know how we can fix this whole problem.

    ZOMBIE-UNICORNS!

    Obviously.

    They would be amazing.

    Oh…and if you happen to see he comment about zombies not having brains…go read Max Brooks’ Zombie Survival Guide. They kind of require brains to be zombies…

  17. The only way a unicorn could win is if it happened to be lucky enough to impale the zombie between the eyes, attacking the source of the virus and thereby destroying the creature. I doubt it would know how to do that.

    However, zombies don’t eat animal meat if they can help it. Nobody really wins.

    And don’t argue unicorns just because you’re girls and they’re “pretty and magical.” Unicorns are she-woman man-haters! >=O

    Zombies can be magical tooooooo.
