Imo like in L4D, melee should be used either for stealth kills or a last resort should your main weapon be unusable for whatever reason.

Though on the other hand considering the chances you'll ever (legally) get your hands on a gun, better start practicing those swings xD

On another note something I've always been wondering about: since zombies are technically blind, how do they know the difference between a door and a wall? they just home in on doors, it's pretty cheap D:

I would reverse that order. Guns would be my last resort because at that point sound wouldn't matter. In L4D, the zombies rush you no matter how quiet you are so using guns doesn't matter. In a zombie invasion, most of your kills should be stealth by default as you WILL run out of ammo if ten thousand zombies rush your location.

I have no problem with the series being bimonthly if that keeps it from slipping back into hiatus.

welll it will be in hiatus once nobody scanlates it anymore... and with the apparent scanlation war turning sour for the rebels...... i dunno

Using melee is pretty suicidal against infectious zombies. Hitting someone on the head and killing them is one thing but smashing the brains is another story all together. The skull can be surprising hard. Using piercing weapon is especially dangerous. There are cases where people survive pierces through their head. Logically dead zombies will have an even higher chances of survival since they would only use part of the brain. Also chances of your weapon being stuck is high too.
And then there is the blood splatter problem, even if you have medical supplies and fresh water, there is the chance that some of it will get through your skin through some break in the skin especially since you will probably be fighting and running. Even if you do not turn zombie, it can result in a fever as your body tries to fight the infection.
Therefore, unless you are confident of killing every zombie that comes at you, barricade yourself with ample supplies and wait out the invasion or train yourself in parkour or both. But if you are really afraid of zombie invasion, move to those permanently cold region. Those zombies will be frozen like those chickens in the supermarket.

The blood thing doesn't seem to a problem in this manga, almost all the characters have gotten blood or other stuff all over them, especially saya, and had no issue at all.

RisArk · 2010-07-12, 23:38

The skull doesn't seem that good in HOTD considering Hirano managed to stay them off with nail guns, and Saeko effortlessly taking multiple out with a blunt weapon.

FateAnomaly · 2010-07-13, 00:00

Ya , i know that. But real life is different you know.

Publishers recently banded together to form an anti-scanlation coalition, promising legal complications for those who put up licensed series on the Web for free.

Several raw providers and manga sharing sites such as MangaHelpers, Raw-Paradise and AR's Toshokan decided to call it quits before things got ugly. In some cases, they did it to pre-empt the arrival of C&D letter(s), while in others, after they were directly contacted by people with enough authority to file a legal complaint against the webmasters.

We already know they've got a 'black list' of websites they wish to hit this summer. R-P knew about this several months in advance and the gravity of the said campaign was such that it drove the nail all the way down and they decided to scuttle their own business without looking back (some of their most accomplished scanners had already retired by then, anyway).

Since HSotD was one of those series that prominently bore those 'buy cool LEGALITY comic' captions, I can assume the authors will be cheering on the aforementioned razzia.

In an ideal situation you would use either a crossbow or a compound bow as the amount of sound is minimal while still maintaining a distance. Also silencers on the guns might help as well. Nontheless you don't actually need to penetrate the skull to cause severe brain damage. Also using timed bomb and flashbangs would be great for sound diversions. Another advantage of melee weapons is you don't run out of ammo. So something like a spiked baseball bat or mace(if you can find one) would be necessary atleast for backup.
