I think it's pretty realistic. Considering how tacky and cliched a lot of horror media stuff can be (especially with zombies) I was and continue to be impressed by Kirkman's writing. Obviously it's highly unlikely but if a zombie apocalypse did occur, I don't think events would play out too differently from the way they do in his comics. I'm not saying this is how you feel but I think a lot of people who read it are expecting more of an exciting action-packed blockbuster thriller kinda deal and it's not. It's about the characters and the choices they are forced to make and how they cope with their new way of life in a pretty ****ed up world. To some people that's just not as interesting as a comic full of zombie kick-assery.
