What are they eating - not many people left?  It's completely unbelievable that they are routinely taking down or cornering animals.  They're going to sneak up on a deer - C'MON!

That's the problem with a zombie story that takes place longer than a few weeks/months. The vast majority of people did not survive and were turned into zombies early on, so they should all have turned around the same time. New zombies in the last two years are faaaaaar less than zombies within the first month of the outbreak. By year two, they should be mostly fallen apart, especially considering that we saw zombies that weren't fed early on and they seemed to be a lot weaker. It's not like there's a lot they're all feeding on.


Currently the comics is a few more years down the line, and the thing now is herds that migrate together (not as much stray zombies anymore) but there's no talk of them decomposing. By this point they should be all but gone. At some point, they have to address that and this just be about rebuilding and dealing with others.
