Well, at Least These Vampires Are Trying to Do Something Constructive with Their Lives
The Revenant is about the dude from Alias and Heroes — who I’m sure is grateful not to have to do the fake English accent he built his career on — becoming what appears to be for all intents and purposes a zombie, but one who drinks blood, and everyone annoying calls a “Revenant.” Then he decides to go fight crime with his slacker buddy and his new undead powers, which mostly seem to consist of not being killable. It seems to have won a lot of awards, although it isn’t doing much for me; your mileage may vary, I guess. (Via Nerd Bastards)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
