When we last left our heroes, Smaug the dragon was like totes pissed off, and was all like “Chah little Dwarf bros, I’m going to go roast some human dudes now, and not even a Hobbit with a magic ring and a brow that is constantly furrowed can stop me yo”.

Zombies have been done to death. From shuffling to sprinting, from cannibalism to teenage crushes, from comics to hit TV shows – been there, done that.
