World War Z is still the best zombie fiction (for better or worse) because it actually ends. Every other zombie story fizzles out or becomes Man vs Man with the zombies fading into the background. I cannot stress enough how much zombie fiction pervaded culture in the 2000s, rivaling MARVEL in the 2010s, so somebody pulling a Blazing Saddles on the genre was desperately needed.
