Recently came across this intense comic called " Crossed" Its a lot like the Walking Dead accept more intense and gory. The story follows different groups and you see the epidemic through different eyes.

The story follows survivors dealing with a pandemic that causes its victims to carry out their most evil thoughts. Carriers of the virus are known as the "Crossed" due to a cross-like rash that appears on their faces. This contagion is primarily spread through bodily fluids, which the Crossed have used to great effect by treating their weapons with their fluids, as well as through other forms of direct fluidic contact such as rape and bites, assuming the victim lives long enough to turn. A major difference between the Crossed and other fictional zombie or insanity-virus epidemics (e.g. in the film 28 Days Later), is that while the Crossed are turned into homicidal violent psychopaths, they still retain a basic human-level of intelligence: thus they are still capable of using firearms, motor vehicles, tools like bows and arrows, and of setting complex traps.

The contagion spread across the entire world, with the Crossed killing, raping, engaging in cannibalism and maiming for fun, with governments and military overwhelmed; friends and family butcher each other with anything they lay their hands on, and cities are turned into vast charnel houses. Much of the Middle East is wiped out when Israel deploys nuclear weapons. The last organized act by the US government is to shut down as many nuclear power plants as possible and then kill the nuclear scientists and technicians to prevent them from reactivating the plants. A few nuclear power plants were not reached in time, however, such as Wolf Creek in Kansas and Browns Ferry in Alabama, detonated by Crossed who removed the control rods. One by one the remaining military bases are overrun. Soon human civilization is all but gone, and mankind is an increasingly endangered species.

Meh....I'll pass. I feel like the whole thing will get bogged down by how intelligent the Crossed are. I can see it now. You'll have one scene where the infected do some really dumb sh!t like walk into a burning building or walk into electrified puddles of water or some other silly sh!t that shouldn't happen, then in the next scene you'll have another infected "thing" writing python code to hack the city's bluetooth and confuse the "heroes" or something equally as asinine. I'll just end up frustrated the whole time.

They aren't that intelligent.... they are well above walkers but still well below the average human.
