Maybe it'll appeal a bit more after you turn fifteen.
:D

But seriously, having read the comic from beginning to the current issues as they've come out I can see the only reason it's had the longevity it does is on account of the fact it's not just a single event/place covered...it's not just people running from zombies or focussed upon one attack or a survival situation.
That works in movies, sure. I've never much felt the need for an above average plot in a zombie film...surely you can't expect to have an emotional connection to zombie fodder etc, though in the ongoing sense of the comic and (hopefully) the tv show, I don't think it's a negative.
I mean if you look at it this way, it's a lot higher a zombie action percentage than the average NON-zombie show, right?
If it was all action/flesh eating/zombie killing...it just wouldn't be able to last, it would be pretty stupid if it were actually drawn out, the plotlines would become thinner and thinner and yeah...essentially while you can expect that from a zombie movie it's the wrong expectation from the get go with something like this.
Having read the series upon which it's based though, I can tell you there is a LOT more action to come...there will be death and mayhem, much violence and splatter enough to satisfy any zombie fan.
Some of the more interesting threats come from other things too.
