Red5 Comics let Major Spoilers know it has a brand new mini-series coming our way this July that features everyone’s favorite undead brought to life (no pun intended) in a whole different way - Zombies fighting our battles.

Air-dropped into the deadliest hot zones, the walking dead of ZMD: ZOMBIES OF MASS DESTRUCTION indiscriminately infect every last warring insurgent — on either side of the conflict. Specifically engineered to be photosensitive, once enemy infection becomes complete by dawn, both the originals and newly created zombies dissolve as a means to control widespread and accidental zombification. This allows live soldiers to enter and safely occupy the now-combatant-free territory. However, this plan takes a deadly turn when one of the U.S. zombies, dubbed — ZOMBIE ZERO — fails to dissolve at the expected time, and begins to wreak havoc in the Middle East by creating others like him. This leads the U.S. military brass to send in a special operative to quietly take out Zombie Zero and his minions before their existence becomes known to the rest of the world.

YES! If you are going to compete in the zombie genre, this is a great take on the theme.

ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction (code MAY084097) is written by Kevin Grevioux with art by Geraldo Borges. Red5 Comics sent us a peek at the six part bi-monthly series that kicks off in July.

Red 5 Comics has sold the rights to their new series Afterburn to Ryan Kavanaugh’s Relativity Media. Tobey Maguire and Neal Moritz are teaming up to produce the adaptation.

Afterburn is a sci-fi adventure set against the backdrop of a postapocalyptic Earth, whose Eastern Hemisphere was destroyed by a massive solar flare, leaving what life remains mutated from radiation and fallout. The story revolves around a group of treasure hunters who for the right price extract such objects as the Mona Lisa, the Rosetta Stone and the Crown Jewels while facing rival hunters, mutants and pirates along the way.

At this time, no writer has been signed to adapt the story.

I’m a robot, and you’re a brain in a jar…

The final issue of the adventures of the Tesla created robot sits before me - a culmination of a story that has been building for over 70 years as Atomic Robo faces his most diabolical foe. As this is the last issue in this series, it begs the question, “Does Atomic Robo rock, or should he be left to rust?”

As we mentioned in the Alpha episode of the Major Spoilers podcast, Atomic Robo is getting an ongoing series this fall. Fans of the Tesla created automaton can get a peek at the new adventures this May during Free Comic Book Day with Red 5’s Atomic Robo/Neozoic offering.

Turbines to speed!

Every once in a while you have the chance to get in on the ground floor of something big. I think Atomic Robo from Red 5 Comics is one of those titles just waiting to bust out. Atomic Robo has Nazis, explosions, and a robot that wears pants and cracks wise. What’s not to like?

Red 5 Comics has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of Midknight 1 that arrives in November.

From what I’ve seen, this doesn’t look like your normal superhero comic.

With prospering careers and a three-year-old daughter, David and Tarilyn Deville seem to be living the American dream. But instead of a life of comfort, tragic events in their past led the couple to a life of service — in the ER and District Attorney�s office by day, and on the streets of Philadelphia by night as crime-fighters Midknight and Knightingale. Or, at least, after bedtime.

Midknight is created by Tom Hodges of Star Wars: Evasive Action: Reversal of Fortune fame.

Take the jump for the sneak peek and more info.
