Horrific brain eating zombies, drawn as cute and hugable, that’s sure to get little tykes in trouble when the apocalypse befalls us all, and we can thank Doug Harvey for that.
Image Comics has sent Major Spoilers sneak peeks of Guerillas #4, Jack Staff #20, Lillim #3, Soul Kiss #4, and The Walking Dead #61.
Press Release
John Layman and Rob Guillory’s highly anticipated June-shipping ongoing crime series with a sick yet tasteful twist, CHEW, will make its first full appearance in the comic book blockbuster, THE WALKING DEAD, this May.
“Having CHEW debut in WALKING DEAD is extremely appropriate considering I hope CHEW does for cannibalism what WALKING DEAD did for zombies,” Layman said. “Seriously, Rob and I are very flattered to have CHEW debut in one of the biggest books out there today. While very different in its approach, I think fans of Kirkman and Adlard’s ongoing saga of human survival despite the worst possible situations will love Detective Tony Chu’s ongoing saga of surviving the worst possible situations despite his very distinct and sometimes burdening ability. It’s going to be a weird, wild ride.”
It was a very disturbing zombie comic book, and now Rick Remender hints the mini-series might be headed for the big screen.
From his Twitter feed:
XXXombies screenplay is almost done… rewritting the story so many times has make it rock solid but I’m really tired of looking at it.
Interesting if it is true, as Zombie Strippers did oh, so well in the theater direct to DVD market.
The saga that will not die (because it keeps coming back to life and eating your brains) Marvel Zombies, is back in an all new series, promising blood, thrills, and gore. Who can prevent the carnage this time? It looks like it could be the Midnight Sons, providing they keep a good head on their shoulders. Marvel has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the first issue from the upcoming series.
Good friend of the site, Scott Johnson from MyExtraLife.com has kicked off a brand new project. What’s better than 56 Geeks? How about 56 Zombies?
I got started on “56 Zombies” last night. Ultimately, this will be a complete poster sized photo print chock full of zombies of note. Keep your eye on this Flickr group, where I’ll post these as they are complete. Excited to get going with it.
As always, you need to follow Scott’s work and get ready to buy the big print when the project is finally complete.
When it was unintentionally leaked through Previews that two of the Black Lanterns in the upcoming Blackest Night storyline were going to be Kal-L and Martian Manhunter, one has to wonder if Ryan Ottley saw the writing on the wall when he sketched this Zombie Superman image way back in June of 2007.
While the image doesn’t match the action figure solicitation exactly, it does make you wonder. Wanna see Zombie Batman? No you don’t…
Monday just might be the better day to get the sneak peeks out the door as it whets your appetite for comics arriving this week. Boom! Studios sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of Galveston #3, Hero Squared: Love & Death #1, and Zombie Tales #10, all of which arrive in stores this week (January 28, 2009).
While the human undead genre may be tapped out, Studio 407 plans on taking the zombie genre to a new level with alien zombies in its new series Netherworld.
“I’ve been writing genre for as long as I can remember. So, I was kicking around a novel idea and was trying to describe the creature concept in the story to a friend and made the off-hand comment, “well it’s not like they’re alien zombies or anything…” Jones continues “And I stopped. And I thought, hmm…. that would be kind of awesome. Alien zombies. Hell, I gotta write that! And suddenly, Netherworld became my obsession. Everything else that I had been writing, planning to write or thinking about writing, got put to the side and I started hammering the keyboard like a mad person. And Netherworld came out in a flourish of alien body parts, political intrigue, humans running for their lives and lots and lots of blood,” said series writer Chad Jones in a prepared statement.
Check out a sneak peek of the first issue, after the jump.
This week finds Marvel releasing the fourth issue of the third installment of the Marvel Zombies saga. This series finds the undead heroes and villains finding a gateway to the Marvel 616 universe, and if I were to guess, nothing will ever be the same…again!
Take the jump for a sneak peek of the issue directly from the House of Ideas.
While Boom! Studios may have had a plethora of titles arriving this past week, next week is just as interesting with the release of Zombie Tales #9, and the Warhammer 40,000: Fire and Honour hardcover. Take the jump for a sneak peek, provided by our friends at Boom!
We’ve already seen what happens when artists get their hands on well known comic book characters and turn them into zombies, but what happens when comic book artist Frederik Peeters decides to push the envelope even further by taking famous dead people and reimagining them as zombies.
Yeah, Zombie Ronald Reagan is pretty interesting, but you really don’t want to see Zombie JFK.
If you are going to be surrounded by the undead, and only have a short time left, then there’s only one thing to do – solve the greatest mystery of your life.
ZOMBIE COP begins with police officer Joe Mundy being infected with the zombie plague and realizing he only has a short time to find who’s responsible before he’s fully taken over. Written by award-winning novelist and comic book writer Jeff Mariotte with fully painted art by rising star Szymon Kudranski, ZOMBIE COP promises to be alternately humorous, horrific and tragic, while leaving you to question what it means to be human.
ZOMBIE COP! It bears repeating – Zombie. Cop.
Zombie Cop arrives January 14, 2009 from Shadowline Comics.
