Zombie War Rises Again

Whenever zombies are involved, there's typically death, destruction and carnage that's not far behind. It's also not too far-fetched to find warfare as well and that's just the case with Zombie War from IDW Publishing. The title comes from Kevin Eastman, Eric Talbot and Ronda Pattison.

"When longtime friend Tom Skulan (Fantaco Press) and I created the concept of ZOMBIE WAR it was purely and completely out of LOVE of the genre, and when it came to bringing the vision to life,Eric Talbot was the only artist we wanted to work with!" said co-creator Kevin Eastman. "Man-what a great time we had with this story!"

When the denizens of Earth's military cemeteries begin to rise from the dead, who will stop them? Over two giant-sized issues, Jina, a tough-as-nails fighter pilot sets about uncovering what reanimated these heavily armed monsters and more importantly, what will stop them.

"Personally this event is VERY exciting to me," continued Eastman. "More than twenty years after the original series came out in black and white, we get the chance to remaster the piece with my favorite colorist on the planet, the most AWESOME Ronda Pattison! I can't wait to see what the fans think of one of most near and dear blasts from the past!"

Zombie War #1 hits stores in October. Full press release below.
