The Dead: Kingdom Of Flies

From the team that brought you tons of Judge Dredd's classic tales and revitalized the DC Comic's Oddball, Lobo, the self-made "Last Czarnarian". "THE DEAD ARE ON THE MOVE! Most of Britain has fallen to an invasion of zombies. There is no escape from their insatiable appetite for living flesh. But in Oxford, city of the dreaming spires, an unlikely alliance between a crew of firefighters and a pair of misfit soldiers has allowed them to survive. Now, with the city virtually overrun, it's time to strike back!!" A perfectly straightlaced title with an apparently conventional zombie tale to tell judging from the synopses, but with Alan Grant and Simon Bisley at helm, it would be only right to expect the unexpected. And all the more so as this is the launch title of Alan Grant's very own comic publishing line, Berserker Comics. Which explains this charitable spirit of giving at their Official Site where they are giving away free download of the first issue. The Original Cover Art to Issue 1 that can be found on the Official Site is notably less sanguine... (Incidentally, this version is available as a Jetpack Comics Exclusive Cover...Damn this age of Variant Covers)
