WHEN YOU LIVE IN HELL, DEATH IS PART OF THE SCENERY…

Sam Spade in the world of Dawn of the Dead

Set in a post-apocalyptic near future, DeadTown follows the exploits of Chan who lost his family in the zombie plague, and now works as a private detective in a world over-run by the undead.

Those with the means live “Upstairs”, in skyscrapers specially designed to separate them from the infested street level; everyone else is “Downstairs”. The survivors struggle to carve out a life with the constant threat of zombies hanging over them.

Depicted in a rich black and white style, DeadTown combines a classic film noir sensibility with the zombie horror genre, in an edgy re-imagining of the hard boiled detective thriller.

This is one of a number of 2D and 3D motion comics from M2 and is a fantastic new(ish) medium that we’ve never seen done in 3D before.

We’re excited and will be keeping you up to date as soon as we find out more.

Update: After a quick look around it seems as if the guys at M2 are looking for funding to get this project completed over on Kickstarter. If you like the look of it head on over and donate although with only 3 days to go and over $19,000 to be raised, it doesn’t look as though this one will go ahead.

Comic publishers Boom! Studios have released Zombie Tales Volume #1 for free online.

The best-selling zombie anthology finally gets collected, featuring work from the best of the best: material written by Mark Waid, Keith Giffen, Eureka creator Andrew Cosby, Transformers the Movie writer John Rogers, Eureka TV show writer Johanna Stokes, Fall of Cthulhu writer Michael Alan Nelson, and more! Artists featured are a non-stop constellation of names: Keith Giffen, Fallen Angel’s J.K. Woodward, Painkiller Jane’s Lee Moder, 100 Bullets’ Dave Johnson, Mark Badger, and many many more!

Well worth a read (and normally $15 to buy) this online version is made better by commentary on every panel by publisher Ross Richie. Go check it out now.

The Zombie Comic is a web comic by Matt Lee, started back in April and infrequently updated since. Of course that can be forgiven when you’re a student that also works.

Recently though Matt has been dedicating more time to the site and producing work like the image above.

If you’d like to support him you can also make a donation and in return you’ll get anything from a signed print to a zombified picture of yourself.

You can see examples of the zombification process on the blog or check out the picture of ZC Barry posted yesterday. You can also follow him on Twitter.

Much like Zombie Iron Man Riding A Giant Ealge before it, comic book covers featuring zombies are awesome.

This one features Triple H, The Undertaker (appropriately) and John Cena wrestling zombies (oh and some of them are also demon leopard men). I don’t know why and frankly I don’t care (but I’m led to believe the comics feature Wrestlemania set against historical (ly inaccurate) settings).

’nuff said.
