The Concept: DEADWORLD IS BACK IN ALL NEW STORIES! IMAGE & DESPERADO are thrilled to announce the return of one of the oldest and most successful horror series in comic history. A supernatural plague has been unleashed on the world. Pockets of civilization face the darkest side of humanity, where science and technology are no longer their allies and where the power of reasoning is no longer their weapon alone. DEADWORLD is a story of horror and death, yet also one of hope and life. With over 50 issues previously published, now is the time to start anew with fresh meat!

This Issue: The zombies return to walk the earth, led by the sadistic and Harley-riding King Zombie! A group of teens, desperately looking for signs of civilization, not only have to hide from the mindless zombie hordes, they must also contend with the intelligent, talking zombie overlords that seem to control and direct the flesh-eaters! What key do these terrified kids have that could halt the zombie menace forever? Zombie fans will also rejoice in welcoming back the original DEADWORLD artist, VINCE LOCKE (Sandman, American Freaks)! DEADWORLD…there is no escape.
