story MARK KIDWELL
art & cover NAT JONES & JAY FOTOS

32 PAGES - FC - JANUARY 3 - $3.99

Vietnam, Fall 1968…A long range listening post deep in enemy territory has fallen silent. Fearing the worst, a five man US fire team is scrambled, plunging into the shadow- haunted jungle to investigate. Led by first Lieutenant Tommy Blake, the squad will enter the true heart of darkness and discover more to fear than the enemy as a country turned slaughterhouse gives up it's bloodthirsty dead.

There are zombies in the razor wire…

Yay another zombie goodness book. What irks me is the 3.99 for just 32 pages =/. I'd give it a shot though and hope that if it turns out great, they'd atleast lower the price to 2.99.

It's 25 pages of story and art, compared to the 20-22 pages standard.

As for the $3.99 cost, it's fair, being the turn-a-round money going back to the creative team is not much if it sells well and if it tanks, we make no money and did the book for free.;)

If the issue sells well, will it become a mini or an ongoing series after the men "supposebly" save thier comrades (or not)?

We have an idea for a fallow up, depends on sales.

I'll be on the lookout for it, as well. Zombies are fun reads...

Love both covers, BTW.

In 68 will they explain the origin of the zombie plague or just keep it mysterious like other comics and media?

Read the 5 preview pages on PREVIEWS that my LCBSO gave to me and it looked pretty interesting. I'm a sucker for zombie books.

It's pretty vague on that end, for a reason. Night of the Living Dead(the original zombie movie) came out in 1968 and our book is called '68, put two and two together, you get the idea.
It's a perspective on "what and where else" was going on at that point...and ours is smack in the middle of the Vietnam war, can ya think of a cooler place to have zombie infestation?;)
