Writer

Stipan Morian

The zombies won—and 10 years after the fall of humanity, they're the dominant form of life (or not-life) on Earth. They've developed their own cultural practices, their own language, and their own society, all organized around hunting and devouring the few living humans unlucky enough to still be fighting for survival. Mouse-Pokes-Golf-Ball-Through-Hole-in-Head ("Poke" for short) is a valued and beloved member of the Brain-Splashes-and-Sizzles-on-Hot-Rocks Horde of the Undead, and with his brother-in-arm Mush, he's happy to shamble along through the only world he can remember ... until the day his heart mysteriously starts beating again. And in a blink, the first humans he sees have stopped looking like food and have started looking like ... friends ...?

The team behind 20th Century Men, the bold mission statement that launched writer Deniz Camp and artist Stipan Morian to the next level of the comics industry, has reunited at last to bring you a world ruled by ruthless kill-or-be-killed logic, pitted against the demands of a single beating, bleeding, emotional heart!
