Victorian Undead
Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies
Written by Ian Edginton
Art by Davide Fabbri
Cover by Tony Moore
Variant cover by Simon Coleby

Description from publisher:
"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." Those are the words of Mr. Sherlock Holmes, the world's first consulting detective, yet even he finds his skills tested to their limit as he and his erstwhile comrade Dr. John Watson are confronted with the most extraordinary case of their career – the dead are returning to life! Can a plague of Biblical proportions be far behind for Victorian London? And who – or what – is behind the resurrection of these ravenous revenants?

28 Days Later - comic book 1

Comic to watch out for:

FVZA: Federal Vampire And Zombie Agency
by David Hine

released: October 2009

Description from CU Independent:
David Hine, a graphic novel writer since the 80s, was brought in by Radical to adapt a story from the Web site fvza.org and turn it into a comic book. The comic tells the story of an alternate history of the U.S. where zombies and vampires were a very real threat from Civil War times onward. This caused the formation of a federal organization charged with exterminating the menace, the titular Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency.

Review from Fangoria

Zombie book(s):

Dawn of the Dreadfuls

prequel to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

by Jane Austen and Steve Hockensmith

Release date: March 23, 2010

Description from publisher site:
In this terrifying and hilarious prequel, we witness the genesis of the zombie plague in early-nineteenth century England. We watch Elizabeth Bennet evolve from a naïve young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead. We laugh as she begins her first clumsy training with nunchucks and katana swords and cry when her first blush with romance goes tragically awry. Written by acclaimed novelist (and Edgar Award nominee) Steve Hockensmith, Dawn of the Dreadfuls invites Austen fans to step back into Regency England, Land of the Undead!

Robin Hood and Friar Tuck:
Zombie KillersA Canterbury Tale Told in Verse
Written by Arthur A. Freeman
Review by Steven Dawes
--an ebook

Description from publisher:
Medieval civilization was under threat from the undead.

When lion-hearted Richard ruled the roostOf England, he decided that to boostHis regal reputation he should mountA war to wrest from Turkish men the fountOf Christendom; yet in that desert landA zombie plague emerged from 'midst the sand.A necromancer's alchemistic spellReanimated corpses bound for Hell(And even bound for Heaven's pearly gate).

Soon after 'twas apparent that the fateOf all on Earth--the evil and the good--Was in the hands of Robin of the HoodWhose outlaw men, along with Friar Tuck,Against rampaging hordes of zombies struck.They fought to save the likes of you and I,Not caring that one slip might make them die.Their tale lies here, within this humble book--I pray you'll spare the time to take a look.

Double Zombie Wedding in Manchester, U.K.

With inspiration and celebration of the Left 4 Dead 2 video game, two couples wed zombie style.

About Left 4 Dead 2
Left 4 Dead 2 is the sequel to the best-selling and critically-acclaimed multiplayer smash from Valve. Left 4 Dead 2 is set at roughly the same time as the original – just after the outbreak that turned most of the population into various zombie mutants. Players assume the role of 4 new “Survivors,” each with their own personality and new dialog. The game leads these “Survivors” through the southeastern region of the US - from Savannah, Georgia thru the bayou country, and climaxing in New Orleans’ French Quarter. The title adds melee combat to the award-winning L4D style of play, with items such as a chainsaw, frying pan, axe, baseball bat, and more.
