by Gary Reed, Mark Bloodworth (Illustrations), Dan Day (Illustrations)

With over 100 issues released and 1,000,000 copies sold Deadworld arrived on the zombie apocalypse scene well before The Walking Dead and presents a different take on the global nightmare.

This BOOK FIVE Deadworld Archive edition collects comic issues #19-23 of the first volume of Deadworld. Also included, the original tale of " Guns for Sale", from Caliber Presents #8. As Dan and Joey depart the community they were staying with, a band of survivors in Michigan decide to head to the wilds of the Upper Peninsula, hoping that the cold weather and sparse population will inhibit the menace of the walking dead. Lead by John this ragtag group races for the remote area, hoping they can establish their own civilization. Meanwhile King Zombie continues his quest to find these humans and put an end to their meddling as he seeks to fully take over the world under his dominion, backed by his growing zombie horde.

What the hell is going on here? A zombie stockboy?
Putting up a sign?
Sign?
"Guns for sa--"
GUN!"

I still like this series but it really lost direction in this volume. Several different storylines are being followed with many different characters, and really it's too much. It's getting very confusing and hard to tell what's going on with who. I still like the idea of the demons trying to open a gateway to Earth, and to accomplish that we have intelligent zombies as well as demons roaming around in addition to the mindless zombie hordes. But I really wish things could have stayed tighter with the smaller group of characters from the first issues rather than this exanded universe. Hopefully it all comes together soon into a more concise story.

Not one of the better ones.
