The beginning of one of comics' longest running independents as Deadworld has had nearly 100 issues published over the years. And it all started here! Seven teens on a school bus, scrambling to escape the zombie apocalypse. Little did they know that there were also intelligent zombies and they had a plan...and they had a leader, King Zombie. Death becomes real to the teens as they lose some of their members and their hope that a riverboat will provide sanctuary proves futile. The Deadworld Archives series collects all of the original Deadworld series published by Arrow and Caliber Comics from the 1990s into a series of nine low priced graphic novels. This volume has the very first four issues of the series.
Fucking classic immediately! Jumps right in with the action and establishes character dynamics and relationships pretty quickly and pretty well. Definitely dated in some aspects but it's a very old comic that is standing the tests of time and still holds up soooooooo well.
If you're looking for some late '80's, Return of the Living Dead style zombie comics, this might be for you. Artwork takes some getting used to, though.
