In a world where the undead eat human flesh what chance do two boys have when they can hardly get along themselves?

I am a big fan of the Walking Dead comic books so when I discovered this zombie story, I finished it in one sitting. This is basically a short story of two brothers caught in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and the conflicts that arises.

What a wicked little tale. I read this free from this link https://www.steveniles.net/freecomics...! Thank you! I love how its on the edge of "my goodness these poor children" to WOW ok so that happened. :) I'm usually bothered by artwork of this type, but it didn't really bother me too much. Possibly because of the genre and it is normally like this.
