DEADWORLD
(NOW A NEW SERIES FROM IMAGE! MAY 2005)
A supernatural plague has been unleashed on the world. The dead return to walk the earth...but this is no George Romero movie. The dead are just soldiers for those who have crossed the Gateway. The leader zombies are intelligent, sadistic, and in addition to having a hankering for flesh, enjoy the torturous ordeals they put the surviving humans through.
Leader of the zombies is the intelligent, Harley riding, sarcastic being known as King Zombie. Killing humans is just a sideline to his cruel methods as he seeks to find a way to open the gates permanently and take over the earth.
Deadworld is horror that attacks the zombie menace from a different perspective. In addition to having intelligent zombies with a goal and mission, Deadworld is also exploring the human inter-actions as mankind finds itself facing extinction. While some groups organize in the best interests of self-preservation, others use this as an opportunity to explore their own self deluded dreams.
Deadworld is a story of horror...of survival...of hope and despair. It is an ongoing saga of modern man facing his darkest side...where science and technology are no longer his allies...where his power of reasoning is no longer his weapon alone.
Deadworld is death yet life.
Brief Description: A world that is suffering a supernatural holocaust. The dead have come back to life and they’re controlled by an unknown force...in the shape of intelligent zombies.

Association: obviously, many would liken it to the popular George Romero movies but Deadworld is more than that. It is has the feel of Red Dawn as small groups stand against an invading onslaught. It has the despair of Mad Max as civilization has crashed and the people band together to form friendships and enemies.
