SLAUGHTERHOUSE

Welcome to the Deadworld!  In this self contained story arc, many humans find themselves trapped in a world of the walking dead and the living who will do anything to survive.  The promise of Safe Haven reveals a much darker and sinister purpose, when victims find themselves in a medical faciilty which will stop at nothing to combat the zombie plague.  In an effort to solve the growing plague, researchers try a scientific approach to save mankind---humans as guinea pigs!   Natural diseases such as leprosy, AIDS, and cancer are used to infect the zombies.  Survivors find that the greatest horror may not be the zombies but other humans. To the unfortunate, Safe Haven becomes known as the Slaughterhouse.

FROZEN OVER
Concludes with issue #4 in September

The final issue of the mini-series that shifted the action to the Big Apple...New York.  After a violent storm has trapped the few survivors remaining, escape seems impossible especially when King Zombie shows up to face off with The Giant.  Deadworld: Frozen Over was a mini-series that bridges the storyline between "Requiem for the World" and "Slaughterhouse" by being a freestanding mini.

The introduction of the classic horror series, DEADWORLD, to a new audience! Considered by many to be the original zombie comic, DEADWORLD ripped into the undead with intelligent zombies on a mission and the poor teens riding in a school bus desperately try to stay one step ahead of the King Zombie. Death, mayhem, and a touch of supernatural evil made DEADWORLD a classic and now here's your chance to get into the story! 

Contains all six issues of the new Deadworld series from Image Comics.
