If the horde of zombie shows on TV are still leaving you hungry for more, then we have a new series that you should definitely sink your teeth into, “Black Summer.” When “Z Nation” was canceled by Syfy last year after five seasons there were hopes that Netflix might pick up the zomcom. That hasn’t happened, but Netflix is getting ready to premiere “Black Summer” their new companion/prequel series to “Z Nation.” Set in the early days of the zombie apocalypse, the eight-episode first season centers on Rose (Jamie King), a mother, and a small group of American refugees who must find the strength they need to fight their way back to loved ones.

‘Z Nation’ Releases Prequel Comic – A Review Of Volume 1

Horror comics are the best aren’t they? We could definitely use more of them. If you feel the same way, we’ve got good news.

I had the pleasure of checking out the first volume and I was not disappointed. Z Nation co-creator Craig Engler and Fred Van Lente serve as writers for the comic with fantastic art by Edu Menna and colors by Sal Aiala.
