Ultimate Night of the Living Dead Kickstarter Launched

Not long ago Ben told you about some new comics based in the universe of Night of the Living Dead. The publisher of these, Double Take, has started a Kickstarter campaign to get some additional funding for the first tier of issues, but that doesn’t seem to be the company’s only goal. Double Take (the comic publishing arm of Take Two) is seeking to garner a more robust community for their comics by getting the word out, as well as offering a really good deal for those who are interested in backing their campaign.

There will be 10 initial series of books based on this classic universe, and all of them will be available in comic stores this september. However, if you back their campaign you can essentially get all 10 first issues for $10, which even with $5 shipping is still a really good deal, especially since out of the 10 books there will likely be at least a series or two that will strike your fancy. Since they are running the campaign right now, you can head to their website to see previews of some of the books. Granted, some of them are further along than others, but they still give you a good idea of what to expect. Personally, Lab, Soul, Honor, Dedication, and Medic interest me the most, but there is something here for all fans of the horror genre. No preview for Medic yet, but after the cancellation of Silent Hills, the creepy hospital and zombie nurse vibe of the cover might just be enough to temporarily fill the void.

If you’re interested in Night of the Living Dead, or just in discovering some new books, head to their Kickstarter page to see what they’re all about.
