Overview

Welcome to the Deadworld! Before there was The Walking Dead, there was 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 facility 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. Note that although Slaughterhouse is meant to stand on is own, it follows -Requiem for the World- and precedes -War of the Dead-. -Deadworld is amongst the most essential horror titles of the last twenty years.- - Peter Normanton, From the Tomb Magazine. -The best, in my humble opinion, of the zombie comics...- - Thomas E. Sniegoski, writer of Buffy Vampire Slayer and Batman. -Deadworld is a grand experiment and really has a special place in the history of horror comics.- - Comic Book Therapy. -Merry mordant fun and well worth stalking...- - Now Read This! -Check out what is undeniably one of the best zombie comics series out there.- - Horror News Network.
