Revue de presse

Since its initial release in 1968, George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead has captivated audiences, and as part of the public domain, Romero's classic film has been re-explored in other stories over the years. Sometimes these projects are ill advised, but with its impressive expansion of Romero's zombified world, Double Take's new ultimate night of the living dead comic book series is a reimagining worth reading. Derek Anderson, Daily Dead What began as a sequel of sorts to George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead has morphed into a unique creature that stands sturdily on its own two feet. For many of the ten individual-yet-intertwined series under the Night of the Living Dead: Revival label, only about 24 hours have passed since their stories kicked off last September in their respective first issues. Now those initial issues have transformed into something truly special, and like a baby growing at an accelerated rate, these stories are all grown up from where they started (which was a pretty damn good beginning). They have surpassed their original expectations and are now raising hell and having fun outside the playpen, making these issues the best treats yet for readers. --Derek Anderson, Daily Dead

Mix one maverick comics publisher, a horror movie classic, a renowned video game company and some of the best oral storytellers from the popular The Moth Radio Hour and you have a pretty unusual mix for a new line of comics. You could also have a hit. --Rich Shivener, Publishers Weekly

While there's less focus on zombies and more on some weird super powers, there's still a lot to like about this series. It's funny, clever, and George is a likeable yet despicable rogue. It will be interesting to see where they go with this character. --Chris Galvin, ComicsVerse

Présentation de l'éditeur

Thanks to some hungry customers, the closing shift at George's Market has turned into a graveyard shift. Cleanup in aisle... well, all of them. It's a late night snack attack in George's market. Help wanted: minimum wage, maximum carnage.

Double Take is launching a new comic book universe. We have assembled ten teams of talented writers and artists and asked them to start their stories in the world established by Night of the Living Dead. Then we let our imaginations, and our zombies, run wild. Mostly, these are new stories star new characters. But if you love the classic film, you won't be disappointed. You can follow your favourite film characters from their first appearances, to their dying breaths, to their first baby zombie steps.
