Ken Foree To Write New Zombie Comic Book Series ‘Descendants of the Undead’
Ken Foree is a legendary horror star, known for appearing in iconic horror films such as Dawn of the Dead, The Devil’s Rejects, Leatherface, and Halloween (2007). Now, the icon is adding comic book writer to his resume as he prepares to launch his new comic series Descendants of the Undead! The 30-page initial installment begins a terrifying series that incorporates the mayhem of zombies with striking visuals and interesting characters!
Read the full synopsis below:
Twenty years ago, when a group of survivors fled the zombies ravaging the mainland, they commandeered a ship and sought refuge on a distant island. They hoped to find safety among the lush vegetation, fresh water, and sprawling landscapes. But the island harbored its own dark secret: its native inhabitants were infected with the same ravenous disease.
Now during the present, the brutal nightmare against the flesh-eating hordes left only a handful of adults alive—among the survivors is a man with the moniker “Dad.” Because of his seniority, he leads the children of the original settlers. These teenagers are the new generation of young zombie hunters, born into a world of carnage; honing their skills and instincts in ways their predecessors never could. Their resilience and resourcefulness may yet keep Dad alive.
But across the island, something strange is happening with the flesh-eaters. The monsters are more organized and dangerous, turning the island into a fatal battleground. Scarred by the trauma of the initial outbreak in his past, Dad fights a mental battle, struggling to become the leader the new generation needs. He can either succumb to his madness or rise to the challenge and guide his chosen family to safety. With danger lurking around every corner, the island’s inhabitants face their greatest threat yet—a father figure whose inner demons may be deadlier than the zombies around them.
The first installment, written by Ken Foree, boasts a talented and passionate creative team, which includes Amone Linsamouth as art director, Vincentius Matthew (Baldur’s Gate III) as the senior concept artist, JamTronArt (Alien Katana) as penciler, Kai Lun Qu (Marvel’s SNAP) as the cover artist, and Amy Linsamouth (Byte Me) as editor and letterer.
