IDW PUBLISHING'S ZOMBIES VS. ROBOTS
IDW Publishing has released details about Zombies vs. Robots Aventure, the four-issue mini-series that was created by Chris Ryall and Ashley Wood and launches in February.
The new series will feature three serialized eight-page stories per issue, each one offering a different take on the war between these two forces.
"The original Zombies vs Robots started after the war had already begun," Ryall said. "This new series more fully fleshes out that world, so to speak. Before, we looked more at the battle between robots and zombies. In Aventure, we delve into how this fighting affected humans across the world. A couple of the stories take a darker turn than we've done in ZvR so far, but that undercurrent of gallows humor is never far from any of the tales we tell in this world."
Ryall will write each story, with new interior artists and designs and covers by Wood.
The stories serialized in Aventure #1 are:
* "Kampf," featuring art by Mention Matthews III, is set in the early days of the struggle, where the military has developed its own resistance to fight the zombie threat alongside their robot army.
* "Masques," with art by Paul McCaffrey, follows up the earlier "origin" story of Zombies vs Robots and explores a non-combatantıs efforts to join the fight, with disastrous results.
* "Zuvembies," by Ryall and Gabriel Hernandez, shifts the battle to Haiti, where resistance fighters are trying to develop their own undead army as a means of defense.
The first issue also features a different incentive cover by Wood, plus a bonus art gallery including pin-ups and sketches from all three interior artists.
