Here are the beginnings of Deadworld Volume 2 and Deadworld Archives
BOOK SEVEN has the first four issues. Time has moved ahead and the plan for sanctuary in the frozen north hasn't worked out as planned. The entity of Amy is trapped but hoping to unleash herself as the remaining teens find themselves in a renegade group, unaware that Moloch has retaken the city...a city that the zombies also want. Also included is the short story "Body Art" featuring the character Tattoo and a short piece entitled "The City" which appeared in the pages of the comic Calibrations.
Deadworld Archives editions collects all of the original Deadworld comics originally released by Arrow and Caliber Comics.
"You must get this if you're even a casual fan of horror or anything zombie or undead-related. It's clear The Walking Dead took some cues from this book (some of them honestly seem like blatant rip-offs), so go support a book that got the zombie genre right first." - Comicbastards.
"Plain and simple, you need to read Deadworld, old and new, because it is at the top of my list of Horror Comic Must Read Titles. - Dying Breath 5.0 out of 5.0" - DecapitatedDan.
