The original VS. title is back to reclaim its turf and introduce itself to a new world! Eisner-losing duo CHRIS RYALL & ASHLEY WOOD return with this complete collection of their classic ZOMBIES VS. ROBOTS stories. Featuring old adventures, newly created tales of wonder, ZVR newspaper strips, artistic homages, a full cover gallery, and the bonus—and quite bogus—“Complete History of ZVR” essay by RYALL, too. Join us for the first time all over again!
Since the times of ancient Greece, popular culture has entertained stories of artificial humans. Our modern fears about the "otherness" of androids and human replicants have much in common with fears of the Doppelganger, a mythological harbinger of death. Throughout the twentieth century, "AI" technologies have developed at a rapid pace, bringing us face to face with these ancient fears in a modern context. Examining such films as The Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet and Blade Runner, among others, this book charts cinema's fascination with artificial intelligence and the technological double, as well as the historical antecedents of the artificial human.
In this concluding re-presentation of all things ZvR, the world frosts over with RYALL and WOOD’s story from the only ZOMBIES VS. ROBOTS ANNUAL, “Winter.” Plus a little-seen Hero Initiative tale, the 10-part “Tales of ZvR,” and much more!
In a world where, last issue, the entire planet was decimated by nukes, there’s only one place to go from here: a Grecian isle filled with warrior women—the Amazons! And a zombie minotaur, too, among assorted flesh-and-steel automatons. The entire 66-page saga is reprinted here, along with the proverbial “much more!”
While no one looks forward to what comes after Doomsday, author K. Scott Bradbury prompts readers to consider what will happen and how to mentally and physically prepare. In his debut work of nonfiction, The Post-Apocalyptic Primer, he examines what life might look like after the end of the world and it's not as abysmal as some might fear. In ten chapters including: Assessing Your Existing Survival Skills, Civilization After the Fall of Civilization, and Eat, Drink, and Be Wary, Bradbury offers commonsense strategies that exponentially boost one's chances of a bright future. Among other Apocalyptic scenarios, he describes what one might expect after a seismic catastrophe, an ice age event, nuclear war, and alien invasion as well as the stages of disorder, which he breaks down into Instant, Coming Soon, and Slow-Burn events. Where someone lives makes a big difference, but besides new threats, there are also new careers, new hobbies, and a whole new adventure, the only trick is to be ready for it.
Unlikely Goblin hero Goody is instructed by the Good Magician Humfrey to find a suitable home for a foul-tempered bird, a quest that inadvertently triggers an invasion by an army of seemingly indestructible killer robots.
The re-presentation of the oft-forgotten ZOMBIES VS. ROBOTS series by CHRIS RYALL & ASHLEY WOOD rolls onward with the original two issues of the series that formed the basis for the forever-in-development-hell feature film, Inherit the Earth! Plus new covers by WOOD, all-new ZVR tributes to the mad genius that was DON MARTIN, and more!
