Year Zero
Author(s): Benjamin Percy
Upshot’s hit series Year Zero returns with four new harrowing tales of survival from around a post apocalyptic world, set several months after the events on Volume One: A grizzled Norwegian sea captain and her two young grandchildren navigate an ocean teeming with undead while eluding the relentless pirates on their trail. A Colombian cartel boss indulges all of his most sadistic whims unaware that a threat far greater than zombies is headed toward his jungle fortress. A Rwandan doctor must overcome the crippling fear that has plagued him all his life as he stumbles through the African bush. And a pregnant woman barricaded in an American big box store discovers that the greatest threat to her life – and her unborn child’s – might not be undead. Benjamin Percy (Wolverine, X-Force) once again pens this global look at the zombie apocalypse, now joined by artist Juan Jose Ryp (Britannia) and colorist Frank Martin (Infinity Wars).
Review(s):
“A new take on the zombie apocalypse idea, YEAR ZERO looks at an undead pandemic by focusing on small stories across the world as individuals struggle to come to terms with what’s happening — allowing the series as a whole to explore different moral (and existential) questions relating to the relentless, shambling threat.”
“By making the characters the focus of the story, the zombie infested world merely the backdrop to the comic, the first volume of YEAR ZERO was a rip roaring success. With this second volume Benjamin Percy continues to do everything which worked well in the first volume but with brand new, and if anything more interesting, characters. Fans of the first volume will lap this up, as will fans of the walking dead. It's a great jumping on point as well if you haven't read the comic yet. The art is incredible and the icing on the cake.”
