To the shock and horror of the new game's characters, the zombie enemies are less interested in being game targets than in eating digital brains!

Printed in blood-spattered black and white, this lovingly, gorily constructed tribute to high school yearbooks of old is hilarious in its attention to period detail even as it celebrates the 1960s zombie youth "afterlifestyle." With tendon-snapping precision, author and artist Busch captures a dynamic moment in an all-American zombie high school's history.

The survivors of the arcade zombie apocalypse only escaped the carnage by jumping onto a GeoNeo arcade cartridge. Little did they suspect the zombie virus would be able to follow them!

With no way to "reset" the situation. And there is nothing that can "save" the game!

The zombified 16-bit console memory card has lain dormant in a thrift store bargain bin for a year now, with its horrible curse a long-lost save game. Meanwhile, a new 32-bit console has been released! Its denizens start to enjoy the benefits of "full-motion video" and "blaster processing," when the new memory card burns out. The system can take older cards, though, and wouldn't you know it, a certain zombie game-character-infested memory card was just put on sale!

Britanny and Agent M face off against the new Crime Syndicate-X. This group of young villains are determined to become successful with the original CSX's Supernova-nator, a doomsday device crafted in the '70s by the legendary Doctor Ex Mortis.

Chloe, Malik, and Justin have always shared a love of spooky things.

As the walking dead rise up throughout the world, a few brave doctors attempt to find a cure by applying forensic techniques to captured zombies. On a remote island a crack medical team has been sent to explore a radical theory that could uncover a cure for the epidemic. Based on the team's research and the observations of renowned zombie expert Dr. Stanley Blum, The Zombie Autopsies documents for the first time the unique biology of zombie organisms. Detailed drawings of the internal organs of actual zombies provide an accurate anatomy of these horrifying creatures. Zombie brains, hearts, lungs, skin, and digestive system are shown, while Dr. Blum's notes reveal shocking insights into how they function--even as Blum and his colleagues themselves begin to succumb to the plague. No one knows the ultimate fate of Dr. Blum or his researchers. But now that his notebook, The Zombie Autopsies, has been made available to the UN, the World Health Organization, and the general public, his scientific discoveries may be the last hope for humans on earth. "Humanity has a new weapon against the living dead and that weapon is Steven Schlozman!" -- New York Times bestselling author Max Brooks "I've written and made films about zombies for over forty years. In all that time, I've never been able to convince my audience that zombies actually exist. On page one of The Zombie Autopsies, Steven Schlozman takes away any doubt. This fast-moving, entertaining work will have you chuckling...and worrying." -- George A. Romero, director of Night of the Living Dead "Gruesome and gripping! Steven Schlozman reveals the science behind zombies from the inside out." -- Seth Grahame-Smith, New York Times bestselling author of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter "With The Zombie Autopsies, Steven Schlozman redefines 'weird science' for the 21st Century. Brilliant, bizarre and wonderfully disturbing." -- Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin and Patient Zero "Dr. Steve's Zombie Autopsy will charm and excite a new generation into loving science." --Chuck Palahniuk, New York Times bestselling author of Fight Club
