Road of The Dead... Yep Another Zombie Comic that's a Great Read!


From the creator of V-Wars comes the next terrifying zombie story, Road of The Dead. Jonathan Maberry’s newest comic book is riveting, horrific and well-written. In Road of The Dead there is a war currently going full-charge ahead, that is until the dead rise… now there is a new war, the only war… survival of the human race.
 
The first issue of Road of the Dead starts right in the middle of the action. Steve Hanson of the U.S. army has just returned from hell (Afghanistan), he was just supposed to rotate and head back out, then all Hell broke-out… the dead started to rise, and they were hungry… hungry for human flesh!

 
Steve Hanson just had to stop and take care of business, in the middle of a… business the zombies attack and it’s the end of Steve’s crew and friends. Now alone he meets up with a group who needs his help. They have an important person that needs to be transported to a lab a couple of hundred miles away (Canada)… this person, scientist Dr. Harriet Jayne may be on the road to a cure for the dead infection. And everyone wants her, the dead, the science nerds and the public who believe she already has the cure and is keeping it for the select few.

Road of the Dead reminds of the popular sci/fi show Z Nation. A group of survivors that believe they have the cure to Zombie Apocalypse and are making their way across the states as well and encounter strange and horrifying monsters and what were once people. I really like Z-Nation and absolutely love Road of The Dead! Yeah I know another zombie story, but I like zombie apocalypse survival stories and if you do as well then you really need to pick up Road of The Dead!

Drew Moss does the artwork in Road of The Dead and he draws the comic book with a realistic look. Every frame tells the story, which compliments the written words, fans know exactly what is happening right down to the blood splatter!
Road of The Dead comic book three-issue mini-series is one of George A. Romero’s lasts works and it is also a prequel to the film George A. Romero’s: Road of the Dead co-written by Romero and Matt Birman. The comic (Johnathon Mayberry’s written version) is now a prequel to George’s final zombie film, Survival of the Dead, it will tell a story about a possible cure to the zombie outbreak and gangs trying to get to be the one who has it.

I can’t say anymore about the comic other than it’s a great read! Pick up a copy for yourself today at White Dragon Comics. Online customers will find all Zombie comics here on White Dragon Comics web-based store.

Friendo # 1 Vault Comics... With Friends like this who needs Enemies!


Looking for a new read this week… Friendo from Vault comics caught my eye. Unsure what it was about, I jumped in eyes first, you know like trying a new food for the first time, you got to just leap right in… put that first bite in your mouth. I have to say the comic took me by surprise, its kind of weird, but I really liked it!

Friendo is set in the future and it is not a very promising future! Technology is leading the world… people are consumed with the desire to have the latest thing no matter the cost! Leo (major star of the story) a struggling actor is not having a great life, to say the least. He is kind of a jerk, anyway Leo is having a really bad day, but it’s about to get better, maybe. Leo’s girlfriend buy’s him the latest new high-end trendy technology… VR Glasses. These virtual reality glasses give Leo his very own AI, he’s a search-engine, GPS, and personal shopper all-in-one. He’s also the worst possible influence. Leo may have gotten more than he bargained for.

Friendo is currently on issue three and it keeps getting weirder! Don’t let that stop you from picking up a copy for yourself because even though it’s a strange tale, it’s a great story. Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing just how much control an AI can have on a self-centered individual… or is it the other way around, hmmmm.

If you’re into weird, sci-fi and a little horror mixed in, then this comic book was made for you! White Dragon Comics currently has Friendo in stock and for our online shoppers’, comics like Friendo can be found in our Science Fiction section.

Comics Are The Greatest Gift for All Occasions!


White Dragon Comics has over 600 titles on display, not counting the graphic novels, which number in the hundreds as well. We carry kids’ comics, teen comics and adult comics in every genre. There are comics that contain superheroes, villains, love stories, action and adventure, media tie-ins, horror and real life plus a host more! 

Reading is the greatest gift to be given at any occasion… Birthdays, Christmas or anytime! So why comics… well comics offer:

  •  A different medium providing an entry point for struggling readers, challenge gifted readers, and help more students learn.
  • Improve your child’s vocabulary as they are exposed to several complex or difficult words.

  • Comic books provide multiple examples of how characters are structured, based on a back story, motivations, reaction to setting and place, and movement through plots as minor and major characters, and the introduction of what it means to be an antagonist and protagonist, and why this has developed. They offer a blueprint for the identification and replication of advanced writing techniques.

  • Comic books, although fashioned in the "literary world" of its creators, have a unique quality that anything can happen. Unpredictability and magic still exist. Due to the twin realities of monthly publication and the time invested in reading, the imagination of the reader can expand in incalculable directions.

  • Parents might be surprised to learn that the Ontario EQAO and the CAT4 (Canadian Achievement Test) both feature comic strips and sequential narratives in their assessment of reading and writing. All the beliefs of Language Arts: plot, character, conflict, mood, setting, and even vocabulary can be bolstered by the reading and creation of comic books.

White Dragon Comics is open 7 days a week and we are always ready to help direct shoppers in the right direction, making sure they find the perfect story for their recipient.
