Deadworld

[Sadogoat]

A work colleague lent me a copy of Book 1 of Vincent Locke's Deadworld series today so I could finally check it out (having never read it before). Up until today, I was only familiar with Locke through his work on Cannibal Corpse album covers, but I knew they recruited him because they enjoyed his 'Deadworld' series.

Having just finished reading it, I have to say I found it quite engrossing. The artwork, however, is pretty iffy. Locke does some pretty cool cover art, but I found his actual comic art to be somewhat hit & miss - I just couldn't get around some of the more 'cartoony' elements of it. That said, I suspect that was the effect he was going for. If anything, I'm actually surprised the story didn't have more gore - given some of the other stuff I've seen of his. Still, it wasn't bad at all and I think I'll be requesting the followup Books in the series to see what happens to the protagonists (...well, those that haven't been butchered and/or eaten already).

Anyone else read these? Thoughts or opinions?

[Dr Evil]

I've never heard of it and I'm desperately craving zombie novels. Do you know if it's easy to attain? Is it still in print?

[Princess Pitbull]

If anyone is seriously interested in buying 'deadworld" comics I have quite a few that I may put up on ebay, just let me know if anyone wants them.

Yo Pit. What's Deadworld about? You know how "blonde" I am when it comes to comics. :lol:

Basically, evil warlock briefly opens gate to hell and unleashes evil forces that bring the dead back to life with a hunger for warm flesh. Story follows a group of college students trying to survive the undead hordes while being pursued by an intelligent and vengeful biker 'King Zombie' - who is also seeking the apprentice of the warlock who opened the hellgate so it can be left open for good (allowing the forces of hell to possess the earth...yadda yadda yadda).

[awfulman]

Actually I own all of them! I started collecting them when they came out, years and years ago. I do know an awful lot about them. If there's anything you want to know, just ask.

Vincent Locke's Art
Vincent's art is rather untrained in the early issues, but he really does develop a really nice style after a few years. He eventually left the comic for greener pastures.

The Total Series
There were several series of the black+white comic, and it involved a great deal of artists and writers, some weak, some strong. There was the little known Arrow Comics that spawned the series, then Caliber who carried it to the end of Volume 1 (26 issues). Caliber returned with Volume 2, which ran for another 15 issues. There were several mini series along the way as well, some good some bad. Several of the main characters you meet in Vol.1, issue #1 survive right to the final issue of Vol. 2. The art gets terrible at times! But I always forgave it because I really enjoyed the story about the survivors I'd followed for so many years!

The Story
I'd have to say that the series is about a dimensional invasion. The entire world is engulfed in a zombie apocolypse, but there's intelligent zombies, capable of transmigration, who command untold hordes of the undead and Graken, gigantic four armed eyeless, hunter-killers. One side struggles to survive and thwart the invasion amongst a billion dead, while the otherside tries to reopen a gate to their Dead-Dimension. What happens in the end?

Buying Them
It is very easy to get these on Ebay or Mile High Comics. There were only two collected volumes , which spanned only the first quarter of the entire series.

I recommend checking it out, if you think you'd be able to forgive a few issues of bad art, here and there! Or, if you like, I could even tell you exactly what happens!

Thanks for the review, Sado. Sounds like good, campy, zombie fun for the entire family. :zom1:

They're not overly expensive, unless they're signed. I've seen piles on Ebay!

Oh yes, and Doug's Comic World (http://www.dougcomicworld.com/) always has alot, email him and ask for EVERYTHING DEADWORLD! (cworld@mts.net)

[awfulman]

This is fantastic news to me! Out in March!

I picked up alot of Deadworld issues last year from Mile High comics, and at the time they had so many available. I was surprized to see, after a recent visit, that their stock has been greatly reduced.

Depending on its success, the old series' may be increasingly difficult to find. I recommend those of you who don't have them and want them, to get on it before the storm hits in March!

[awfulman]

I just bought this online, and I never even knew it existed! Some type of super rare DeadWorld issue.



http://i18.ebayimg.com/03/i/03/13/03/76_1_b.JPG

I'll let you know what its like when it arrives!

[I_Apocalypse]

That looks pretty sweet awfulman! Definately pass on the good word about that one.

[Darth Abominus]

Looks groovy. Give us the 411 on it when you know more.

Looks like 4 issues are in poor quality, and two One-Shots are missing (Necropolis and Dire Wolves) but they can be easily picked up elsewhere.

Ya , I had to bid about 10 times before it would even take my bid , as soon as I got outbid again I said screw this. I knew it was gonna get crazy so I got out when I could. :)

Just as a side comment, Locke's mini-comic in the Cannibal Corpse 15 Year Killing Spree boxset is rather fine.

I just got an email from ebay , its up to $232.00 so far !!!

[awfulman]

The lot sold for US $311.66! Did anyone from this board win it?

[I_Apocalypse]

I stopped lookin' once it reached $70. I was lookin for the good deal.

[awfulman]

That looks pretty sweet awfulman! Definately pass on the good word about that one.

December is a follow up to another story Del Stone Jr. and Dave Dorman created called 'Roadkill'. Both stories follow an intelligent zombie through the Deadworld, except that unlike the other intelligent zombies, 'Hitch' is an neutral individual. All of the intelligent zombies from the Deadworld series do retain their pre-death identities, but are evil, and usually servants to an external force (I say usually because King Zombie develops his own agenda).

Roadkill and December are more like illustrated short stories, rather than comics, even though they exist in a comic book format. It didn't bother me in the slightest!

The format, the writing and the accompanying artwork are perfect. I've often thought that Robert Kirkman himself could write stories within the Walking Dead mythos.

[awfulman]

I just got an email back from Vincent Locke; he's the original artist for the Deadworld series, as well as the new series starting in March from Image comics.

He has some prints available for sale from his website, and said there will be more from the new series soon.
http://vincelocke.com/prints.htm

Of particluar interest is the Deadworld portfolio, which is ony $10! It includes ten 11"x17" prints of nine covers, and one unique print made especially for the package.

[Mutilated1]

Oh I sure wish I had seen this topic earlier, I sure would have bid more than that for the entire set of Deadworld comics.

[awfulman]

I'm getting really excited about the forthcoming Deadworld series from Image comics. Dead Kev posted some information about it here (http://www.allthingszombie.com/comics.php)

I'm dying to know how similar it will be to the original series; will it feature the same characters? Has Vincent Locke redesigned the Graken? Has the story expanded on the supernatural aspect? If the series continues on to issue 20 or 50, what direction will the author take it?

I've order two copies each of each issue, one for safe storage, and one for reading and loaning out. I've managed to get a few co-workers hooked on TWD, and hope I can do the same with Deadworld. I think I'd really like it if the series were to be published monthly.

It was Deadworld, coupled with Romero's films, that caused my addiction to Zombie horror.

[deadwench13]

I have a bunch of issues I'll prob sell dirt cheap cuz I want to collect the new series and don't want to take the time to put them on Ebay. If any one wants them send me a pm or if there are specific issues u are looking for.

It's good that Vince is returning to do the series. My fav char. was always the Deadkiller and Dan. It was a unique take on the whole zombie genre even though it had some flaws it was still enjoyable and Vince improved greatly throughout the series.

I also have some other comics signed by vince like his Plague and a few others if anyone is interested.

Good idea, I think there's a few people here who would love to buy them. I've got pretty much everything, except for 4 issues' alternate covers. I'll PM you to see if you have the exact ones I need.

Deadkiller was an incredible character. For those of you who don't know, Deadkiller is the only human in the series to actually prey on the dead. While everyone else is worried about defense and survival, Deadkiller is intent on hunting the zombies, particularly the intelligent ones. It's really a neat concept. He eventually confronts his nemisis, the entity known as King Zombie, who surprizingly has memories of his human life.

Dan was awesome! Did you know, that he was one of the two characters that survived from issue #1 to the end of Volume 2, #15? Way to go Dan!

I also liked Bowker and his relationship with the intelligent zombie, Reyna. I hated Bowker at first; he was a two-dimensional military guy. But he really took on some character once he began to work with the dead.

[corpse monger]

I'm a hopeless DeadWorld nutboy (I have the ENTIRE publishing history commited to memory :puke: ), and I've actually got some info on the new series.
It won't be a vol. 3 or continuation of the storyline, and it won't start from scratch either...it'll be a sort of remake of the original series. Starting over from when the series was at it's strongest, but with 19 years of artistic growth on Vince's side.
There's going to be a 3 month(!) wait between issues 1 & 2, as it's bi-monthly but thet're giving it an extra month to see how it does on the markert.
The image of King Zombie with the pistol in the adverts isn't actually the cover. If you want to check out the covers to the new #s 1 & 2, go to the image comics boards, go to the joe Pruet page, and proceed to the "DEADWORLD PREVIEW, PLEEEAAASSSEEE!" thread (I'm splatterhouse over there, by the way). Just scroll on down, and you'll find 'em. They're fantastic.

And does anyone know where the hell I can get the DW book one tpb that was on ebay with the DW lot?! I can NOT find the freakin' thing, and I don't have an ebay account... :axe:

[awfulman]

Here's a direct link to issue #1 (http://vincelocke.com/deadworld-1.jpg)

Here's a direct link to issue #2 (http://vincelocke.com/deadworld-2.jpg)

Thanks for the news Mr. Monger!

Which DW TPB are you looking for? I think there's two eiditons of Book One; North American and European. And one edition of Book Two. Here's a bit of info (http://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/backissue.cgi?action=list&title=23099950640&snumber=1) Have you tried emailing Doug's Comic World (http://www.dougcomicworld.com/) ?

I've got two copies of the NA Book One, and would like to get the others.

[corpse monger]

Well, the story goes that after Arrow folded but before it came to Caliber, DW was parked at WeeBee comics for their first incarnation of the tpb. This is the one with the grinning corpse disembowelling the nude woman on the cover, and the one that's on Mile High (the image they posted is actually the cover sheet to hide fragile eyes from the above described image).
When DW fled to Caliber, thanks in no small part to WeeBee's shady business practices, the tpb was reprinted & improved. Their cover features an endless crowd of zombies, and that's actually the one I need. I don't have the 2nd tpb either, for that matter. Again, like finding water in the desert. :cry:

[Divided Soul]

Well man it seems your way into this comic. Maybe you should offer up a review, I'm sure the other members would like that.

[MrCarter-ZombieLord]

Awfulman, Deadworld is REALLY popular for Mile High. Usually right after con season (now through september) when they buy the most stuff their stock will increase. The holidays drains their stock on many, many great items, but Deadworld in particular.

As for the series, it's pretty cool. There are old TPB's out there and they go for cheaps usually.

[corpse monger]

Ask and ye shall recieve.

I'll try to be thorough without being longwinded and meandering. Enjoy! :eat:

DeadWorld
DW has the distinction of being for comics what Romero was for film-the first, and in this reviewer's opinion, best in the genre.
The original Arrow issues (particularly 1-4) are really the series at it's best, with the (at that time, totally original) notion that there were intelligent zombies that were actually directing the threat was revolutionary and by now an icon unto itself. Notice any former Chaos! comics superstar who bears more than a little resemblance to King Zombie? Hmmm....
The first story arc with the initial group just trying to survive the threat, culminating in an epic confrontation at an abandoned riverboat with king Zombie & hundreds of his zombie followers is assuredly a high point.
Shorly thereafter, as the original creative team began to slowly disband, the original burst of enthusiasm began to wane.
by the time the series came to Caliber, it took on an unfortunate "para-military tryant" storyline that was a little too ugly for it's own good (most of the original group ended up massacred, enslaved and/or raped at this point), and offered a bevy of subplots that went nowhere, and remain unresolved to this day. no wonder Image wants to just start over.
I realiize as I start this overview that I'm actually a little pressed for time, so I'll post the second installment hopefully tomarrow. Oh and by the way, over on Vince Locke's website, he's just posted a page of interior art. I highly recommend you check it out!
See ya' tomarrow. :machgun2: :saw:

Thanks for the tip! I've seen the TPB's I don't have on eBay several times, but usually procrastinate until it's too late! I already have two copies of Weebee's Book 1, plus the original issues they're made of, so buying another copy of Book 1 just because it has a different cover strikes me as odd. I don't really need them...

I'll probably pick them up anyways.

DeadWorld Overview: The Conclusion!
Will Tommy Jarvis defeat Jason's evil once an for all?!

Wait, what?

Uh, anyway, I'm back a day later than I expected, so for anyone who was actually interested, I present to you the conclusion of wednesday's DW overview. Enjoy! :eat:

(continued)...It should be noted that at this tumultuous point in Dw's history,
series artist/cocreator Vince Locke began to pull away from the series, dwindling from full artist to inker, to letterer, to just cover artist for the "not for wussies" covers. Steve Parrish & Mark Bloodworth did an excellent job of keeping up the pace, but as the series hit it's later 'teens, they too vanished.
And so did the storyline. See, there was at one point going to be a companion DW mini entitled Rising Of The Dead, but the flagship DW title was so hopelessly late at that point, they collapsed the mini into the main title.
What this meant was that after a single page "what are they up to?" intro featuring series mainstays Dan & Joey, you would get an entirely different set of characters going about their unrelated business in the DeadWorld. And while the art by the Day brothers for this wasn't bad, the series was definately on the drop. By the time DW hit it's 20s, even more random characters were introduced, wildly inappropriate art by Charles Yates & Phil Hester sucked any visual enjoyment from the proceedings, and everything became a muddy mess. And so ended vol. 1.
Vol.2 followed hot on it's heels, and only compounded the errors of the latter day vol.1. Gone was Locke as even cover artist, and gone was the presence of an interior artist that could make you want to read the book. None of the myriad artists the title picked up should've been on the book (except for maybe Troy Nixey), ranging from passable to downright abominable. the storyline(s) didn't help, just recycling debris from vol.1. And so vol.2 lasted all of 15 issues. There were numerous one-shots & minis, but the only really quality material was to be found in DeadWorld Chronicles, which uniformly had good art & storytelling. In '98, DW attempted to relaunch, marginally retitled King Zombie, but lasted all of 2 issues, a year apart no less. Too bad...KZ actually had alot going for it.
Now we see why DW has to reinvent itself so over at Image. But with the presence of Locke as total artist, and shunning the tale's convoluted past for a "year one" approach, I think it has the potential to be the best it's been since early vol.1.
Ribs! :rock:
Hope this helps any newbies! :)

[corpse monger]

Oh yeah, and I have a request:
I'm getting the increasingly scary feeling that the new DeadWorld is gonna be late. SO, please, anyone who reads this go to the Joe Pruet page on the Image forums and hassle the Hell out've 'em to give the fans some kind of update. I've been fighting the good fight, but maybe a BUNCH of impatient fans'll light a fire under their ass! JUST DO IT!!! Thanks.

[awfulman]

I just received my hardcover copy of "Dead Heat", and I sure am excited!

"Dead Heat" is a novel based in the Deadworld Universe. It's written by Del Stone Jr. with illustrations by Dave Dorman and Scott Hampton.

It's a continuation of Del's Roadkill and December comics which follow 'Hitch', an intelligent and neutral zombie. I read in December (a special insert into a Hero Comics news mag), that Del wanted to create a story that stood well enough on its own, but also occured in the Deadworld dimension. He also stated that he'd planned on writing yet another story about Hitch, called 'Heat'.

I tried my best to find out if it had ever been written, and if so, where I could get a copy. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything.

I was doing a Deadworld TPB search in Amazon one day, and luckily enough a book titled 'Dead Heat' appeared in the results. I'd never even thought of looking for it in a novel format!

I enjoyed Roadkill alot, and December even more (both are illustrated short stories in a comic format).

I'll let you know how the book is when I'm finished. But I thought I'd make a recommendation, again, for Deadworld fans to track down Roadkill and December while they still can.

[corpse monger]

Beware, Awfulman...the Dead Heat novel was rewritten by the author to no longer take place in the DW universe. It seems hard to believe, sure, but believe me...I have The original Roadkill, December, and the book and I can conclusively say that it's been rewritten. So on one hand it's awesome to finally be able to read Heat, it sucks that you're no longer reading it as part of DeadWorld. Sorry to be a bringdown, and it's still a GREAT book, just thought I'd save you the letdown I got when I read it.

[awfulman]

[paraphrasing stuff about how the book isn't Deadworld]

Well, grab my ankles and call me a hotdog - you're right!

I brought the book with me to the office and have it here beside me, so I can gaze lovingly at it. During my lunch minute, I read in the preface about the Austrailian lab and the virus...

It also seems like it includes some material from Roadkill and December. I'm fine with it, though.

I'm sure I'll enjoy it thoroughly!

[Dopefish]

I've really got to read those.

[bergs98]

When is Deadworld # 1 coming out?? I thought it was due March 9th? Was it delayed??

[corpse monger]

There's a VERY good, if not solid chance it'll be out this wednesday...I got an email from the DW site saying thursday was a possibility. I'd keep my eyes open starting wednesday.

[awfulman]

I bought a Deadworld portfolio from Vincent Locke last month, and when it didn't arrive, I emailed him about it. He said he was crazy busy trying to meet deadlines. That was just last week, well... maybe 9 days ago. I assume he was working on #1 at the time, so I didn't care at all that I had to wait for the item!

That's all I know - I swear.

[corpse monger]

Well, as I'm sure some of you have experienced for yourselves, I went in to the shop today and no DeadWorld :cry: . I asked my trusty shopkeep about the possible Thursday business, and he told me, nope. Nothin' shipped this week from the DW camp. SO, this means it's next week, or somtime in April. Drag :x .
BUT if you check out the Previews that came out today, they do have a full color ad for ish two, with of course a little summary of that ish's story-which sounds quite different from the original DW #2, I might add-so at least that's SOMETHING.

[corpse monger]

Well, confirming my suspicions, I got another e-mail from camp DW last night saying the book was at the printers but missed this week, so it should be out next wednesday, or April 6. SHOULD, mind you, not "will", but it's a safe bet if the book's already printed-up. SO....now we wait a little more, & see what happens.

[corpse monger]

Say Awfulman, we still gonna storm the ZW gates over on the Dark Horse boards? :machgun2: :guns:

[awfulman]

I did make my way over there last week and posted a message in what appeared to be the correct place. Is there a URL?

[corpse monger]

First off, Awfulman-I'll get back to you 'bout your question very soon.

BUT the reason I'm on the board right now is that over on the Desperado Publishing site they have a 5 page preview from DeadWorld #1!!! It's fully lettered, so you can actually glean some story details. Much to my suspicions, the long-haired character from the previous preview art was, in fact, DAN. Lookng a bit more youthful, the Priest character that saved his life via rifle seems to have in his possession a very important BOOK....shades of DEAKE. Interesting. Well, check it out! Oh, & the Image message boards are back up, so drop Joe Pruett a line on what you think. Dig it!!!

[awfulman]

Many years ago I had a little newspaper from Caliber comics (I believe it was 'Caliber Rounds'), and one of the pages was a large ad for Deadworld.

I think this was around issue #12.

I was in highschool and took a PMT of the image in my Visual Communications lab; this is a small sample of it:
http://awfulman.mine.nu/images/deadworld_sample.jpg

I'm not sure if the image appeared anywhere else but I thought I'd post it here. I don't have the original anymore! As I recall, it was printed in black and red on white newsprint. I added the letters "Skinny Puppy" (Canadian Agro-Industrial band) to it, but have removed them for this post.

I scanned my original PMT print which was about 10"x12".

If anyone wants a high resolution version (10"x12" 600DPI) to print from, please PM me and I'll email you a JPEG.

I got 2 copies of #1, one to read and one to be a nerd with (tucks away in secret spot)

So, what'd everyone think of the debut issue of Volume 3?

[Divided Soul]

Hermetically sealed in a fire proof safe.... :)

[awfulman]

Reinforced between two layers of Kevlar armor I even wear to bed. :lol:

[bergs98]

I thought issue 1 was solid. Interested to see how they blend a retelling of old with new stories as well. Is this still going to be bi-monthly or what? Considering that issue 1 was 2 months late, it's seems like dejavu for this series already with late issues.. etc..

It's going to be bi-monthly until it does well enough to go monthly, I assume anyways. I'm buying two copies of each; hopefully that'll help out!

I just purchased this Locke drawing on eBay. My wife might make me sell one of my Y: The Last Man #1's to pay for it though...
It's Death
http://awfulman.mine.nu/images/death.JPG

I thought the first issue of volume three was fantastic. I may be totally biased though. I sure wish they had the other biker zombies; I always enjoyed King Zombie's conversations with other intelligent zombies.

[corpse monger]

Hey all, but particularly Awfulman...I'm back from a long hiatus with some interesting news...
First off, fret not about KZ's pals...they show up in ish #2, and their roles are even expanded...and the grakken show up too.

Secondly, more good news for awfulman...
Sorry I never ended up questing with you on the DH boards to bring back Zombie World...I was just too discouraged at people's apathy, and then I just plain got busy with other stuff. BUT...a look in this week's Previews revealed that DH, come September, is releasing a new ZW collection featuring Winter's Dregs, Tree Of Death, eat Your Heart out, and Home For The Holidays! Got a swell new cover too, maybe this is the start of something big...

Oh yeah, but to sum up, the new DW is GREAT!!!

[awfulman]

Welcome back - got lost in the woods again?

I'll be sure to pick up two copies and urge others to buy it... you should add that info to the Zombie World thread!

I'm glad to know there's other 'coldies' in #2. I always enjoyed their discussions about their nature/source, and humans; such predators. For those who don't know the grakken, they're eyeless, four-armed creatures from who-knows-where that serve the intelligent zombies. They are absolutely vicious killers. Stunning.

I'm interested to see how Reed changes the character's personas, because alot has changed in terms of social attitudes and gender roles since 1986.

I'm going to have to stop discussing Deadworld in past-tense, and leaking info about it...

I really like Locke's work; the lines are soft and delicate.

Did you ever read RUST? Locke did covers/interiors in watercolor for one of the volumes... for NOW COMICS. Wonderful work, makes me wish this one was done that way too. There's something really unique about how he combines ink and watercolors.

What I appreciate about the Deadworld group, is that they produce one shots and mini-series, and other merchandising as well; T-shirts, buttons Etc. Some people may say that's being too commercial - but I love having these things and being able to support them further.

I think that this series will appeal to alot of people, because it has some great characters, with really interesting situations/adventures, 'discussion' of moral issues, and awful awful gore.

[skellingtonjr]

I got Dead World in a comic shop upstate. It was on the shelves with the new stuff and it said #1. Is this a new or old comic???? The art was ok but the story was good. So what is up with this comic???

Image are doing a re-vamp for the zeroes, Skellingtonjr. I picked it up as well. It's no 'The Walking Dead' but it's still well worth picking up. Not sure about the art-work, but I'm going to stick with it.

Having ditched most of my marvel titles (I just couldn't stand any more juvenile, poor quality comic-reading) I'm finding Image to be the light at the end of my tunnel. Another hot tip is 'Strange Girl' and 'Girls.' Fantastic openers...

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Looking forward to 'Deadworld #2' I've never been a fan of the Talking Zombie TM, but this comic seems worth sticking with.

Strange Girl artwork is by Tony Moore what is the plot about?

I bought the first two books of The Sea of Red from Kirkman's recommendation. The art work is great. Like the TWD it is only in Red,White,and Black. The story line is pretty good.

I picked up Strange Girl #1 and thought it was pretty decent; think i'll check out a few more. Sea of Red is really interesting! I think Dwyer from IDW's Remains did the preliminarty art for the series.

Kirkman has some really good recommendations.

This long wait for the next Deadworld is harsh! I've been so buusy these last few months, I'm not sure how long it's even been. I ordered a print from Locke last month and I was pleased to see he enclosed a signed mint copy of Image's #1!

I ran around in tight little circles screeching until I fainted.

I think the last issue of TWD included a letter from the author of another old Arrow zombie series called The Dead. That might be pretty good too.

[HOO-HAA]

Sorry to wonder slightly off-topic, but the premise of Strange Girl is a post-apocalyptic world after 'God' takes all the 'righteous' to heaven.. leaving the earth (and those not deemed 'righteous') to the Devil and his demons. This is all delivered with tongue firmly in cheek, but it isn't a comedy..

It's off to a very good start... I'd highly recomend checking it out..

Sorry, back to Deadworld.. Any word on the next instalment? A lot of comics seem to be held up at the moment.. :-(

I know this is old news, but I just read that as of Sept. 15th, Deadworld #2 is at the printers. I checked out Diamond's ship list for the 5th and 12th of October and there was no mention of it. Maybe it'll be out on the 19th or 26th. Joe Pruet also mentioned that Deadworld #4 should be in customer's hands come December. I think that suggests they'll be releasing the issues more frequently than bi-monthly, in order to catch up.

[gut-rot]

OI! keep yer fingers crossed dead heads.

[HOO-HAA]

I really enjoyed the second issue... I think it's got a lot of potential. Let's hope issue #3 comes out sooner that it took for issue #2 :roll:

"Great, a walking dead who can't walk.." :lol:

[awfulman]

I really enjoyed it too. I guess Vincent Locke will only be doing covers now, but he'll be working on a DeadWorld graphic novel for publication sometime in 2006.

I've read the first couple volumes and what I liked about #2 was that it depicted the antagonists as not having all the answers. I won't go into more detail, so I can avoid spoiling anything, but it created alot more interest for me! Before this, they seemingly had all the answer; they're trying to figure out things on their end too!

I loved the first page that described the collapse of society! I wish to hell and back that they could SHOW it in a mini-series. My favorite part of any zombie film or otherwise is when the fecal-matter hits the fan, and people scramble. Love it - love it!

[awfulman]

Double post alert!

After only two issues I can see this series is going to both thrill and terrify me! The story thus far is very dark and chaotic, the story feels panicky and tense; good energy to have considering the world is Dead. This is such a unique series, different from the Romero styled comics.

I really like the direction they've taken with the entity known as King Zombie. It was fascinating to see him and his other sentient, transmigration capable zombies discussing their predicament; trying to figure out their abilities in this strange new world.

I've been purchasing a variety of items off of Vincent's website this last year and told him it was his artwork in Deadworld Vol.1 that inspired me to choose a career in art and design, to which I prosper at today. It was these original stories that kept me awake at night terrified and dragged me kicking and screaming into dark subject matters that I still enjoy today. I know it's only a comic, but I'm eternally grateful for it, seriously.

Have you guys ever read Brian Keene's book The Rising? There's a helicopter scene that reminded me alot of what happened in Deadworld Vol. 1, when the series was still with Arrow. I always thought Deadworld would be great in any medium, and Keene's books are the closest thing! I guess there's a Deadworld novel being written too!

[awfulman]

There's some new information available (http://www.garyreed.net/Deadworld/home.htm) about the series, as well as some sample art from the next issue (http://www.garyreed.net/Deadworld/Daliborart4.htm) , featuring the new artist Dalibor Talajic, and some fantastic T-Shirts we can all buy (http://www.cafepress.com/deadworldstore) !

There's even a web version of a Deadworld XMas short (http://www.garyreed.net/Deadworld/DeaworldXmas1.htm) .

It really shows Vincent Locke at his best.

[awfulman]

I just read that Deadworld #3 is going to be in stores on March 29th.:)

It features the new artist. Hopefully they'll be able to keep tis on track!

[skellingtonjr]

I just ordered #3 today with TWD #27 for my comic shop and will have it for tomorrow. I totally forgot about the series until I saw #3 on the shipping list yesterday.
Any one have an extra #2 I can buy? My shop was out.

[awfulman]

I found you an affordable copy on eBay:
Deadworld #2 (http://cgi.ebay.ca/Deadworld-Image-2-Vincent-Locke-2005_W0QQitemZ6601071377QQcategoryZ64QQrdZ1QQcmdZV iewItem)

I've got a couple, one to read and one to hide; I'm strange, ok.

[Cold]

Yes! I'm picking up all 3 issues at my comic shop Tuesday. I know I'll have some criticism for the script of issue One. I saw a few pages previewable on Mile High, and I noticed that the descriptions were oddly structured. It's as if the sentences were chopped to fit the word boxes, so perhaps the script the artist worked from wasn't the final one. Still, you can't beat the DeadWorld concept or plot, and that scrabbly art style suits the zombies.

Does anyone know what's going on with the series? Is it continuing?

[awfulman]

Hi Cold.

I agree wtih you about issue #1.

Vince left the series. But it's allegedly going to continue. It's supposed to be bi-monthly, but that may have been something Vince agreed to. Maybe Dalibor will be available to do it on a monthly basis?

There's two places I go for info.

http://www.desperado.lightcubed.com/COMICS/Deadworld.htm

http://www.garyreed.net/Deadworld/home.htm

[Cold]

Monthly or bimonthly; so long as it continues, I'm happy. Thanks for the links. I'm so psyched for zombies now.

So, I hope for no Dead-killer. The way I remember it, he was the snake-wrangler of the undead. And that was before today's nature shows came along to over-work that formula. I don't want pages and pages focused on combat that's sniper-style or commando-style. I don't want somebody studying the zombies in meticulous detail. I want massive forces arrayed for sieges and sprawling clashes! I want artillery and fortifications and explosives!

Also sarcasm and chain-smoking.

[awfulman]

I think Reed does intend on bringing Dead-Killer into this volume. I enjoyed DeadKiller in the miniseries.

My favorite part about Deadworld Vol's 1 + 2 was the King's hunt for the book (coupled with the Graken scouring the countryside), "surviving" the city, the Bowker/Reyna story line.

Did you read up to the end of the 2nd volume? Some interesting ideas came out of the later issues, and some lame ones too ;)

Those Graken, the ones we first met in Vol.1.... those were infant Graken. You get to see mature Graken later on. Seems that this time, the Graken are made from scratch.

This volume... I really like that we get to see the King and his other intelligent zombie colleagues discuss things from their end. You'll see what I mean.

[Cold]

Actually, I liked Dead-Killer, too-- I was twelve(?), so, hell, I actually loved the concept. I think the mini-series was well-plotted, so far as I remember it. Now, however, the characterization of the 'killer, as I reconstruct it from my hazy memories, just doesn't seem fresh anymore.

I am definitely excited for Graken. I think I read much of volume II, but I don't remember adult Graken. I really enjoyed the King's frustration with his gate-openers and other minions. I think I liked how much he reminded me of my dad, who moved from worker to lower management at about the time I was reading DeadWorld. My Dad had a very, madly funny way of deconstructing his work-life with caustic stories of incompetance and conflict and impressive projects gone hugely wrong.

[awfulman]

I think I'd like your dad! I love stories like that.

The adult Graken are seen for only a page or two as they first appear and then attack a community of survivors.

The Dead Killer did seem stereotypicallly strong and silent. Even his backstory was right out of a 1980's Arnie movie. Conceptually yeh; someone who refuses to be a victim and fights back. :clap:

[Cold]

2 more days, yah!

You'd like my Dad-- everybody likes him. I remember as a kid how much it impressed me that my Dad's workers had the ability, in one foolish move, to wipe out half the city's electricity, or water supply, or what have you... My young logic was that if they could do that, then how powerful must be my Dad, the boss. Only by his sufferance did life go on as normal for the residents of our region. He is an elected official now, so I think nothing's much changed. Only that he gets his hair cut shorter. Still, one of these days, we'll be sitting in the den togethor, and he'll be bitching to me about how some development project (despite his warnings) dug up an ancient barrow of lost Nordic warriors, and, well... You know the rest. What side my Dad would take is anybody's guess. He does get tired of all this human incompetance. I could show him my new DeadWorld comics to convince him that it's no different among the dead-- but do I want to?

[awfulman]

Have you got any of the old issues kicking around somewhere? I went completely nuts on the net buying everything I could over the last year or so, because I'd sold everything I owned as I went through art and design school.

I think I've got pretty close to everything, well - that I know about. I need one of the old T-Shirts and the collected Book2 though.

[Cold]

No-- I did the same. Sold it all before going to college, but, hey, that's what this new series is for: both we and DeadWorld hopefully having improved over time.

One more day!

[awfulman]

I don't know if any of you have ever read a comic in the CBZ or CBR format (electronic copy) but I just found this new Deadworld CDRom that contains all the old issues. Sure it's not the actual copies, but if you'd like to see what the story was about, pick it up!

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6632202376&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:CA:1

[Cold]

I just may- though I spend too much time staring at a monitor as it is.

My shop didn't have the DeadWorld issues in yesterday, and I don't know if
I'll get out there today. Now I remember the hassle of being a comics reader. A CD ROM, like a TPB, sounds better by the minute.

[awfulman]

That's should be a crime punishable by death!

I have all the issues so I probably won't get the CDRom.

[Cold]

I have read the new DeadWorld, and it is incredible. The first issue was much better than I'd expected, with the script/art disjunction limited to the first few pages. Each issue gets better. The priest's death, the gunbattle on the road, the bonfire scene-- really fantastic dialogue and description. I loved Vince's art. It was jarring to go into issue 3 and encounter such a totally different style. However, the new artist is also good at drawing really effective faces.

The Grakken concept, presented as it is here, is creepier than ever. And if the horrific Grakken are NOT a sampling of "life" on the other side of the gate-- then holy shit, how ****ed up is it in the dead dimension? I mean, if those things are just a hybridization... Well, it's got to be pretty ghastly beyond the gate.

Any idea when issue 4 is out?

No idea! My favorite part was when the Sentient Dead discussed their bodies and their predicament. I also enjoyed the prologue a great deal.

[Cold]

Yes, I know what scene you're talking about. I wonder if that dialogue was a humorous way of serving notice that the Sdeads' powers would be different in this series? Alternately, it may just be a context joke that new readers will get in retrospect, when KZ and his troops learn more from the book. If the powers have changed so does the the dead vs. living dynamic.

I loved Dan and Donna's conversation about the origin and quality of KZ's voice.

[raym]

Deadworld?? Sounds cool ^_^ Gotta check it out.

[Cold]

You won't regret it. The 2005 series is starting very strong. I read much of the original and I say this is the place to start. It's more confident, and it's posed to be as innovative as the first series. I don't know where it will go and I love it. They're primed by the first series, so they know when and how to hit the classic set-pieces of zombie horror. They also go absolutely MAD from time to time. You don't know who will be dead on the next page.

You will identify with most of the charactors, and all of them will frequently be endangered, and any of them can die.

[awfulman]

I was surprized to see that issue #4 was out.

It's the best one yet. The 'Deadatorial' mentioned the path of the series and it sounds fantastic. Go pick it, and the other ones up!

In this issue, the story changes from the original series. For you DW fans, you'll see what I mean on the last page!

clever

[Cold]

Ahhh, yes! My comic shop should have called me-- this means even they don't know. Thanks for the heads-up. I am off on a wild zombie chase.

[MrShape666]

I used to love Deadworld back in the 80s when it was out. Too bad Image's revived series didn't last. Always thought it would have made a good TV series if it could have been aired uncut.

By the way RottenCotton.com has Deadworld shirts for sale.

[awfulman]

I haven't read anywhere that it's been cancelled. Where did you read that? http://www.garyreed.net/Deadworld/home.htm

Thanks for the tip about the T-Shirt; I just ordered one!

[MrShape666]

Whoops, my bad. Looks like it's still going. Anyone know a good web site to order comics on. I don't really go to the comic store anymore.

[corpse monger]

...Hey DeadWorlders, gimme some feedback:

Gary Reed was cool enough to put a six-pager I wrote and my friend Ms. Deidre Crouch illustrated up on the DW site.

I'd love to get you guys' take on it...it's done in the 80s style, and is crammed with arcane DW trivia, by the fans for the fans, people!

Here it is....http://garyreed.net/Deadworld/DEADWORLD/fantribute.htm

...Huzzah!

[MrShape666]

Manage to scrounge up a back issue or two and order issue #6. It was Rue Morgue magazine where I reat the article that it had been cancelled after the second issue.

[headless13]

I have about half of the original run. I think the best was the Necropolis story. Very good, and like all the rest very hard to find. The bad shipping schedule i think is hurting this book though. Its worse on shipping than Walking Dead.

[awfulman]

The series is bi-monthly, and there was a set back as Locke left and Talibor came on. I think it's going to be more on track. Hopefully!

[awfulman]

For anyone who wants to get caught up on the ortiginal series, I found out the Deadworld ROM was released.

http://eagleonemedia.com/deadworld.htm

It's $30 USD
I think that the whole thing could cost you $400 - $800 to get the original issues, assuming you could find them.
