New York Times Bestselling Author Max Brooks, unleashes
the next exciting chapter of his Zombies vs. Vampires comic book series
Extinction Parade: War in July. Brooks
has been a driving force behind the resurgence in zombie interest over the last
decade with his seminal prose works The Zombie Survival Guide and World War
Z. Fans have flocked to his novels and
panel presentations to get the latest undead survival techniques from the
charismatic master scholar.
Avatar Press is pleased to announce this horrifying
continuation of Brooks’ groundbreaking series chronicling the breaking point
for vampires as the privileged aristocratic race of immortals is finally forced
to face a critical realization – that the human race won’t solve the zombie
plague without their aid. And when these
powerful undead creatures are finally mobilized the violent clash of Vampires
and Zombies is summed up best in the new chapter’s subtitle: War.
Brooks explains the philosophy behind exposing the
weaknesses of the vampire race in Extinction Parade: War, “Every individual
human being knows life is hard. Sooner or later adversity’s gonna come
knocking. But if you’re a vampire you’ve had a thousand years of comfortable
joy. You’re not ready! You don’t have those survival skills.”

crossfire. This series further examines
Brooks’ fascination with the lethal races of the undead and brings his unique
voice to comics at a time when horror fiction is at an all-time high in
popularity.
