Dark Horse Comics is thrilled to bring you the first
official Plants vs. Zombies comics, released in a partnership with PopCap
Games, creators of the smash hit video game Plants vs. Zombies. The first and
second chapters are ready for you to read TODAY!
Paul Tobin (Marvel Adventures, Falling Skies) and Ron
Chan (The Guild, Husbands) join forces with a bevy of battling plants to
deliver a hilarious, all-ages, action-filled zombie romp to your neighborhood!
The six-issue miniseries will be available first
digitally and will be collected in a beautiful hardcover available later this
year. In conjunction with this epic release, Dark Horse has crafted a
standalone iOS app for Plants vs. Zombies comics, which will be available for
99 cents and includes the first issue! As a special SDCC launch, the app and
issue #1 will be free for the duration of Comic-Con International (July 17–July
21)!
PopCap’s immensely popular Plants vs. Zombies game
finally gets the plant-filled, zombie-zapping comics treatment it deserves! The
confusing-yet-brilliant inventor known only as Crazy Dave helps his niece,
Patrice, and young adventurer Nate Timely fend off a “fun-dead” neighborhood
invasion in Plants vs. Zombies: Lawnmageddon! Winner of over thirty Game of the
Year awards, Plants vs. Zombies is now determined to shuffle onto bookshelves
to tickle the funny bones and thrill the brains of readers of all ages.
“We’re excited to see Plants vs. Zombies come to life as
a comic book miniseries from one of the industry’s coolest and most innovative
publishers,” said Jeremy Vanhoozer, Plants vs. Zombies franchise creative
director at PopCap. “With Plants vs. Zombies Adventures recently launched on
Facebook, Plants vs. Zombies 2 becoming available for iPads, iPhones, and iPod
Touch devices later this summer, and Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare
shambling to market in spring of 2014, it’s a great time to give the millions
of Plants vs. Zombies fans around the world a new way to enjoy this beloved
franchise.”
