In most zombie tales, the threat is from the ravenous
hordes of brain-eating walking dead; but what if the threat came from
reanimated members of the animal kingdom, not from other people? This is the
question ACTION LAB: DANGER ZONE’S THE FINAL PLAGUE asks, as a small rural
family in Iowa, and people across the country, are attacked by increasingly
feral and bloodthirsty animals and forced to fight for their lives.
J.D. ARNOLD and TONY GUARALDI-BROWN’S THE FINAL PLAGUE,
the first and original animal zombie comic, combines the raw terror and
suspense of THE WALKING DEAD with classic horror films featuring killer animals
like RABID or CUJO, by combining the two in a new and original premise that
predates its imitators. Beyond the blood and gore of most other zombie books
THE FINAL PLAGUE concentrates more on psychological scares and chilling
suspense, and readers who enjoy books and films like THE STAND or THE ROAD will
find a lot to like here.
THE FINAL PLAGUE kicks into high gear this October with
issue number 3, as the infection affecting the animal kingdom spreads, and the
humans are increasingly under threat not only from the undead fauna but from
each other. In the words of artist TONY GUARALDI-BROWN, ”In the first five
issues, the reader will start to see the broad scope of this plague and how the
animals destroy the order of the food chain as well as how humans deal with the
fact that life as they know it will never be the same.”

The Final Plague has begun, as a mutated rabies virus
spreads across the planet, infecting, killing, and reanimating animals, both
great and small. Can mankind survive? And what will happen when the first
humans are infected? Will they fall, only to rise again? Are these really
humanity’s final hours?!?
