Zombies, zombies, everywhere! AWA Studios, the independent developer of bold and relevant stories from the world’s most outstanding artists, writers, and artisans, announced the highly anticipated return of the hit series, Year Zero.

In this action-packed prelude to the hit series, acclaimed horror writer Daniel Kraus unveils four globe-spanning tales from the earliest days of the zombie apocalypse when even the wildest rumors couldn’t measure up to the horror to come. A streetwise Russian cop patrols the back alleys of the opportunistic black market that emerges in response to the crisis…a North Korean soldier observes strange happenings on the DMZ…An E.R. nurse in the rural South fights to protect her hospital from threats without and within…And a transgender flight attendant observes disturbing clues as she crisscrosses the globe keeps a wary eye on the passenger in seat 23C.

Following the successful two volume series from original writer Benjamin Percy and artists Ramon Rosanas and Juan Jose Ryp, New York Times best-selling horror writer Daniel Kraus (George Romero’s The Living Dead, The Death and Life of Zebulon Finch) and award-winning artist and illustrator Goran Sudžuka (HELLBLAZER, WONDER WOMAN, MARJORIE FINNEGAN: TEMPORAL CRIMINAL) team up for an origin anthology series that takes readers to the beginning of the beginning of a deadly zombie pandemic that plunged the world into chaos.
