Zombie comics are pretty damn awesome. Sadly, they are also usually pretty damn underground. If you aren’t from ‘The Walking Dead’ or a ‘Marvel Zombie’ you are pretty much regulated to the indie shelf. Don’t get me wrong there are other successful ones out there and a good chunk of the indie ones are pretty damn good – the problem is finding copies of them to be able to read. Or, at least a full set of copies to a series.
So here we have a new indie one being put out but it’s being put out through crowdsourcing and I have to say it looks pretty damn good!
Of course that might just have something to do with my love of watching attractive women kill zombies, whose to say?
Designer, model and now horror writer, Jennifer J. Hartsoe enters the comic book industry with her debut graphic novel a zombie apocalypse tale called Hell Riot: Zombie Hunter X! The story and characters created by her husband, indie comic legend, Everette Hartsoe ( creator of Razor) for their new comic company HARTSOE STUDIOS!
Hell Riot is the story about a group of women that must set aside their differences and come together to stop a hoard of zombies from taking over their small town of Hell Riot Nevada, after most of the men have been eaten or turned. This 48-page graphic novel will be in full color and feature art by Everette Hartsoe and Erik Williams.
This book comes hot on the heels of Everette Hartsoe’s successful RAZOR: SCARS Kickstarter campaign which brought in enough funding to develop a new universe of Hartsoe creations for 2014-15.
“This is a dream come true for me to have a project I can really cut loose on and show my talent as a writer as well as model for the main character in the book, Jenni Tonic, A tough as nails, ex-roller derby champion, stuck in the wrong place at the wrong time. This will rock your socks off!
Jennifer J. Hartsoe will launch via Kickstarter the new graphic novel and hopes the reaction to the project will enable the story to continue and possibly create a online show if pledges exceed expectations.
