This is it-our knights vs. zombies epic reaches a startling climax! Can Roderick and his able men of Fiat Lux navigate through the Church's conspiracy and finally put an end to this apocalypse of the undead? Or will the unliving and the forces of evil reign forevermore?
Written by the master of violence, gore, and mayhem, Frank Tieri (Marvel vs Capcom, Wolverine, Deadpool), with spectacular art from illustrator Oleg Okunev, and covers by Eisner Award-nominated artist Tim Bradstreet (The Punisher, Hellblazer)!
Pestilence is a refreshing new take on the zombie genre. It really drives home the claustrophobic onslaught of the undead. They may not be strong or fast, but they're unending. They will wear you down with their hunger for flesh. That is, if you're a normal person. That's not the case with Fiat Lux. These are the toughest warriors this time period has seen. They were first driven by their orders from the Church, but now they're pushed on by a need for justice. What untold horrors lay in wait for them after encountering a horde of eaters?

Pestilence #6 is an intensely fun, fairly flawed romp. However, the good outweighs the bad by quite a bit. Frank Tieri, Eric Bromberg, Brandon Auman, Oleg Okunev, Rob Schwager, and company have made a really fun horror tale here. As such, this one gets a recommendation, and you should certainly check it out. Read Full Review
