Jack Chandler is the sole survivor of the zombie apocalypse in his rural farming community, but rather than eliminate them, he has chosen to continue living alongside the undead—including the husband and adopted daughter he fought so hard to have. But when his town is discovered by outsiders, Jack suddenly becomes the one thing standing in the way of those who hope to kill his family for good.

Eisner Award-nominated creators TATE BROMBAL (Barbalien, Batgirl) and JACOB PHILLIPS (THAT TEXAS BLOOD, NEWBURN) team up for a haunting rural character piece set during a zombie outbreak, best described as more

    Horror and drama are made for each other and this story hits you with both square in the face. By the end of the issue there are so many conflicting thoughts and emotions as a reader. This book will leave you thinking, and that's a great thing! Clever writing and contrasting artistic tones drive home the beauty of this issue. This is a dream world and yet still very real for Jack Chandler. However, in the end it seems like his dream may come crashing to a violent halt! Read Full Review

    Everything Dead and Dying #1 is a hell of a start that has a chance of going down as a classic in the genre. It presents a new and different take on the genre and feels like it has something to say underneath it all. Beyond the shambling remnants of society, it's the story of a man who finds purpose in a horrible situation and will have to fight to keep it, even when it feels like madness. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Theron Couch Sep 3, 2025

    Everything Dead and Dying #1 is a clever take on zombies. Its character oriented in a way the genre often isnt, partly because Bromball doesnt rely on the same formula for what the zombies are. Phillips art and Martins coloring further elevate the issue. Horror fans should definitely give this a look, even if they have zombie fatigue. Read Full Review
