Dark Horse Delivers Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare Series

Posted on by

Blooming out of the worldwide success—over one million copies sold!—of Plants vs. Zombies: Lawnmageddon, Plants vs. Zombies: Timepocalypse, and the new Plants vs. Zombies ongoing series comes a new comic masterpiece, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare!

In the first Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare video game from Electronic Arts, Dr. Zomboss and his legions of zombie minions attacked the lush plant utopia of Suburbia. In the recently announced Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2, zombies have taken over, and now, for the first time in franchise history, the plants are on the attack. Delivering a story taking place between Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare and Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2, the Garden Warfare comic has the exclusive reveal of how Dr. Zomboss conquered Suburbia. The evil-genius leader is up to a whole new set of tricks—and this time, he’s succeeding, thanks to his mighty Imp and Z-Mech! But hope remains, as our zombie-battling champs Nate and Patrice discover horticultural help from the future and the past, and Crazy Dave misses out on an ice-cream cruise!

Written by Eisner-winning comic genius Paul Tobin with art by artistic wunderkind Jacob Chabot, this series that takes PVZ and you on a highway to the danger zone of awesome fun hits the stands on October 28, 2015!

Sayonara Wade! Your New Look at Deadpool Number 250 – the Death of Deadpool!

Posted on by

That’s right! Add up all the Deadpool series (creatively), and April’s Deadpool #45 marks Wade Wilson’s landmark 250th issue! How is he celebrating? He’s dying! The end of the line comes for all, even one such as Deadpool, but he’s not gone yet! Say your condolences with this new look at the colossal-sized series finale!

First, Gerry Duggan, Brian Posehn and Mike Hawthorne serve up a 30-page main story, as the villainous Ultimatum finally makes their move. They’re coming for Deadpool – every last one of them! It’s going to be a bloodbath, but Wade’s going to go down swinging.

Then – Gerry, Brian and Scott Koblish bring you a long lost, full length Deadpool tale. Remember when Wade got a hold of the Infinity Gauntlet? No? Don’t worry – that’s what the story is for. And yes, you should be worried Wade Wilson is in possession of nigh-infinite cosmic power. First order of business? Summon the entire Marvel Universe for the ROAST OF DEADPOOL!

Finally, a killer (see what we did there?) line-up of celebrities, comedians and friends of ol’ Wade as they pay tribute to the Merc With a Mouth. Say goodbye alongside Paul Scheer, Nick Giovannetti, Scott Aukerman, Ben Acker, Ben Blacker, Jason Mantzoukas, Mike Drucker and more!

Wade will soon be gone, but never forgotten! Especially as he’s poised to make such a grand exit. And you can be there for the ride. No fan can afford to miss the massive 250th issue this April!
