Whenever writer Doug Wagner and artist Daniel Hillyard team up, fans can look forward to macabre, madcap, fiercely independent comics where serial killers, cultists, and fashion designers run amok. Since their acclaimed 2017 series Plastic, the two creators have established an acclaimed line of offbeat horror books, selling over 400,000 copies of their killer comics worldwide! Now they are re-uniting to kick off Clover Press’ The Fourth Leaf, a new line of creator-owned comics and graphic novels with their brand-new graphic novel, I Love Apocalyptic Zombie Misfits! The hilarious and horrifying supernatural thriller will be available as a deluxe hardcover. Fans can support the project on Kickstarter now.

From the creative team behind Image Comic’s bestselling Plastic, Plush, Vinyl, I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer, and Narco comes a brand new graphic novel that blends the dark comedy and horror they’re known for with a wild supernatural twist, all delivered with their signature irreverent humor. I Love Apocalyptic Zombie Misfits begins when a nerdy pacifist finds himself resurrected in a vat of holy motor oil and trapped inside the hulking body of a supernatural slasher and forced to protect a psychic kid from the forces of Heaven, Hell, and everything in between. It’s a lot to process, but at least he’s got a Halloween mask and a squad of homicidal chickens!

The Kickstarter campaign for I Love Apocalyptic Zombie Misfits will also feature an exclusive Dust Jacket Edition with art from comics legend Chris Bachalo, a Deluxe Slipcase Edition of the book, exclusive art prints, and even a Murder Chickens Card Game! Fans can support I Love Apocalyptic Zombie Misfits on Kickstarter now.

Did you say homicidal chickens!?

As part of the Kickstarter you can not only get the graphic novel, but also a Murder Chickens Card Game!

What’s that about a card game? We have the exclusive reveal of the card game launching as part of the crowdfunding project.

The game is simple, your goal is the get rid of all of your cards, but the murder chickens have other plans. You’ll attack your opponents, steal their cards, reverse the game play, skip turns, and more chaos, all the while the chaos meter grows!

MURDER CHICKENS: THE CARD GAME

The chickens have gone completely insane.

In Murder Chickens, your goal is simple: be the first player to get rid of all your cards.

Unfortunately, the chickens have other plans.

Attack your opponents. Steal their cards. Reverse the direction of play. Skip turns. Swap entire hands. And whatever you do, DON’T LET THE CHAOS METER REACH 10.

Because that’s when things get really bad.

At Chaos Level 3, attacks get stronger. At 6, you can start playing two cards at once. At 9, every attack targets EVERYONE. And at 10?

GOD HAS ABANDONED THE COOP.

Everyone throws away their hand and draws five new cards.

But that’s not all. You’ve got Chainsaw Chickens, Rabid Hens, Egg Bursts, Feather Storms, Apocalypse Hens, The Rooster King, and the ultimate act of chicken-based destruction: TOTAL COOP FAILURE.

Easy to learn. Fast to play. Completely unpredictable.

And if you’re brave enough to play Apocalypse Mode, you’re racing toward 666 points. Land on EXACTLY 666 and you don’t just win…

You become the GOD OF THE CHICKEN APOCALYPSE.

Gather your flock. Start the apocalypse.
