Have you guys been reading Graveyard of Empires? This mini-series comes from writer Mark Sable, artist Paul Azaceta and Image Comics, and brilliantly blends the war in Afghanistan with zombies in a way that feels emotionally harrowing and completely badass at the same time. It’s not “just another zombie book,” but rather a completely original creation that I’m now kicking myself for not including in my best mini-series of 2011 list.
Today at MC, we have an exclusive nine-page, lettered preview of this week’s third issue. If you haven’t picked it up yet, I highly recommend getting the back issues at your shop and buying this issue as well. I mean, it’s thirty-two pages of story for $2.99. Amazing value. You can find the preview after the jump.
