THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED ISSUE NUMBER TWO OF
P.M.A.C.: WHEN ZOMBIES ATTACK!!
SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE IN NOVEMBER 2006
Los Angeles, CA. (07/13/06) -- Dead things come to those who wait. Last year, the big news was the release of When Zombies Attack!! issue number one, at the San Diego ComicCon. This year, Officer Frank Hadley and his Post Mortem Animation Control are back to continue the adventure, in issue number two of the proposed four-part series. This time around, however, creators Matt Rose and Chad Waters (Hellboy, The Ring, Men In Black) have teamed up with fellow Hellboy movie alumnus Simeon Wilkins, along with internationally acclaimed cover artist Mike Huddleston (The Coffin, Deep Sleeper, Man-Bat), to raise the dead, in living color! Shipping date for issue number two of When Zombies Attack!! will be November 2006.New to the P.M.A.C. family this time around is Simeon Wilkins, an experienced storyboard artist for such big screen productions as Hellboy, Monster House and Robert Zemeckis' Beowulf. Wilkins was a contributing artist in Hellboy: Weird Tales issue 7 for Dark Horse Comics and provided artwork for the Monster House comic, recently released by IDW Publishing.
"Having worked with Chad and Matt on Hellboy," says Wilkins, "I was intrigued by their new project When Zombies Attack!!, a delicious blend of Reality TV satire and straight-faced zombie terror. I so enjoyed the first issue of the comic, and was honored when asked to supply the artwork for the second. I'm really looking forward to seeing this world develop, and to blow the heads off the undead."
"For When Zombies Attack!! 2, Joe, Chad and I approached Simeon for the new artwork and found that he had the same creative enthusiasm and spirit that I remembered from a few years back on the movie Hellboy," says Rose. Co-creator Waters agrees. "Simeon Wilkins is great," he says. "We're really fortunate to be working with him. His compositions are very cinematic and his eye for detail fills every frame. Our hope is that Simeon's style will help flesh out Burke County and its unusual inhabitants for our readers. We have a lot of characters and his artwork realizes them in a very diverse and unique way. And having Mike Huddleston do our cover again will only complement the interior."
P.M.A.C.: When Zombies Attack!! !! is the first in a proposed series of first-class and very lively supernatural occurrences created by special effects wizards Matt Rose and Chad Waters. The production follows a paranormal clean-up crew--the bureau of Post Mortem Animation Control (P.M.A.C.), headed by Officer Frank Hadely (Frank Rydberg)--as they chase down and dispose of the corporally-challenged.
