ZZN has been talking a lot about ZomBcon since we attended in October. We’ve featured pictures, new products, interviews…hell, ol’ Doc Curdle had so much fun that he’s been asked never to return. It was an event that brought us all together – the beautiful, maggot-filled corpses, the survivalists and yes, even the vampire lovers. We laughed, we danced, and we all shared a moment over the Sunday Morning Brain Buffet. So why did someone have to swoop in and threaten the Con’s future?! Shortly after that amazing weekend in October, Ryan Reiter … [Read more...]

Very Zombie Christmas #3 (thumb)

>Squee, bite Peter Clines in the crotch! The Crotch! The C-C-C-C-Crotch!!< “Doc? What’s all the hubbub, Bub? Is that you in the video?!” “Ah, Jenny…somehow that bumbling buffoon Doc Muerto got his hands on the video footage from ZomBcon. He decided it would be funny to take the worst parts and remix them with that horrible music. It’s like a horror version of “Rapper’s Delight”.” “You never told us the whole story about the Con…what happened, anyway?” “Well, you know how heartily I disagreed with a zombie event without REAL … [Read more...]

At Zombcon I observed a transformation of one incredible lady into an outstandingly horrendous Zombie. I sat down and discussed this with creature creator and makeup artist Damon Vanhee from Bandersnatch Studios, based in Seattle, WA. Daniel Potts/ZZN: Hey Damon, thanks for sitting down with me and talking about your excellent work. The zombie you created is really awesome. I remember you saying it took about 7 hours to apply the appliance to Jessica, but I also heard that you started the process about 4 to 6 months ago? Damon: To answer your questions, turning … [Read more...]

Creator's Edge - thumb

You know what I love about small press comics? Everything. The smell of the ink on the pulpy black and white books, the unique concepts, the willingness of the artists, authors and publishers to sit around for a bit of geek-speak. It all brings you back to those days sitting around the comic shop as a kid saying: “Man, if I was making a comic, here’s how I’d do it…”. And in a world where “The New 52” have taken over the shelves, publishers like Creator’s Edge Press give us hope for something different. So, who are these Creator’s Edge fellas? … [Read more...]

Walking Dead #90

“Psssst. Hey…Jenny…” “Doc Curdle? Where are you?” “I’m in this bush. Over here!” “Okay, I’ll bite – why are you hiding in shrubbery?” “Squee and I might have played a few undead shenanigans while we were at ZomBCon last weekend. There MAY be a military hit squad after us. And Squee definitely lost his pants.” “So…it was a good weekend?” “Oh, simply the BEST! There were groovy ghouls everywhere, and piles of corpses with gooey centers and ohhhhhhhhh, the beautiful zombies. If I still had a heart, it would have … [Read more...]
