[Question of the Week] What One Superpower Would You Want To Survive The Zombie Apocalypse?

It’s question time! We’re back with another question of the week and this time, we dive into the post-apocalypse to find out which superpower would be most useful during a zombie outbrak. But you only get one power! Don’t be greedy! Give us your answer in the comics section… We like when readers are smarter than us.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What one superpower would you want to survive the zombie apocalypse?

Lonmonster: The power to be Rick Grimes.

Bree Ogden: To rightfully and specifically answer this question, I’d have to go with the ability to fly. I think that would solve a lot of issues. Need some food but don’t have a weapon to fend off the hoards of zombies? Fly over them. Problem solved. But honestly…I wouldn’t WANT to survive the zombie apocalypse. Whenever I read an apocalyptic book or comic, or watch The Walking Dead, I always think, “Why the hell are you trying so hard to survive? What is ultimately in it for you? I don’t think your situation is getting any better. Like… ever.” I’m not a pessimist, just a realist. So maybe I should change my superpower to: being-able-to-die-really-quickly-and-painlessly-once-the-apocalypse-begins.

Jorge Solis: Super speed! You know like The Flash. If these are slow zombies, they can’t catch you. And if you’re dealing with hyper zombies, you’re still faster than them. You can save people in the nick of time, if you want to be that person in the zombie apocalypse.

Your Friendly Neighbourhood Brady: Manoman, great minds THINK alike! My first 2 thoughts WERE Flight and Speed. My next one was healing but that seems like an easy-out for this debate. So, I thought a little longer and came up with the BEST one: Resurrection Man! The ability to resurrect one’s self AND gain new powers after each time? BEST POWER EVER. I win this debate NOW! GAME OVER. Thanks for coming out.

Green Basterd: So many choices!! Ahhh just one? Can’t I just be Superman or Martian Manhunter and win everything? I would probably choose flight or speed because they’re the most practical but fuck being practical. Lets go with elemental manipulation. I could use my earth abilities to create a fortress for humanity, fire can incinerate any potential zombie threat, water will feed life into my co-survivors and air manipulation would allow me to fly. Chalk up another one for the GreenBasterd.

Shadow Jayd: Regenerative healing powers, as well as the ability to fly, would be ideal in a zombie apocalypse situation! Though generally, I’ve always entertained the thought of acquiring an evolved ability similar to empathic mimicry, wherein I could manifest the abilities of other superhumans within proximity and retain them indefinitely. Obviously a greedy choice, but I crave power!

Big J: Adamantium claws

Jimbus_Christ: The ability to stop and start time. What zombie apocalypse? I do as I please in the infinite expanse of frozen time.

‘Witchblade’ is Getting Resurrected This Summer in New Comic Series from Top Cow and Image Comics

Witchblade, the popular comic series that initially ran from 1995 to 2015 and launched a TV series, is getting resurrected in a new comic series from Top Cow and Image Comics. It’s set to unleash heavy metal, black magic and blood this summer.

Look for the new Witchblade series to launch on July 17, 2024.

In Witchblade #1, “New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini’s life was forever fractured by her father’s murder. Cold, cunning, and hellbent on revenge, Sara now stalks a vicious criminal cabal beneath the city, where an ancient power collides and transforms her into something wild, magnificent, and beyond her darkest imaginings. How will Sara use this ancient power, or will she be consumed by it?”

The series is penned by NYT Best-Selling writer Marguerite Bennett (Animosity, Batwoman, DC Bombshells) and visualized by artist Giuseppe Cafaro (Suicide Squad, Power Rangers, Red Sonja). The creative duo is working with original co-creator Marc Silvestri, who is the CEO of Top Cow Productions Inc. and one of the founders of Image Comics. They are set to reintroduce the series to Witchblade’s enduring fans with “a reimagined origin with contemporary takes on familiar characters and new story arcs that will hook new readers and rekindle the energy and excitement that fueled the 90’s Image Revolution that shaped generations of top creators.”

Bennett said in a statement, “The ability to tell a ferocious story full of monsters, sexuality, vision, and history was irresistible.” She adds, “Our saga is sleek, vicious, ferocious, and has a lot to say about power in the 21st century and will be the first time that we are stopping the roller coaster to let more people on. I’ve loved Witchblade since I was a child, and there is truly no other heroine like Sara with such an iconic legacy and such a rich, brutal relationship to her own body.”

“The Witchblade universe is being modernized to reflect how Marguerite beautifully explores the extreme sides of Sara through memories, her personal thoughts, like desire and hunger, in her solitude and when she is possessed by the Witchblade. So, I had to visually intersect a noir True Detective-like world with a supernatural, horror world that is a fantastic mix between Berserk and Zodiac,” Cafaro stated.

Marc Silvestri notes, “This is brand new mythology around Sara, and I can’t wait for you to fall in love with her and all the twists and turns. Discover Witchblade reimagined this summer, and join us as we bring all the fun of the 90s to the modern age and see how exciting comics can be. I can’t wait for you to read this new series.”

Witchblade#1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, July 17th, for $4.99 for 48 pages. And it’ll come with multiple cover variants.
