The folks at Antarctic Press are developing a zombie themed deck of cards featuring illustrations from artist Brian Denham (“Iron Man”, “Green Hornet”, “X-Files”, “Angel”). While the deck can be used to play any classic card game, they have also developed a new game to go along with the zombie theme. They have taken to Kickstarter for “The Ultimate Zombie Playing Cards Deck” to seek crowd funding and the backing options are pretty sweet. You can pick up a deck for under ten bucks, or you can go all out to get your hands on some original artwork. READ MORE

But while most Zombie fiction usually describes the state of affairs surrounding the breakdown of civilization due to the rise of these flesh-eating corpses, Brian Keene’s The Last Zombie follows its own unique path. His series presents the rare aftermath of a zombie apocalypse, where there are, presumably, no zombies left in the world, and follows the remaining members of the American armed forces and government who must deal with the consequences of such a pandemic disease.
