The bullets are flying, the soldiers are scared out of their minds, and the dead are shambling back to life to fight again within the pages of the newest pages of Mark Kidwell’s ” ’68 “. Inside you can check out all of the action as publisher IDW has released a 5 page preview of the series’ fourth installment. Read on for the skinny…
With so much hype over Mark Kidwell and Co.’s “’68″ monthly it was almost a certainty that the title would deliver a much needed storyline ( See: “Backbone”) to a zombie title not named “THE WALKING DEAD”. By all means it didn’t have to be as good as it turned out to be, but the creative team delivered, and this week is arguably the best of the lot. Read on for the 5 page preview…
Last week we brought you the news that publishers Image Comics would be bringing readers an all new “’68″ one-shot entitled “HARDSHIP”, and in typical Image fashion the company is keeping the momentum rolling with yet another one-and-done called “JUNGLE JIM”.

“Vietnam, 1968: Behind enemy lines, a soldier stands alone. A one-man army…armored against the risen, hungry dead under burlap, bamboo and Army green. Armored against the living with a Bowie knife and a mobile arsenal. If you got left behind…he’ll find you. If you’re the enemy…you’ll never see him coming. If you’re a zombie…he’ll kill you again. Sometimes, to slay monsters…you have to become one yourself. Jungle Jim is a stand-alone one-shot comic story set in the grim world of ’68.”

“A young soldier comes back home from Vietnam. However, seen through the eyes of one traumatized by battle and suffering from previously latent schizophrenia, Nebraska does not appear to be the gentle place of his memories. In fact, it appears to be a battleground teaming with the threats of enemy occupation… from both ‘Charlie’ and the undead. ’68: HARDSHIP is a journey into a psychological realm of hallucination, violence and undead horror!”

Snowball, keep reading to get the intel on this comic and all of the lovely gore that comes with it…
Let’s face it: we all love zombies and war. I mean c’mon – it is easily the most played out subgenre running right now for the 18-25 crowd besides sparkly vampires and vibrantly colored socks. Granted, this alternative is infinitely more entertaining, and won’t leave you feeling emasculated and itchy.

If you are one of the few who has yet to get in there, then we suggest you read on for the 5 page preview of the series’ second ish that hits shelves this Wednesday. Read on for the skinny…
