This $24,000 Zombie Survival Kit Has Kevlar Gear, Weapon Attachments, Research Lab, Kitchen Sink
Okay, so the kitchen sink isn’t actually included, and neither are the guns you’ll need when the zombie apocalypse eventually happens, but this (almost) all-in-one zombie survival pack does come with an arsenal of weapon attachments, Kevlar gear, and even a research lab so you can find a cure when you aren’t whooping mountains of undead ass. At $23,999, OpticsPlanet’s Z.E.R.O. (Zombie Extermination, Research and Operations) Kit will run you a pretty penny, but really, can you put a price on life? In case you’re still on the fence, I haven’t even mentioned the best part. Check it out after the break.
I’d very much like to introduce you to the Battle Mug. Oh yeah.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
