The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of CALL OF DUTY: ZOMBIES #1 from Dark Horse Comics. Justin Jordan writes, Jonathan Wayshak
draws, Dan Jackson colors, and Michael Heisler letters.
The zombies have destroyed almost everything, and only a few
lucky people remain alive. Stu has done so with the help of the voice in his
head, and that voice is telling him to find Russman, Marlton and Misty. Only
together can they accomplish the goal, and they’re not even sure what the goal
is. Or if they can trust each other. But the voice definitely has a plan.
It also doesn’t help that the zombies have something new – a
leader. The identity of the voice (no spoilers here) is also an interesting
twist, but you’ll just have to read along to see where that twist goes. This
first issue gives us the seed of a very cool story, and the art does a delightful
job of being gruesome almost to a fault (but in a beautiful way, if that makes
sense).
Comics based on video games have a much better track record
than movies based on the same. And I for one like Jordan’s work, so I’m looking
forward to seeing where he and the art team take us.
