New Year’s Resolutions for The Zombie Nation

It’s a new year for The Zombie Nation. Last year petered out and ended with a whimper for the comic as I was buried under Freelance work and other….. Unspeakable things. Things that to even glimpse them would drive you mad.

Thankfully the wife got a job she loves that makes it so I don’t have to take some many freelance jobs and work so late. This translates directly into more effort to creating more for The Zombie Nation and my wife’s company Adorablyevil.com Basically this is the year to turn this hobby into a full fledged business.

That brings me to my New Year’s Resolution:

    Maintain my update schedule
    Get my The Comic’s graphic novels done
    Get my “Big Book Of The Undead” project done
    Get my wife’s side of the business up and running
    Make new products for the store
    Master the art of promoting the comic better and marketing
    Start writing more and posting more zombie articles
    Start my youtube drawing channel
    Get Elvira Mistress of the Dark to sign my boob

That last one is key to my plans for global domination.
With luck, willpower, and various pacts with dark Gods 2016 is looking like its going to be a very big year for me.

This made my day as I grew up on 8 bit games and “Army of Darkness” is one of my favorite movies.

Credit where credit is due.

CineFix presents Army of Darkness retold via old-school 8-bit (and a little 16 bit 😉 game tech. No quarters or controllers required! Subscribe to CineFix – http://goo.gl/9AGRm

We’re gearing up for both Halloween AND Ash vs the Evil Dead with a fond look back at the Sam Raimi classic, starring Bruce Campbell. Ready your Boomsticks!

8-bit Cinema “gamifies” your favorite Hollywood Blockbusters into 80’s arcade and NES inspired action!

Today we present Army of Darkness in the form of an 8 bit video game!

8 Bit a.k.a. the third generation of gaming started in 1983 with the Japanese release of the Nintendo Family Computer and Sega. Can you guess what games inspired our 8-bit version of Army of Darkness? Comment below and suggest the next movie 8-bit Cinema should “gamify”.

ZILF! A Comedic Zombie Novel.

Help my friend Tim Marquitz give you want you crave…. what you want…. Ultimately what you need.

I’m a part of this Kickstarter and Tim is an amazing writer. Support his work for some zombie awesomeness.


A humorous zombie novel written by the dark and demented mind behind the Demon Squad!

Join Ashford Dane as his post-apocalyptic existence is thrown into chaos by the sudden arrival of a ZILF!

Yeah, you know what I’m talkin’ about. If not, look it up. I’ll wait…

Comfortably situated at the end of the world Ash stumbles across a group of soldiers traveling through his neighborhood and meets Vix, the hottest pseudo-corpse since Lily Munster. Lonely, and mostly bored off his ass, Ash invites them to dinner only to have uninvited guests show up for a nibble. A cannibalistic nibble, that is, and these guys like their meat burnt.

Ash’s home and a lifetime of supplies go up in flames and he’s forced to flee with the soldiers. Nowhere else to go he joins their mission: To hunt down the only scientist capable of saving Vix from the horrible infection that threatens to turn her into a full blown zombie.

Things just go downhill from there, hordes of zombies standing between them and their goal. But hey, if they succeed maybe then Ash’ll stand a chance of escaping the dreaded friend zone.

Like the Demon Squad novels, ZILF! will be jam-packed with crazy action, adventure, and excitement, as well as chock full of witty one liners and topical humor (likely requiring some kind of cream) with all the zombie tropes turned on their decayed little heads in fun and interesting ways.

Tim Marquitz does some amazing work. And with 65 hours to go needs a little bit of a push to make this happen. Help a brother out and get cool stuff.

If You Aren’t Watching “Ash Vs. Evil Dead” You Should

If you aren’t watching this show, then stop what you are doing and go see it. Then write the show’s creators and tell them they need to keep making it and never stop.

This show is everything I loved about the Evil Dead and Army Of Darkness. I am highly amused.

Bruce Campbell is still the man.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Tailer… Finally

Pride and prejudice and zombies

I love zombies.  I love them in ways that are best left to the imagination.  hmmmm… I likes ’em.  Let’s just leave it at that.

However, even though I love them I’m also the first to admit that it’s a genre that is in dire need of some fresh meat…. You see what I did there?  That was a pun.  It was “punny” I tell you.  Okay I’m sorry I’ll stop that.

Anyway, zombie stories need new ideas.  They need them desperately.  If I see one more terribly acted “pot boiler” type zombie movies with the same tired viral zombies attacking a bunch of twenty year olds I’m going to scream…. Then I’ll cry.  Then I’ll probably have to sit down and catch my breath for a while.

I’m really out of shape.

So I’m really happy to finally have the trailer for “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.”  And based on just this trailer, it looks pretty good.

Pride and prejudice and Zombies is based on the book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a 2009 parody novel by Seth Grahame-Smith. It is a mashup combining Jane Austen’s classic 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice with elements of modern zombie fiction, crediting Austen as co-author. It was first published in April 2009 by Quirk Books and in October 2009 a Deluxe Edition was released, containing full-color images and additional zombie scenes.  Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’ USA release date is February 5, 2016.

On a personal note.  My wife has forced me to watch many many versions of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.  I truly hate the story, passionately.  I will take great pleasure making my wife watch this version.
