You’ve probably heard of the Trekkie/Anti-Zombie crossover, ‘Night of the Living Trekkies’, by now. You may be aware that there’s a Star Wars Anti-Zombie book as well, ‘Death Troopers’. Given the presence of such high-profile genre staples getting down in the gutter, you might assume that nerds had enough to read and could leave Zombies alone for a bit in their nerdy, recursive fiction.

You’d be wrong. Let me introduce you to an Anti-Zombie comic book, available at a comic convention awash in Anti-Zombie propaganda events this year to promote a TV show spun-off from another Anti-Zombie comic book (Walking Dead, in case you’re wondering).

Here you have it, perhaps a new low point for Western Civilization, ‘Fanboys vs. Zombies’:

According to The Wrap, Ben Silverman’s Fanboys vs. Zombies graphic novel is set to invade Comic-Con. The humorous graphic novel focuses on a group of nerdy friends making their annual pilgrimage to the San Diego event. When a zombie outbreak happens, they use the knowledge they’ve gleaned from comics, video games and movies to thwart the undead horde and get out of Dodge with their fair share of coveted goodie bags.

Just check out the cover art on this unholy abomination:

Yeah. Hmm.

I dread the day I eventually have to review this thing, I may blow out my liver slogging through it with my trusty review companion Jose Cuervo.
