What do you get when you cross Anti-Zombie Comics and the Middle Ages?

You know, besides Army of Darkness and one issue of Marvel Zombies 5?

Well, apparently you get ‘Knights of the Living Dead’:

Now he’s teamed with writer Ron Wolfe for Knights of the Living Dead, a story that brings zombies to Camelot. The first issue is now available for free from SLG Publishing’s website, where you can also buy the second issue for 99 cents.

Wolfe says not to let the title fool you – the book is no spoof.

“I love the title, but don’t let it mislead you. The book is no spoof on zombies. It’s as dark as anything I’ve ever written,” Wolfe told Robot 6. His previous work includes Death’s Door and Old Fears, both horror novels co-written with John Wooley, as well as Hellraiser comics for Marvel. “That said, the premise allows for some playing around. But I really think, if I just happened to pick it up, this thing would trouble me for some time.”

…

“The first story based on Ron’s original prose came out to a little over 50 pages, which is set when Guinevere has been judged to burn at the stake for infidelity, but you know, with zombies, or ‘the walking starvation’ as Ron calls it, which I think is a really cool way to say zombies,” Higgins said.

Great, now Zombies represent famine?

Is there anything bad Zombies *won’t* eventually represent in a comic book?

Perhaps they can put out a comic where Zombies represent the growing number of people who don’t read comics at all? And the survivors hole up in a comic book shop?

Note: Don’t do that. It’d be awful.

We’ll check out that free first issue and get back to the blog with a review soon, I think. Stay tuned. Or, you know, keep a browser tab open, whatever works.
