That&rsquo;s the premise for ZMD: ZOMBIES OF MASS DESTRUCTION, a new action-horror comic series coming this summer from Red 5 Comics and acclaimed creator, Kevin Grevioux.  A prolific comic writer, Grevioux is perhaps best known as the creator of the UNDERWORLD movie franchise,<!--more--> and recently wrapped production in New Zealand on the third installment &#8212; UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00ab\u00a0ZMD: ZOMBIES OF MASS DESTRUCTION is a bit of a return to my horror roots,\u00a0\u00bb said Grevioux. \u00ab\u00a0Prior to creating this series, I was never really a big fan of zombies.  But I came up with what I felt was an interesting twist on the genre and I&rsquo;m thankful that Paul Ens and Scott Chitwood were open to the idea.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Air-dropped into the deadliest hot zones, the walking dead of ZMD: ZOMBIES OF MASS DESTRUCTION indiscriminately infect every last warring insurgent &#8212; on either side of the conflict.  Specifically engineered to be photosensitive, once enemy infection becomes complete by dawn, both the originals and newly created zombies dissolve as a means to control widespread and accidental zombification. This allows live soldiers to enter and safely occupy the now-combatant-free territory.  However, this plan takes a deadly turn when one of the U.S. zombies, dubbed &#8212; ZOMBIE ZERO &#8212; fails to dissolve at the expected time, and begins to wreak havoc in the Middle East by creating others like him.  This leads the U.S. military brass to send in a special operative to quietly take out Zombie Zero and his minions before their existence becomes known to the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In just its seventh month of publishing, Red 5 Comics has already received critical and popular attention for such series as NEOZOIC, ABYSS and AFTERBURN.  The company was recently honored with Diamond Comics&rsquo; GEM Award as \u00ab\u00a0Best New Publisher\u00a0\u00bb, and is up for numerous industry awards including two coveted Eisner Award nominations for ATOMIC ROBO with the prestigious \u00ab\u00a0Best Limited Series\u00a0\u00bb honor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00ab\u00a0From the beginning, we wanted Red 5 Comics to deliver a wide variety of theatrical-scale and cinematic-style entertainment in the comic medium that we love,\u00a0\u00bb said Red 5 Comics co-founder, Paul Ens.  \u00ab\u00a0We&rsquo;d been looking for a horror \/ thriller title to add to our lineup, but nothing was standing out.  When Kevin approached us about ZMD, we knew immediately he had a unique and exciting take on a genre that isn&rsquo;t always known for fresh ideas.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ZMD: ZOMBIES OF MASS DESTRUCTION #1, the first of six bi-monthly issues, will be on shelves this July.
