With the un-dead causing mayhem and New York City in shambles, the President has his finger on the button—ready to nuke Manhattan Island.  There remains only one hope, one way to avert another disaster and save the city—a good cheery new musical!

Unlike the zombie films of yore, Zombie Broadway imagines zombies as not so different from regular folk; they eat candy and junk food and even enjoy a nice evening out at the theater.  Somehow, Broadway show tunes sedate their violent ways. Could a Broadway show starring singing and dancing zombies be the key to saving the City? You’ll have to read the book to find out.  On sale now at VirginComicsStore.com

“Awake. Seek truth. Stumble. Begin again.” This is the simple yet profound message from Buddha, the man who reached enlightenment and was raised to the rank of an immortal. Hitting comic shops today is Deepak Chopra’s Buddha #1, the comic book adaptation of his New York Times bestseller. Experience the life of the Awakened One as adapted by Joshua Dysart (Violent Messiahs, Swamp Thing, B.P.R.D.) and lavishly illustrated by Harshavardan Kadam.

Also hitting stores today is Dave Stewart’s Zombie Broadway. When a zombie plague ravages New York City leaving only a couple thousand survivors, the government plans to bomb the city (in spite of the humans still living there) to get rid of the infestation. That is, until the mayor realizes that zombies react positively to… show tunes?! Hence, a Broadway musical starring zombies is staged in a last-ditch attempt to bring peace to the city. Will it be a standing ovation or curtains for us all?!

So while browsing blogs that posted about VC this weekend, I came across this page from Walk In #6 that has caught some attention of fans. It would be great if our fans can help us create some buzz around Walk In and our other stories.
