Z Nation comics?

[froodle]

From the Press Release:
As the world gears up for Season Three of the fan-favorite Syfy series “Z Nation,” Dynamite Entertainment proudly announces an all-new canonical comic series, entitled Z Nation: Black Summer, co-written by series co-creator Craig Engler and Fred Van Lente (The Mocking Dead, Big Trouble in Little China).

Set one year prior to the events depicted in the television series, the Black Summer storyline will reveal previously untold tales from the post-apocalyptic wasteland, events that shaped the characters that fans know and love.

Z Nation: Black Summer is set in Year Two of the Z-pocalypse, when a drought sweeps across the U.S. just as the last of the canned food runs out. The few survivors that remain become increasingly desperate, turning against one another in a brutal struggle for a potential new food source that could spell the difference between life and death.

“It’s a fast-paced adventure that features ‘Z Nation’s’ signature mixture of horror, humor, and heart and will be a great entry point for new readers while delighting existing fans of the show,” says Engler.

“‘Z Nation’ is my kind of zombie story — full of equal parts gore and fun, with lots of great characters, too. I am thrilled to be exploring the mythology of some of the fan-favorite heroes on the show and capturing the early days of the Z-pocalypse. And to do it with my friend and co-creator Craig Engler is an extra special treat,” says co-writer Van Lente.

“Syfy’s ‘Z Nation’ series has had fans in the Dynamite office since the very first episode, back in 2014. It has a great premise that distinguishes itself from most zombie shows and movies. We are all really excited about this book and how it expands on the world of the series, showing us things that have only been hinted at before,” says Dynamite CEO and Publisher Nick Barrucci. “When we had the opportunity to work on a canon comic series with show co-creator Craig Engler, as well as with Fred Van Lente, we jumped at the chance.”

“Z Nation” debuted on Syfy on September 12, 2014. Two seasons (encompassing 28 episodes) have aired, with the series renewed for a third season. Produced by The Asylum, the film company behind the horror films Sharknado and Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, “Z Nation” is a horror/comedy/drama that follows a group of ordinary citizens on a cross-country trek, as they escort the world’s only known survivor of a zombie bite. “Z Nation” stars Kellita Smith, Tom Everett Scott, Harold Perrineau, DJ Qualls, Michael Welch, Keith Allan, Anastasia Baranova, Russell Hodgkinson, Pisay Pao, and Emilio Rivera.

Dynamite Entertainment’s Z Nation comic book series will launch in early 2017. Fans and retailers are encouraged to follow Dynamite Entertainment’s social media channels for the latest updates regarding creative personnel, release dates, and other details.

Joe Dante's latest film, Camp Cold Brook

[froodle]

CAMP COLD BROOK centers around a horrific incident in 1993 when dozens of young campers without warning, stand at attention, seemingly in a hypnotic trance and proceed attack not only each other, but the staff as well with deadly intent. The survivors then bind their feet with rope tethered to large rocks and drag themselves into the nearby lake. Twenty-five years later Reality TV Ghost Hunter, Jack Wilson, finds himself in a tough spot. His show, “Haunted Places”, is on the brink of being cancelled.

In a last ditch effort to spark ratings to land a final season, he and his producers as well as their trusted cameraman choose the legend of Camp Cold Brook to try and save their show. Their arrival begins like any other episode. Cameras are placed, and the team sets up shop in the dilapidated lodge and wait. But this is not going to be a regular episode. The terror here was real and the 30 are about to rise.

Roadtrip through America's Ghost Towns

[froodle]

There’s something morbidly fascinating about ghost towns. From dusty boom-and-bust towns in the west, to overgrown woodland settlements in the east and even abandoned communities at sea, this country is littered with towns that fell silent due to economic or social strain. We’ve put together a road trip that will take you to the most interesting, historical, and hauntingly beautiful ghost towns in the nation. The route is the most direct possible, so you can pack as many towns into your trip as possible.

The journey will take you through 40 states; we left out Hawaii, Alaska and contiguous states without accessible ghost towns. If you decide to hit the road and check out some of these awesome spots, feel free to jump in at any point in the route. We weren’t able to include ALL destinations on one map, so here you can find the trip in sections, including the East, South, Mid-America, and West portions.
