[froodle]

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 Summerstoryline 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 Zpocalypse, 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 Z Nation co-creator, Craig 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 Fred 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.”
