Year Zero

“Year Zero is the rarest of gems: a book where the written and visual storytelling are individually great, yet even more brilliant together. My absolute favorite right now.” — Mat Johnson, author of Incognegro and Loving Day

YEAR ZERO is an epic, globe-spanning look at the zombie apocalypse, following survivors from every corner of the world as they navigate the first rumors, brutal outbreak, and devastating aftermath of a plague that turns the dead against the living. From the earliest days of panic to the months after civilization begins to collapse, the series moves across continents, cultures, and years of fear to reveal how different people confront the same impossible nightmare.

Across Vol. 1, Vol. 2, and Vol. 0, YEAR ZERO follows soldiers, doctors, criminals, scientists, survivalists, nurses, refugees, families, and everyday people forced to draw on their deepest instincts to stay alive. As the dead rise and the old world falls apart, the series wrestles with the moral, theological, and human questions at the heart of the apocalypse: what do we owe one another when survival is all that’s left? What does humanity become when the lives go out?
