Year Zero #3 of 5 (AWA Upshot, 2020)

A global look at the end of the world, one survivor at a time.

The zombie apocalypse is not a local event—it is a global transformation. In the third chapter of Year Zero, Benjamin Percy continues his ambitious, multi-perspective narrative, following survivors across the globe as they navigate the first few weeks of the undead plague. From the frozen wilderness of the North to the crowded streets of Tokyo, the series explores how different cultures, environments, and individuals respond to the total collapse of civilization.

This issue deepens the emotional stakes, moving beyond the initial shock of the outbreak to the grueling reality of long-term survival. Benjamin Percy crafts a script that is both an action-packed horror epic and a poignant study of human resilience, while Ramon Rosanas provides the clean, detailed line work that makes the horror feel disturbingly real.

Issue Highlights:

• Global Perspectives: Follow the diverging paths of a diverse cast, including a scientist in Mexico and a young boy in Japan, each facing unique challenges in the new world order.

• The New Normal: Witness the breakdown of traditional social structures as survivors are forced to make impossible choices to stay alive.

• Haunting Visuals: Ramon Rosanas captures the eerie stillness of abandoned cities and the sudden, frantic violence of the undead with incredible precision.
