iFanboy: Don't Miss #96 - The New Deadwardians #1 with Dan Abnett

The British Empire is dead. Long live her undead hordes! It’s the dawn of the twentieth century and London’s upper crust is applying liberal amounts of zinc cream to stave off utter annihilation. Decades after the Memorial War with the shambling undead of low society, the blue bloods have preserved their storied heritage by voluntarily becoming vampires. With very few pulses racing in either of London’s class zones, Scotland Yard is down to its last homicide detective. But the humdrum life of C.I. George Suttle is about to get much more interesting, as a fellow vampire turns up dead. Really dead. Paul talks to writer Dan Abnett about a refreshing new take on the vampire and zombie sub-genre as only Britain could deliver. The New Deadwardians #1 Written by Dan Abnett Art by I.N.J.
