McKie the Moose World (a thinly-disguised Disney World) is being overrun by mindless zombies created by the radiation of a mind-control beam left over from the Strategic Defense Initiative, now in the hands of a rogue C.I.A. faction called “The Black Room.” Unfortunately, the president’s daughter is enjoying a bit of recreation just as the zombie horde attacks. This scenario is ample grist for political satire as well as over-the-top zombie mayhem. Rik Rawling’s art is an intriguing combination of horror and humor styles in this campy homage to an archetypal film.

George Romero’s 1968 low-budget horror film, Night of the Living Dead has become a classic of the genre. Although inspired by the movie and possessing the same title, this comic series is not an adaptation of the film. In fact, only the presence of zombies and the similar method of their creation, are elements that these two entertaining distractions share.
