Most of you by now have heard of World War Z by Max Brooks, right? Ever since the publication of his Zombie Survival Guide in 2003, the worlds leading ‘authority’ on these nonexistent killers has used the specter of the walking dead to shine a piercing light on modern neuroses. His 2006 novel, World War Z, imagined a zombie world war and reported it as though it had actually happened–in the process. It is a compelling read and I manage to pull it out once a year (always in October) to relive it. If you are set to make the roadie like I am to the Denver Comic Con this June, consider yourself warned…or lucky. Max Brooks is part of the guest line up.
