Comic Day Countdown AND Webcomic Wednesday: Night Zero [Add a comment]

Posted in Comics.
Free Comic Book Day is coming up this Saturday, and I am celebrating by sharing some of my favorite comics this week!
Take a look at yesterday’s post on Demo.
I’m doing double duty today by profiling a webcomic that’s also available as a full-color, very pretty graphic novel.
And that’s Night Zero.
Full Disclosure, I know the people who created this (and helped a bit myself back in the day!). But that doesn’t mean it’s not still ridiculously awesome.
Night Zero is a post-apocalyptic photographic novel that takes place in Seattle. It’s created with HDR photography that gives it a comic book-y look. In fact, instead of being like a normal comic (where someone writes the story and someone else illustrates it), the production of Night Zero is more like a movie set. The script is written, story boards are made, actors are cast, and the shooting is done on location. After that, the images are formatted onto the page.
What results is a comic with actual people in actual Seattle locations with ACTUAL zombies. (Or maybe actors with some zombie makeup. It’s up to you to decide.)
From the Untitled Vignette
The plot focuses on a group of survivors after a “scratcher” outbreak leaves the world in an apocalyptic state. What types of politics and conspiracies will go on?
Night Zero updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on their site, or you can purchase their first or second volume online, at Amazon.com, or at most comic shops in Seattle.
Stay tuned… on Friday I’ll let you know when and where I’ll be on Free Comic Book Day. Hope to see you there!
