Boom Studios' Fanboys Vs. Zombies #9 Gets a New Writer with Shane Houghton

BRAND-NEW ARC! PERFECT JUMPING-ON POINT FOR NEW READERS! Last month, the new-and-improved Wrecking Crew wrecked shop, eliminating the zombie threat in San Diego and salvaging what they could of the mecca of geek culture. But what happens when they’re faced with the Ghosts of Comic-Cons Past? Rising star writer Shane Houghton (REED GUNTHER) joins Team FvZ as the fanboy-favorite series enters a new era!

We have been great fans of Shane Houghton in Reed Gunther and he will bring a new twist to Fanboys Vs. Zombies in the 9th issue that will be in stores this Wednesday, December 12th. 

 Fanboys vs. Zombies #9 ships with cover by series artist Jerry Gaylord and a variant cover by Dominike “Domo” Stanton with a retail price of $3.99. The issue will be in stores on Wednesday, December 12th.

Boom! Studios October Solicitations

The return of many great series from Boom! Studios will continue this October, plus a couple new series that look very promising like Freelancers.

 Unlikely partners Nox and Red Reaper have survived the attacks of the deadly EDDA, traversed the post-apocalyptic landscape of the U.S., and formed a rag-tag alliance of former heroes and villains. Now...they plan to strike back.

“Oh word, what are you doing here at Comic Con?” “Oh yeah, I’m here to complete my collection of mid-80s murder comics.” “I’m gonna line up to see the Alien Family reunion.” “I gotta go to Artists Alley and track down Mahfood.” “You going to that Wolfbiter party later?” “Actually, probably not, because I’m a zombie, and all you fools are already dead.” WHO SAYS THIS ISN’T THE GOLDEN AGE OF ZOMBIES IN SAN DIEGO?? Not me. Because there probably won’t be a Silver Age. Written by indie sensation Sam Humphries (OUR LOVE IS REAL) with art by hot new talent Jerry Gaylord! Don’t forget to ask your retailer about the #3 (of 4) rare CGC 9.8 Near Mint variant by MARVEL ZOMBIES artist and Zombie King Arthur Suydam!

Fanboys Vs. Zombies #2

Have you heard the one about the time zombies took over Comic-Con? No one noticed until Sunday! The good news is you’re at Comic-Con. The bad news is you’re hungover, you can’t get over your ex-girlfriend, your best friend is a d-bag, and there’re roughly 165,000 slathering, slouching members of the undead family in between you and freedom. There is no more good news. Written by indie sensation Sam Humphries (OUR LOVE IS REAL) with art by hot new talent Jerry Gaylord!

Boom! Studios Fanboys vs. Zombies #2 will be in stores tomorrow, Wednesday, May 9th. We loved the first issue and are excited to see how the Fanboys will manage to get out of the  Comic Con alive.

Who is Ready for Fanboys Vs. Zombies #1? (First Look)

SPECIAL $1 DEBUT ISSUE! NEW ONGOING SERIES! One is a decrepit mob of gurgling, ravenous fiends…and the other is a zombie outbreak. When there is no more room in Hell, the undead shall take over Comic-Con!  

 Fanboys Vs. Zombies #1 (Cover A)

A crew of feuding best friends find themselves trapped inside America’s largest comic convention transformed into a seething cauldron of zombies. Is a horde of starving brain-eaters any match against reflexes battle-hardened by video games, nerves tested by horror flicks, and courage crystallized by comic books? Find out as an unlikely band of nerds use their genre savvy to survive in Fanboys vs. Zombies!

Cover B

“FVZ is the UFC of nerd battles," says writer Sam Humphries. "Hall H is going to be turned into an action/horror/comedy abattoir. I've been going to San Diego Comic Con for ten years. Plenty of time to formulate a zombie apocalypse getaway AND a plan for total Comic Con devastation. It is going to be so on."

Cover C

“This is the real 'Revenge of The Nerds',” says BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon.  “It's a fun story where nerds really do get to save the day. All the skills these characters have honed in the geek world finally get to be used in real life.”

Cover D

“With the full first issue priced at only $1, you better grab your zombie escape plan and get down to your local comic shop!,” says BOOM! Studios Founder and Chief Executive Officer Ross Richie. “This is a book for everyone in the tradition of great zombie fiction like SHAUN OF THE DEAD!" Title ships in April with main covers in a 30/30/30/10 split by Humberto Ramos (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN), Alé Garza (FATHOM), Khary Randolph (NEW MUTANTS, SPAWN), and Matteo Scalera (DEADPOOL), a 1-in-25 wrap around "Where's the zombie?" incentive by Ulises Farinas, a 1-in-50 sketch incentive by Humberto Ramos, and a 1-in-75 sketch incentive by Alé Garza.
