Coming on the heels of the announcement that Legendary Pictures has optioned Extinction Parade for television, the New York Times Bestselling Author Max Brooks unleashes the next chapter of his Zombies vs. Vampires comic book series in July, Extinction Parade: War.

Avatar Press announced the continuation of Brooks' horrifying series chronicling the breaking point for vampires as the privileged aristocratic race of immortals is finally forced to face a critical realization – that the human race won't solve the zombie plague without their aid. And when these powerful undead creatures are finally mobilized the violent clash of Vampires and Zombies is summed up best in the new chapter's subtitle: War.

At the forefront of the zombie resurgence with his novels The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z, Brooks explains the philosophy behind exposing the weaknesses of the vampire race in Extinction Parade: War, "Every individual human being knows life is hard. Sooner or later adversity's gonna come knocking. But if you're a vampire you've had a thousand years of comfortable joy. You're not ready! You don't have those survival skills."

Extinction Parade: War #1 is a super-sized July shipping comic book that continues the story of Extinction Parade following issue #5. War #1 includes the previously solicited single issue comics content of Extinction Parade #6 & #7 which have been cancelled. The Extinction Parade Trade Paperback Collection also shipping in July.
