One isn't really a zombie book. The other most definitely is. And both are out from Avatar Press tomorrow.

CROSSED: PSYCHOPATH #5 by David Lapham and Raulo Caceres

It's Crossed vs. Crossed as huge clans battle to the death! The band of survivors Harold Lorre has connected with have cleverly tricked two giant tribes of Crossed into fighting each other. The hope is they weed each other out and give the scared humans a chance to get far away. But no one suspects that Lorre himself might be a greater danger than the posse of Crossed they are hiding from. Lorre has certain needs that he must satiate. Join us as David Lapham and artist Raulo (Captain Swing) Caceres descend into a story about the worst aspects of human behavior, a tale of unspeakable evils, violent assaults on both mind and body, and of longing for death and the sweet release it will bring.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD: DEATH VALLEY #5 by Mike Wolfer and Dheeraj Verma

After a gut-wrenching assault by both a legion of the undead and the blood-thirsty members of a nefarious, California cult, only two men remain alive under the full moon over Death Valley.

But their night of terror has only begun, as they learn that two of their friends have been kidnapped and imprisoned at the cult's mountain-top ranch, where an army of decomposing cannibals awaits. But beyond the horror of flesh-eating zombies, beyond the disgusting violation the kidnapped women face as they are indoctrinated into the cult, beyond their friends and loved-ones murdered and eaten before their eyes… An even more insidious truth is about to be exposed, the most unexpected twist in the most shocking NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD saga ever! Written by Mike Wolfer this blood-drenched five-issue series features the return of Dheeraj (Escape of the Living Dead) Verma. Don't miss all the terrifying covers, Michael Dipascale paints the Regular edition, Mike (Gravel) Wolfer horrifies with the Wraparound cover, and twisted Matt Martin splatters the Gore covers all over the page. Also, retailers can get a ultra-rare Classic B&W cover as an order incentive.
