Dark Horse Brings Plants Vs. Zombie To SDCC Preview Night

You got your zombies in my plants…. you've got your plants in my zombies… now these two great things merge together in the comic version of Plants Vs. Zombies. Based on the hit video game produced by PopCap Games and in a licensing deal with Dark Horse Comics, this new six-issues series debuts during SDCC's Preview Night.

Dark Horse Comics is thrilled to bring you the first official Plants vs. Zombies comics, released in a partnership with PopCap Games, creators of the smash hit video game Plants vs. Zombies. The first and second chapters are ready for you to read TODAY!

Paul Tobin (Marvel Adventures, Falling Skies) and Ron Chan (The Guild, Husbands) join forces with a bevy of battling plants to deliver a hilarious, all-ages, action-filled zombie romp to your neighborhood!

The six-issue miniseries will be available first digitally and will be collected in a beautiful hardcover available later this year. In conjunction with this epic release, Dark Horse has crafted a standalone iOS app  for Plants vs. Zombies comics, which will be available for 99 cents and includes the first issue! As a special SDCC launch, the app and issue #1 will be free for the duration of Comic-Con International (July 17–July 21)!

PopCap's immensely popular Plants vs. Zombies game finally gets the plant-filled, zombie-zapping comics treatment it deserves! The confusing-yet-brilliant inventor known only as Crazy Dave helps his niece, Patrice, and young adventurer Nate Timely fend off a "fun-dead" neighborhood invasion in Plants vs. Zombies: Lawnmageddon! Winner of over thirty Game of the Year awards, Plants vs. Zombies is now determined to shuffle onto bookshelves to tickle the funny bones and thrill the brains of readers of all ages.

"We're excited to see Plants vs. Zombies come to life as a comic book miniseries from one of the industry's coolest and most innovative publishers," said Jeremy Vanhoozer, Plants vs. Zombies franchise creative director at PopCap. "With Plants vs. Zombies Adventures recently launched on Facebook, Plants vs. Zombies 2 becoming available for iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touch devices later this summer, and Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare shambling to market in spring of 2014, it's a great time to give the millions of Plants vs. Zombies fans around the world a new way to enjoy this beloved franchise."
