Zombies Eat Republicans was developed by Scott Ownbey to maximize the hype surrounding the zombies and the presidential election basing the story around both fictional and real characters. The central character Mike Scott is a fictional republican press secretary for Mitt Romney whose quest to win the race for the presidency turns into a battle to save humanity.

In creating the website the Hype comics team wanted to be able to create movement in sensations in a format that would translate for the web, Ipad and Android devices, a true cross platform product.

"Using HTML 5 allows us to publish the project for the web today and in 2 weeks we will launch a web app version of the site, so a reader can download and experience smooth playback on mobile devices such the iPad, without going through the Apple Store," remarks Antolin Partidas Chief Information Officer and Lead programmer at Hype comics.
