Matt Miner (Occupy Comics, Liberator) does like a good title. Such as Zombie Punks Vs. The Westboro Baptist Church. With Sean Von Gorman, they are kickstarting the comic Toe Tag Riot and have received quite the response.

Not just from the 69 backers since yesterday, but also from the Westboro Baptist Church themselves, who seem to enjoy the publicity, saying,

Miner describes the comic thus,

Told in a tongue-in-cheek style that can best be described as a comical orgy of blood and guts, the story follows TOE TAG RIOT, a mid 2000s street punk band who are cursed with temporary recurring zombification that transforms them into rotting undead whenever they perform their music. Meant to destroy their career, the woman who cursed them clearly understands nothing because Toe Tag Riot's new monster-punk look only propels the band into punk rock stardom.

Finding that the transformation back into regular, filthy, punk rockers is taking longer and longer every time, the members of Toe Tag Riot go on a last cross-country tour in pursuit of the cure to their affliction, but being the ethicalsometimes-zombies that they are, the band sticks to slaughtering only the worst of what humanity breeds: the homophobes of ONE MILLION MOMS, sexist date rapist DUDEBROS, and racist SKINHEADS, all on a path to an explosive showdown with the "God Hates Fags" hatemongers known as THE WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH.

Combining elements of classic horror like Night of the Living Dead with a comedic monster edge a'la a GWAR live concert, TOE TAG RIOT is being described as "a satirical book for anyone who loves FUN and hates JERKS like the Westboro Baptist Church."

 

Oh and they have also grabbed the URL for godhateszombies.com. Nice one!

This is what happened when I bumped into those folk.
