XXXombies is a four-issue comic book mini-series written by Rick Remender, with art by Kieron Dwyer. It is the first series for Crawl Space, a line of horror comic books distributed by Image Comics. The first issue was released on October 24, 2007, one week away from Halloween that year.[1]
Plot
Among them is Jenny, a promiscuous but naive girl whose father, Steve Mitchum, just arrived to Los Angeles looking for her. Steve is an expert in the use of weapons and fireguns, and not even the apocalypse would stand on his way. As Lau's group tries to survive the horrors of a city overrun by vicious zombies, a group of mobsters tracks them, looking for their payment at first, and later vengeance, even taking Jenny's former pimp as a guide/hostage. The comic then flashforwards to some time later. Wong Hun Lau (who escaped prior to the encounter with the mobsters) was living a luxurious life by prostituting zombified celebrities, when a truck makes a quick stop in his mansion. Their occupants are Jenny and Steve, who unceremoniously kill Lau with a shotgun blast and drive off.
