COVER A BY DANIEL IRIZARRI |
Even though I was new to Zac Thompson and Daniel Irizarri''s universe, I found it easy to slip into his world. My greatest gaming fascination was with the arcade style games of my youth. (Can you lend me a quarter so I can play PacMan? Please?) Still, I enjoyed the first issue in Zac's new series about the infectious allure of video games.
Here's all the info of the second issue.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE NEXT LEVEL? Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to present your first look inside the next installment of the acclaimed sci-fi-horror saga, CEMETERY KIDS RUN RABID #2! An all-new injection of cyberpunk terror joins the game on September 17th as Zac Thompson (Into the Unbeing—Parts 1 and 2) and Daniel Irizarri (Judge Dredd) conduct another unethical experiment at the frontier of biotech entertainment!
Inside and outside of The Blighted Sprawl—the newest DLC update to the video game that nearly killed them all a year ago—the Cemetery Kids are on edge as they watch one of their own degenerate toward more and more irrational violence. Meanwhile, the other members of the online gaming group are being stalked by their avatars in the real world. . . . And that’s all before the new update’s most terrifying boss, the Coyote Prince, prepares to unleash its next merciless attack on four teenagers with nothing left to lose . . . except their own rapidly fraying lives!
PRAISE FOR CEMETERY KIDS DON’T DIE
“Reality and fantasy continue to blend in the most emotionally charged and dangerous way as Cemetery Kids Don’t Die #2 ups the game from the first compelling issue. Trauma and guilt resonate strongly through both the narrative and the moodily stylish artwork creating the perfect combination.”
“Vicious artwork [and] honest writing… The work in this comic has blown my mind repeatedly. Every time I read it, I find something new… A stunning work of art.” –GATE CRASHERS
“Zac Thompson’s writing is exceptional, attention-grabbing, and thought-provoking… The artwork is just as inspiring as the writing… Cemetery Kids Don’t Die stands out as a brilliant example of a comic book that combines story and art magnificently. Zac Thompson and Daniel Irizarri craft a world that is immersive, thrilling, and uniquely executed. Cemetery Kids Don’t Die creates an engaging, captivating, and terrifying narrative that can easily pull readers in and keep them hooked.” —CAPES AND TIGHTS
