Edge of Extinction #3 - Sample ArtEdge of Extinction #3 - Sample ArtThe Review: In the latest issue of this fast-paced zombie horror story, Day One of the end of the world begins to draw to a close. Some of the central characters are a bit faster on the ball when it comes to realising what this actually means, while some aren’t ready to accept the scale of the infection sweeping across Britain, and perhaps never will be. I don’t fancy the chances of the latter.

As the dead walk, there are some tough choices ahead and in this brilliant issue of Edge of Extinction, there’s a key scene that encapsulates the dilemma survivors now face, which like other reviewers, I’m not prepared to spoil, but here’s a page running up to it…

Edge of Extinction #3 - Sample ArtThis ongoing, real time zombie horror comic is superbly written by Baden James Mellonie with art from Paul Peart-Smith that perfectly complements the script, in my view. Fast-paced, with no-holds barred, the creative team deliver a page-turning treat for horror fans that will have you on the edge of your seat, never mind extinction, from start to finish. 

With Issue 4 well underway and issues 5-8 in the works for 2020, if you aren’t already on board for this comic, then head over to the official web site and grab copies, before #1 sells out completely.
