PESTILENCE TP VOL 01 (MR)

It is the late 14th Century, and a Great Pestilence-the 'Black Death'- is sweeping across Europe, killing over 100 million people. BUT, what if history as we know it was a lie? What if, in reality, this was no straightforward plague, but the FIRST non-recorded Zombie Infestation of man? Ex-Crusader Roderick Helms and his fellow 'black ops' agents the Church, Fiat Lux, must seek out the cause of this undead outbreak and vanquish it before mankind ceases to exist! Written by the master of violence, gore, and mayhem, Frank Tieri (MARVEL vs CAPCOM, WOLVERINE, DEADPOOL), with spectacular art from Disney illustrator, Oleg Okunev, and covers by Eisner Award-nominated artist Tim Bradstreet (THE PUNISHER, HELLBLAZER)! Collecting all six issues of the first story arc from the hit AfterShock series, PESTILENCE! 'Pestilence is a different look at a genre that most readers have seen a hundred times before. The story is just original enough, and the art fun enough to keep this book from being lost in a pile of other similar releases.' - Chris Campbell of all-comic.com
