Rob Liefeld has launched a new bi-weekly webcomic called Zombie Jesus.
Bleeding Cool posted a press release and pages from the writer and artist's new project.
The comic will tell the story of the 48 hours following the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, in which a horde of zombies attack Jerusalem in search of the messiah's body.
"Zombie Jesus involves all the key players that moved behind the scenes following the crucifixion," said Liefeld. "The Disciples, Pontius Pilate, Judas Iscariot, Joseph of Arimathea all play key roles as the Undead attack. Most importantly, Lazarus, the man Christ returned from the Dead, arrives to fulfil his destiny.
"Lazarus was delivered from death for a purpose and Zombie Jesus connects all the mystery surrounding the days following the death of Christ. It's 300 meets Dawn of the Dead with a ticking clock reminiscent of 24."
