Early Praise for The Other Dead:

“How has this brilliant premise not been done yet? Just when we’re inundated with 'zombie this, zombie that,' Ortega, Digger, and Eastman come along with a rip-roaring adventure that provides the most unique spin on the zombie apocalypse in years.” 

--Cliff Bleszinski, Creator, Gears of War

"Gleefully gory and subversive with snark–the only problem with this book is that I didn't come up with the idea first!"

--Hugh Sterbakov, Emmy-nominated writer of Robot Chicken, Freshmen, and City Under the Moon

“The Other Dead finds space to be itself in a genre where most practitioners stick to the tried and true. Original and genuinely scary.”

-Mike Carey, Eisner Award-winning writer of Unwritten, Lucifer, and X-Men

“Ortega and Mesch wisely placed this animal reanimation within the context of the human experience separate from the reanimation...(and focus) on how the undead apocalypse would affect the living of this world that were left to pick up the apocalyptic pieces. If I haven’t entreated you with the story, perhaps I can entice you with the art, because it’s absolutely gorgeous…(and) the animals, both living and undead, are gorgeously rendered.”
--Rob Patey, Reviewer, Ain’t It Cool News
