Book Synopsis

2026 EISNER AWARD NOMINEE FOR BEST LIMITED SERIES

"Working toward a powerful, emotional conclusion, Everything Dead & Dying is a thrilling yet touching graphic novel in which a man struggles to accept the loss of his family." --Foreword Reviews

The Last of Us meets The Walking Dead in this haunting, rural character piece set during the aftermath of a zombie outbreak.

Jack Chandler is the sole survivor of the zombie apocalypse in his rural farming community, but rather than eliminate them, he has chosen to continue living alongside the undead -- including the husband and adopted daughter he fought so hard to have. But when his town is discovered by outsiders, Jack suddenly becomes the one thing standing in the way of his family and those who hope to kill them for good.

Eisner Award-nominated creators Tate Brombal (Barbalien, Batgirl) and Jacob Phillips (That Texas Blood, Newburn) team up for this unforgettable original story.
