A young special needs boy clings to his favorite comic book, "The Restless Risen" as a coping mechanism during the apocalypse. But the zombies he reads about in his comic are nothing compared to the brutal, rage infected monsters that hunt Tommy and his brother Ian in the night.
The Rage Virus has infected billions across the planet, turning them into mindless killers who don't feel pain or empathy. Civilization has collapsed, and those who survive do so by staying on the road.
Ian and Tommy's zombie apocalypse compares to the comic book like a horror film to a Saturday morning cartoon. When the two brothers search an abandoned factory for spare parts, they find a lot more than they bargained for.
This zombie short story is the first part of an ongoing series by new sci-fi and horror author Jack Robuck. Each issue of the Rage Virus series will continue the story of humanity's final days. Is the virus a punishment for our hubris, or simply the next evolutionary phase for the planet's highest predator?
