The dead began walking the Earth one April morning, but their moans and voracious appetites are only the beginning in the Night of the Living Dead: Revival comic book universe, an ambitious extension of George A. Romero's classic 1968 film. If you haven't read them or want to experience their most enhanced versions yet, Double Take recently released trade paperbacks of all ten Revival series (each one comprised of five issues), and we've been provided with ten graphic novels (a complete set of the overall series thus far) to give away to one lucky Daily Dead reader.

Press Release: Double Take, LLC (“2T”) has released 10 graphic novels simultaneously today for the ultimate binge-reading experience.
These vibrant, diverse stories—set in the universe established by the 1968 film Night of the Living Dead—are much more than a compilation of the five episodes which 2T published as comic books during the past year. Ten teams of artists, writers, and editors spent 45 days re-drawing, re-writing, and re-ordering each five-episode series so that they are more like “director’s cuts.”
The books will be available at local comic shops, bookstores, and online. Each graphic novel retails for $9.99. 2T has also bundled the graphic novels into two distinct collections of five books each. The “Living Dead Revival” Binge Box features Rise, Slab, Medic, Soul, and Honor: stories that all follow favorite characters from the 1968 cult classic from their last dying breaths to their first zombie steps. While the “Superheroes Rising" Binge Box includes Dedication, Spring, Z-Men, Remote, and Home: fun, original stories featuring uncanny superheroes, Secret Service agents, and even a 51-foot tall woman. Each Binge Box retails for $40.00.
About 2T’s New “Fire” Universe
Sixteen years ago, Bill Jemas played a lead role on the team that transformed Marvel from an insolvent comic book publisher and toy manufacturer into a world-class entertainment company. In 2013, Take-Two Interactive Software hired Jemas to start Double Take.
Bill and his team commissioned a new generation of creators to deliver a wonderfully diverse and exciting universe with everything from hordes of walking dead to teams of superheroes, from mad scientists to attractive aliens.
“We believe that Double Take is producing some of the best comic books in the industry,” said Michael Coast, senior Story Editor at 2T. “Our books appeal not just to hardcore comic book fans, but to readers who are new to graphic novels as well.”In conjunction with their graphic novels, 2T has developed the world’s first native mobile comic book player. Using panels to create a stop-motion animation effect to bring each story to life, the mobile player gives readers the optimal digital reading experience.
