Planning the comic

Genre: Horror

Characters - Three teenagers and zombies
Synopsis - Three teenage friends are leaving their house at night after watching a film about a zombie apocalypse; they are then attacked by a group of zombies, and attempt to escape by running away. This is unsuccessful so they have to fight the zombies, and the comic ends on a cliffhanger when one of the teenagers is bit by a zombie.
