Page 92: Mac Attack #2
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007Happy Halloween! I wonder how many of you will be dressing as your favorite Last Blood character while trick or treating. Probably all of you. For those of you who are very fat, I suggest dressing as the Fat Vampire and wearing only a bloody apron while wielding cleavers, as seen on the right side of Panel 2 above.
The most important thing for you to do, however, is to go to your local comic book shop and buy Last Blood #3, in stores today! If your local shop isn’t carrying Last Blood, kill the one who chose not to carry it.
I like Page 92, which is a callback to the first Mac Attack (the term for when Mac slices off three zombie heads with one swing of his axe) from Page 26.
I’m looking for names for the giant vampire in Panels 3 and 4, so give your suggestions in the comments below, but look out for spoilers.

October 31st, 2007 at 4:02 am
Nice comic as usual.
October 31st, 2007 at 4:03 am
I see a vampire who looks very pleased with a human. I love Mac’s character.
October 31st, 2007 at 4:06 am
The badassity of this is rivaling 300.
October 31st, 2007 at 4:10 am
I love the way the zombies eye is flying out of his head by the force of mac’s axe splitting his skull. Little things like this attention to detail is why I keep coming back to this comic. Kudos, and I am definately going to finish reading the comic and eagerly await the movie.
October 31st, 2007 at 4:22 am

October 31st, 2007 at 4:28 am
The fat vampire scares me
His full moon only further amplify’s it. I love where this is going ^_^
October 31st, 2007 at 4:29 am
THANK YOU!
Mac attack!!!!!
yeeee haw!!!
October 31st, 2007 at 4:34 am
why is the fat guy naked?
anyway great comic, I love how the zombie’s eyes pop out
October 31st, 2007 at 4:34 am
Mac is a badass, he’s easily one of the most likeable characters
Brave and selfless to the cause!
He better not die damnit!
October 31st, 2007 at 4:35 am
“why is the fat guy naked?”
From Owen’s e-mail an hour ago: “Fat vamp also is naked except for his bloody apron so that’s his bare ass hanging out. He’s crazy like that.”
October 31st, 2007 at 4:47 am
I always want to type something witty here but I can never think of anything! Just wanted to say that this is, again, an awesome page! I’m loving where this story line is going.
October 31st, 2007 at 5:02 am
Gimme more …. MORE !…..
October 31st, 2007 at 5:13 am
Addison Payne is fucking badass, firing two guns simultaneously with any sort of accuracy is a very difficult thing to do.
October 31st, 2007 at 5:15 am
Woot! We get to see Mac’s triple kill again : D
October 31st, 2007 at 5:16 am
Here’s a good question. If you were a vampire what would your weapon(s) of choice be? I personally would take two swords like the second vampire from the left on the first panel.
October 31st, 2007 at 5:16 am
He looks like a Vaugn or because i like names that totally dont fit the character: Edgar
October 31st, 2007 at 5:20 am
OOh and name the fat naked vampire Cannibal
October 31st, 2007 at 5:23 am
Call him McDuncan.
(Inspired by Michael Clarke Duncan).
October 31st, 2007 at 5:29 am
I would suggest Roderick for a name. The bare-assed vampire adds a touch of class to an already classy comic.
October 31st, 2007 at 5:40 am
For the big vampire in panels three and four, i would suggest Drederick as his name, or Dred for short.
I think it sounds cool.
October 31st, 2007 at 5:48 am
Halloween … 350 million zombies… at least one full moon… and the party is getting started
October 31st, 2007 at 5:57 am
Yeah, a handful of fighters vs. impossible odds, only, without the Hot Gates to aid in whittling down the sheer numbers…
300 meets Zombies?! Zack Snyder would hump this movie… ^_^ I’d personally bring a one-handded dwarven battle axe with barbs and a shield. Not a fan of swords but the shield + weapon look is definitely my idea of zombie ownage… *SHIELD BASH* whap”
October 31st, 2007 at 6:03 am
Name his Brian or Gregory.
October 31st, 2007 at 6:05 am
Happy Halloween.
Name him Balthasar – meaning Ball/god save his life he seems to be a very good bodyguard kind of guy.
Love the Comic already waiting again for more.
October 31st, 2007 at 6:08 am
Henry or JH for John Henry (yes, this is based fully on every single John Henry I was told as a child and the fact that he’s a little… darker than everyone else). All muscles and stuff.
October 31st, 2007 at 6:27 am
In elaboration of my previous comment, You need to have Addison Payne just stand up and scream:
THIS
IS
THE MIDDLE OF NOWHEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
October 31st, 2007 at 6:28 am
I dub the vampire “Dwayne”.
I dub the Fat One as “The Butcher” as per Diablo 1.
Glad to see Dwayne really respects Mac.
Awesome job as usual, Bobby and Owen! Two thumbs up!
October 31st, 2007 at 6:40 am
Cute! I love Mac, I was really hoping for more Mac action and I wasn’t disappointed. This page rocks, I think the black vampire should be named Alex. Looks like an Alex to me *shrugs*. Love this page!
October 31st, 2007 at 6:54 am
Today is Halloween and I dressed up as Math!!!
October 31st, 2007 at 6:57 am
I think you should name the big vampire Amobi or some other African sounding name like that.
October 31st, 2007 at 7:02 am
Suggestions for vampire name:
butch
malion
Luke
Sam
eddie/eddy
jack
October 31st, 2007 at 7:05 am
The black guy should be John Henry. As in “The John Henry.”
October 31st, 2007 at 7:11 am
For the large african fellow I’d say Mukhtar is an appropriate name.
Yes, that sounds about right..
It means ‘chosen’ if memory serves.
Great comic, looking forward to the film assuming everything works out.
Keep up the good work!
October 31st, 2007 at 7:17 am
The large african fellow seems an excellent choice for the name Mukhtar. If memory serves, it means chosen.
Great comic, enjoy the style used. Looking forward to the movie assuming every thing works out.
Assuming you find some pleasure from it, keep up the good work hm?
October 31st, 2007 at 7:27 am
Hey, yeah, he could be John Henry. Though you probably don’t have enough time/room to explain it, you could mention that in one version among many of the John Henry stories, he survives his battle with the steam hammer after laying the most track. Being a Vampire would certainly explain that.
October 31st, 2007 at 7:39 am
I love the John Henry idea! and the fat guy with the apron should be “Chef”
October 31st, 2007 at 7:40 am
Mac is made of god and win
October 31st, 2007 at 7:45 am
Great comic, I just discovered the site this week and read all the way up to today. I checked my local comic book store (Austin Books and Comics) and they are getting #3 in today!
As for the name, I think John Henry is too close to Steel’s name John Henry Irons. I liked the suggestion of Balthasar.
October 31st, 2007 at 7:46 am
My weapon chouce would be one katana and small sidearn, I’d keep extra ammo in the katana’s hilt.
I’d keep the sidearm in a hilster until need, and just RIP off zombie heads with my left hand as aI decaapitate others.
October 31st, 2007 at 7:55 am
The zombies motion in the last panel looks more like it ran into the axe.
Great comic.
October 31st, 2007 at 7:57 am
Curious weapon’s choice of Addison Payne. He has had two thousands years to perfect the art of the sword and only about two hundred years of reliable handguns to practice, but he still chooses two firearms.
He keeps with the times, must be tough when you are so old.
October 31st, 2007 at 7:58 am
I don’t normally post I just enjoy the comic quietly but i had to answer the question of weapon choice. If I was a vampire defending humans i’d preffer a pair of spiked gauntlets (small spikes for quick crushing effect).
My reasoning for this is simple:
1) Bullets run out
2) Bladed weapons get stuck
3) I’d preffer to move quickly and have my friend’s backs if anything bad was about to happen to them and light gloves = speedier.
Anyways thanks for always having an awesome comic.

October 31st, 2007 at 8:11 am
Mac is AWESOME!!!!!
October 31st, 2007 at 8:24 am
I keep hearing news of a Movie, is there something I missed about it, if so, where so I can go read up on it, or if not I want details!!! oh and mac is a bad ass! where did he learn to use an axe like that!?
October 31st, 2007 at 8:27 am
AFP is very codename 47 right now. How stylish.
October 31st, 2007 at 8:28 am
I just want to join in by saying that this is a great series Bobby and I look forward to the rest of the story.
Also I tried thinking of a name for him…and Nathaniel kept popping up. I tried to stay away from extreme names like “Artemis” and stuff like that. I wish you the best of luck with the rest of the series and the potential movie.
Sincerely,
Serbius
October 31st, 2007 at 8:36 am
Is Mac going to die?
October 31st, 2007 at 8:47 am
yeah mr.henry would be a good choice, if not i say axel
October 31st, 2007 at 8:59 am
for that vamp william would be a good name
October 31st, 2007 at 9:23 am
Yay.. fat vampire trashing time.. Yay … his name just screams bobba… or Jeffry
and he uses 2 axes.. weeee.
Mac seems pissed somehow.. atleast he’s got a good swing..
I wonder if “big black” and Mac starts counting kills..
October 31st, 2007 at 9:31 am
Oh.. and now that we are at the names.. and since its not the fat vamp who needs a name but the “big black” ( aint gonna let cleaver vamp die are you? (sad face))
name : Jax or Jayce
October 31st, 2007 at 9:35 am
Taddeus or Bob.
October 31st, 2007 at 9:38 am
first time commenting, love the comic. John Henry would be a good name if he was wielding a hammer instead of a sword, but i guess a sword is a more effective zombie dispatching weapon. also, if TFZ can find an RPG, why aren’t the vampires packing any explosives? I know bobby said no nukes, but what about a hand grenade here or there?
October 31st, 2007 at 9:39 am
Tyrell
October 31st, 2007 at 11:18 am
Hey man, great comic. I have commented once or twice, but i don’t think this has been asked yet.
Did you name Matheson after Richard Matheson? The guy who wrote I AM LEGEND… they say it redefined the vampire genre… I bought it to read before the movie came out and noticed the name similarity. Anyways, keep up the great work.
October 31st, 2007 at 11:20 am
I dont know the fat vamp reminds me of some of the more crazy sterotypical looking rednecks we have up here in Montana( yes they really do exist.) you know the type they were nothing except overalls and has a big ass confederate flag. Thats what he reminds me of maybe a bubba ray type name or somthing for him.
October 31st, 2007 at 11:24 am
Tr-tr-tr-tr-triple kill x2!! Hoorah for the Mac Attack!
Big Fat Vampire (or BFV, as I like to call him) is one crazy MoFo, running off into the apocalypse wearing nothing but an Apron. Must not want to get his good clothes covered in Zombie Bits. Makes sense… gotta have something to wear when the world is put back together.
As for the name of the “Giant” Vampire, I have a few ideas.
Old Shuck – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Shuck
I guess I kinda like the John Henry Idea… but, I think it’d be cooler if he were, like, a less referanced person…. Othello, maybe?
or Bob. I think Bob would be a great name for him.
October 31st, 2007 at 12:04 pm
I suggest: ‘Nathan’ or ‘Mitch’
October 31st, 2007 at 12:04 pm
“I dont know the fat vamp reminds me of some of the more crazy sterotypical looking rednecks we have up here in Montana( yes they really do exist.) you know the type they were nothing except overalls and has a big ass confederate flag.

Wait.. people live in montana?
The Sheer Amount Mac Pwns is that near the level of Chuck Norris.
October 31st, 2007 at 12:20 pm
Raphael….would be my suggestion.
I’ll have to ask the same question too, Bobby. You’re not going to kill Mac off, are you…???
BTW…anyone I tell about your comic gets addicted.
Great writing, graphics…and kudos to you and Owen!
October 31st, 2007 at 12:21 pm
Question: If a human gets bitten by a zombie, say Mac got bitten, could he be changed into a vampire to save his life or is it too late?
October 31st, 2007 at 12:24 pm
weapons hmm i would have to go with dual katanas. I have taken formal classes in them so, i would be able to use it fairly well.
October 31st, 2007 at 12:34 pm
Call the black zombie 50 cent.
October 31st, 2007 at 12:37 pm
“Hey, yeah, he could be John Henry. Though you probably don’t have enough time/room to explain it”
I don’t have enough time/room to even say his name in the comic. Asked for suggestions just for some pointless fun, like how I asked for name ideas for a pointless character in “Marry Me” recently just to see how seriously those fans would take it (they took it very seriously). Also, it is nice to know the character’s name — tired of referring to him as Big Black Vampire in the script/sketch, so I guess I will officially choose one. Won’t be John Henry, I can tell you that! Also, the star of the comic, Matheson, doesn’t even have both a first and last name (I think only Addison has that honor among the vampires), and neither does Murdo or Mac or Grady, so this guy certainly wouldn’t have two names.
“I checked my local comic book store (Austin Books and Comics) and they are getting #3 in today!”
Awesome — go buy it! And make sure they order #4!
“The zombies motion in the last panel looks more like it ran into the axe.”
Yes, that was the idea — see my sketch for more on that.
“He has had two thousands years to perfect the art of the sword and only about two hundred years of reliable handguns to practice, but he still chooses two firearms.”
No, he has a sword on his person, as I told Owen in the script last night. The ammo will run out very soon obviously, like within seconds, and then he’ll have to use a blade.
“I keep hearing news of a Movie, is there something I missed about it, if so, where so I can go read up on it, or if not I want details!!!”
Read all my previous comments (will take about an hour).
“Is Mac going to die?”
Not for another 40 years or so.
“also, if TFZ can find an RPG, why aren’t the vampires packing any explosives? I know bobby said no nukes, but what about a hand grenade here or there?”
Practically all of those exclusives would have blown up when the plane crashed, which is why they don’t have them.
“I have commented once or twice, but i don’t think this has been asked yet. Did you name Matheson after Richard Matheson?”
Google is your friend. It’s been asked many times.
“If a human gets bitten by a zombie, say Mac got bitten, could he be changed into a vampire to save his life or is it too late?”
Was recently asked this in an e-mail and here was the exchange –
BOBBY: Good question. Don’t think I had thought of that either. Answer’s probably no, or maybe they’d be turned into some other creature if that happened, mostly zombie, but retaining full brain power, but still being very dangerous in terms of their teeth, creating regular zombies through bites. Bad idea to have kinky sex with them.
READER: So basically like a schaemiac, just without the 65 years of blood deprivation? Freaky. Oh, but the whatever-you-want-to-call-it probably couldn’t smell blood etc?
BOBBY: Couldn’t smell blood and couldn’t control zombies they make with their mind, so not very much like a schaemiac.

Fat Vamp doesn’t seem so crazy to me. Being naked and covered in blood would make him slippery. If I understand the zombie’s strategy correctly, they’ll try to grapple the vampires and hold them down until they can be chained.
October 31st, 2007 at 1:22 pm
BTW the kid vamp in the first panel, holding two short sword, it’s pretty cool
October 31st, 2007 at 1:31 pm
“Being naked and covered in blood would make him slippery. If I understand the zombie’s strategy correctly, they’ll try to grapple the vampires and hold them down until they can be chained.”
Ha, that’s nice thinking actually (slippery, harder to hold him).
October 31st, 2007 at 1:49 pm
can vampires lose weight?
October 31st, 2007 at 2:06 pm
Awesome page – at first I thought the big vampire was maybe wearing a loin-cloth, a la sumo wrestler. But an apron – that’s even better!
@Bet45: Montana! I grew up there – great state, if you like Antelope and tumbleweeds (well, the eastern part, where I grew up – the West is pretty with the mountains and such).
Mac kicks butt, as usual. I love the charge of the Vampire Brigade there – very nice.
October 31st, 2007 at 2:07 pm
terrific page[again]
and I agree with Krasno: the vamp kid is very cool
October 31st, 2007 at 2:20 pm
ok,the fat vamps name sounds like a “bubba” or “joe bob”
and if i was a vamp and hap to choose weapons,id get a katana with a combat knife and a glock. maybe a grenade or two. or 5. or 10. i like to make things go boom
October 31st, 2007 at 2:22 pm
Christopher!
October 31st, 2007 at 2:22 pm
ps, i see the little kid vamp,2 daggers makes him look like a gnome lol
October 31st, 2007 at 2:26 pm
Just shows how awesome mac is…Please dont kill him! and kudos again.
October 31st, 2007 at 2:30 pm
He looks like a John Coffee type to me:)
October 31st, 2007 at 2:38 pm
*glares* you both have me drooling all over my keyboard again… If I have to go buy a new one, I’m blaming you!!
Other then that, again a wonderful comic! Really!
As for the black vamp…
Thor, Nadif, Azi, Raz…
A short strong name. But then, that’s me…
Happy Samhain, people! Greet your dead!

October 31st, 2007 at 2:49 pm
Hey Bobby, as always, awesome comic. Second post.
Was actually asked once before, by my first post
And you said they couldn’t be changed or saved, the zombie bite was like final. Heh, either way, I like it, though must say I like better the one where he’s a mix of both ^^ Maybe the speed at which he gets his blood could determine how well the vampire part takes over the zombie? Either way, love your other comics too, especially how the bus driver tricked the dad. Gotta love loyal employee 
Thanks for bringing to the scene some new ideas and let’s hope your movie can happen. (It’s funny, I got a school near where I live that I always wanted to make a zombie movie in/around. The door number is 666, the windows got metal grid fence, their’s an old exterior auditorium in the back always filled with broken glass and the like, rusted fences around it, a old train track nearby, well, you get the picture. Sadly, it’s in Canada, so dunno if you could come that far for a movie + it’s surrounded by houses.)
Good luck and cheers (triple time for Halloween!)
October 31st, 2007 at 2:51 pm
Terribly sorry, it seems the quote I put in the triangle quotation was taken away (probably thought it was an unknown html tag) I’ll requote, sorry.:
“If a human gets bitten by a zombie, say Mac got bitten, could he be changed into a vampire to save his life or is it too late?â€
Was recently asked this in an e-mail and here was the exchange –

October 31st, 2007 at 2:58 pm
Dorth, link me to the comment where you specifically asked about if a vampire tries to turn someone who is in the 24-hour zombie process. Trying to see how good my memory is. Obviously tons of people asked if a human (like Mustache Man) could be saved in any way from the zombie transformation after being bit, but I don’t recall anyone specifically asking about what would happen if a vampire tried to turn them to save them. Also, the zombie bite is still “final,” in terms of how they can’t go back to being humans. No change there.
“Sadly, it’s in Canada, so dunno if you could come that far for a movie”
My family owns a school building in South Dakota which is perfect for the film, which is why the idea for the story was thought of in the first place (said this many times).
October 31st, 2007 at 3:03 pm
finally, a role i was meant to play
FAT
NAKED
VAMPIRE

October 31st, 2007 at 3:33 pm
I’m going to go with either Caesar or Bruno, because they’re what popped into my head. Great comic. hope it finishes as tight as it is now =D.
October 31st, 2007 at 3:49 pm
I dunno how about Goldman?
Russel?
Marcus?
Demetrius?
David?
Steve?
October 31st, 2007 at 4:08 pm
For the giant vampire I suggest Mr. Gates.
Only A.F.P would ever refer to him as Mr. Gates, perhaps eluding to some history that could maybe be covered in a prequel, all the other vampires would just call him ‘Gates’ or ‘G-man’ maybe he was a CIA agent or something… lots of possible threads for that story.

October 31st, 2007 at 4:20 pm
Heh… Pure awesome. Personally, I can’t wait to see the look on the vamps’ faces when they recive reinforcements from Davis! (That is why he’s her, right?)
October 31st, 2007 at 4:31 pm
The big Vampire is a nubian, who grew up in egypt, his name should be Ramas, or Anrak. . . Yeaaah.
As for weapon of choice, a single bastard sword or katana would be the ideal weapon for zombie slaughter, you dont need superior skill when fighting zombies, just one clean stroke. Wielding two weapons is usually so you can parry and feint with the other, wielding a two-hander would be a waste of energy against the soft tissue of the zombies (Unless you’re a weak human like Mac). A shield would also be useless in a fight against zombies, shield bashing a waste of energy since it barely affects a zombie, and no need for blocking their slow attacks.
Thus, a sharp one-handed blade, preferably with a bit of reach just to be on the safe side. Since the vampires will need to fight quite a bit of zombies, you can always switch arm when your primary hand grows tired.
Ps. this was based on my own lrp experience, of a few old swordsmanship manuals from the 18′th and 19′th century and from what we know about the vampires and zombies of Last Blood.

October 31st, 2007 at 4:33 pm
its pretty obscured, but to me his tatoo looks kinda like a phoenix, maybe tht cud be his nickname, Phoenix, cuz he real name is kinda dorky…. like Erwin?
comic is awesome! love it so much!
October 31st, 2007 at 4:37 pm
Name him Gilgamesh, king of kings.
October 31st, 2007 at 5:44 pm
I would go with “Gordon James”… nickname: “Big Guy”.
can wield his katana (which he acquired after becoming a vampire, while in japan on “business”) with one hand, but uses two because he likes to see the limbs fly.
October 31st, 2007 at 5:48 pm
Oh, and he was turned by Devian

There. But no point to react like that, you might have said it a lot of time but I was not asking a question on it and I haven’t read all comments since day 1. (Nor would I expect anyone to.) Hope the movie will see the day and be as great as the comic (or better
)
October 31st, 2007 at 6:10 pm
“But no point to react like that”
To react like what? Don’t know what you’re talking about. Thanks for the link — my memory sucks, sadly.
October 31st, 2007 at 6:14 pm
Ah, nevermind that, and I might have misread your reply too
My memory sucks too so I don’t mind either. Your webcomic is still the most Halloweeny thing I saw today, sadly
October 31st, 2007 at 6:43 pm
name him Chuck Norris
total winnage
October 31st, 2007 at 7:01 pm
everyone vote for the comic,bout 50 more votes and it in the top 10
October 31st, 2007 at 7:04 pm
Best.
Comic.
Ever.
October 31st, 2007 at 7:05 pm
The list gets reset in a few hours for November, so it doesn’t matter — just vote tomorrow and then keep it in the top 10 all November long (shouldn’t be hard).
October 31st, 2007 at 7:24 pm
I love how the zombie in the last panel’s eye is just flying out of his skull.

October 31st, 2007 at 7:59 pm
Wow, I was looking at the sketch you sent Owen and I had no idea that was Val on the left side of the first panel. Hope she doesn’t bite it too soon. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s comic.
BTW, Happy Halloween! : )
October 31st, 2007 at 8:21 pm
mm’mm, love the action in this page.
As for a name…Tobias? Or Toby for the ladies
October 31st, 2007 at 8:30 pm
Love the detail on the zombie’s internal organs and the eyepopping.
October 31st, 2007 at 8:33 pm
I just spent the last hour reading all of the comics up to now, and must say its a bloody brilliant comic.
as for a name, I suggest:
Helmut
October 31st, 2007 at 9:10 pm
I totally wanted to go as Addison Payne but I didn’t want to spend the money >.

Oh right… that big dude? He looks like a Roq or Torq (spelling can be changed as you’d like)
They’d make good nicknames at least
let’s just call him “Biggins”

“Mac Attack”? You should be shot, but it’s too amusing. I forgive you.
October 31st, 2007 at 11:56 pm
Fat chef wearing only his apron comes running at you with a cleaver in each hand. If you’re not a zombie, you bolt the hell away.
Also I notice that the zombies are trying to gain the school more than fight the vampires and Mac. So they’re focused on wiping out any chance of repopulation?
Grunt rush !!! Zombies !!!
Ahh … nice
PS – I’ve always wondered. In zombie movies, what happened to all the tanks, APC’s and attack choppers? They’d maul you when you ran out’ve gas and got out but till then you’d run over main north road full of them.
Just sometimes have a hard time believeing that the whole world would be wiped out like that, tho we’d be left with all the army nuts after we got the zombie numbers depleted enough that we could farm crops and such
November 1st, 2007 at 12:04 am
Okay.. totaly googled this one but didnt find anything..
are humans the only things that can be turned into zombies/vampires?
I googled and all i got for animals was that animal blood was useless for vampires ~_~”
if this has been asked.. just say so and ill go digging.. again..
November 1st, 2007 at 12:33 am
I can’t remember if I ever mentioned it before in the comments, so I’ll say it (again?) anyway.
Just to demonstrate the awesomeness that is Mac… he decapitates three zombies in one swing, not with a sword, but an axe. Does anyone have any idea how difficult it would actually be to connect with three moving, variably distanced targets in a single swing with a long-handled sharp object that only has eight to twelve inches of sharp goodness? And even more, to make FULL contact on each one. No little scratches, no zombie necks slapping against the axe’s handle. With a sword, it’s easy. Every part of it beyond the end of your hands is lethal. As long as you have the weight in the blade or the strength in your arms, you can cut things wherever they meet the sword. With the axe, you have to line it up damn near perfectly. Wouldn’t want to misjudge the swing and just smack the zombie with a piece of wood, now would you? Then they’re between you and the sharp goodness of your axe…
I just felt like bringing that up (even if I maybe said it before). Mac is so awesome.
Oh, and I think a hammer would be a better weapon to use against zombies than a sword or an axe. Swords and axes (though especially swords) rely on having a sharp cutting edge. The more you use it, the sharper it isn’t. An axe isn’t as bad as a sword, because you still have the weight to power through a zombie’s skull even after it gets dull, but with both swords and axes you have the potential problem of your weapon binding and becoming trapped inside a zombie.
A hammer, on the other hand, simply crushes. Sure, you don’t get the nice visual of zombie heads cleanly cut in half, but you get some really interesting spray patterns. And of course, if your giant hammer gets stuck in a zombie, you have some ‘splainin to do.

Oh HEYLL YAH!
November 1st, 2007 at 1:52 am
Hoi!
The Big Black One is definetly “Jamal” to me.
And what kind of weapon to use against such a mass of zombies?
Im memoriam of “Predator 1″, I would begin with a Minigun. Run out of ammo, I would continue with either a chainsaw (just for fun) or something that fits a fast and strong vampire (somethin like a Ninjato or Katana).
November 1st, 2007 at 1:59 am
For the vamp who’s impressed with Mac…
I like Donovan. I don’t know why. I just do.
Other names would be… Cale, Fane, or uh… Hmm. Actually, I think that’s all I’ve got. Donovan’s definately my favourate though. ^_^
Oh, and we love Mac. Yes, yes we do.

“Also I notice that the zombies are trying to gain the school more than fight the vampires and Mac. So they’re focused on wiping out any chance of repopulation?”
They’re focused on wearing out the vampires for a long ass time as the vampires kill literally a million zombies, weakening them so it’s easier to trap them, lock them up. If their focus was on wiping out repopulation, TFZ could obviously easily fire another RPG or two at the school and kill all the humans instantly. But his goal is to torture as many vampires as he can for 65 years, so he wants to stop them from killing themselves. It also increases the odds of someone not killing themselves if they’ve just been fighting very hard for many hours for a cause — less likely to just waste that hard work. He’s trying to make it seem like they have a chance, giving them hope, then he’ll spring the chains on them when they’re at their weakest.
“Just sometimes have a hard time believeing that the whole world would be wiped out like that”
In this story only total morons could feel that way. TFZ is basically a god and can do whatever the fuck he wants. If you had his powers and his determination, you could kill the whole world too. Tanks? LOL, not gonna faze him.
“Okay.. totaly googled this one but didnt find anything.. are humans the only things that can be turned into zombies/vampires?”
You’re bad at Google. It’s been asked many times and the answer is yes, only humans.
November 1st, 2007 at 2:18 am
call the black dude Frank! And I agree with Nekokaburi on the hammer thing, although, I’d probably have a precision rifle for distance killing. Better to down as many as possible before they reach you, right? And in response to Chris Catastrophe, I’d try to make sure I was a vampire myself by then, so my arms wouldn’t likely get tired (just kinda imagine a vampire would suuddenly become acutely aware of the blood around them, rather than tired)
November 1st, 2007 at 3:12 am
There is this one shotgun the US military has. I forgot what it’s called, but the thing fires like a tommy gun, complete with barrel loded 100 round clips, and one hit from it is like a regular shotgun. I’d choose that one of those, along with a katana, and trench spikes when that breaks.

Yeah, TFZ causing this all and screwing the entire human race in a short time really isn’t too hard to believe. Getting a small handful of zombies onto each continent would be pretty easy (ease of transportation, as Math said,) and even if a big, industrialized nation can manage to stave off certain rotting doom for a while, you have to consider one important fact: people get hungry, tired, demoralized and all. Zombies go “Hhhhhhhh…” and keep on shambling toward whatever they think needs bitin’. Hell, even if the good ol’ USA throws its entire economy into Zombie Deterrents, they’ve got the downside of the inevitable Zombie Rights groups, the Zombie Day parade in New York being a big problem, and with the new quota system in schools there’ll be at least 3 zombies to a classroom in a matter of days. So Bobby done right here. The only real way to stop a zombie outbreak is to deal with it when there’s only a handful, maybe 40 tops, AND to have a Vampire on hand to realize that he can’t smell one of them and therefore stake that one so he doesn’t just get up and start the mess all over again after being shot, decapitated, what have you.
Just one thing: wouldn’t it have been funny if TFZ had gone the wrong way after waking up? Like, he’s walking, walking, there’s fish and darkness, and then he walks up onto what he thinks is land and realizes he’s on a frigging Antarctic glacier. Just think that would have made a fun april fools comic or something.

See now that’s not very polite.
And yes, TFZ walking the wrong way would’ve been hilarious. Walking the ocean floor for a thousand some miles, getting stuck in a giant clam and scaring the krill. Of course, he has deus ex machina powers that let him know where my dick is at all times and thus walk the right way, but it would have been funny.

Hiya Bobby. Long time reader, first time commenter, here. (Well, maybe not such a long time reader….)
I just wanted to say that the story is obviously brilliant, and I absolutely adore your dedication to the plot. There are no valid plot holes what-so-ever! Well, none that I have spotted… And Owen’s artwork is fantastic! It seems to have improved since the beggining of this comic, and it was great even at the start.
One thing, though. I’ve seen you tell a few people to go read through your previous comments to find an answer for their question. But sometimes, it may take them quite a while to find it. I understand that it may be frustrating to re-answer questions, but would’nt it be much quicker and easier for you to answer them, than for them to search for it? Not to be rude.
Thanks for taking the time to read my comment!
November 1st, 2007 at 8:59 am
for the bif vampire I have two african names:
1-Gazini: It means blood
2-Meshindi: It means winner, conqueror.
THIS comic RULZ
November 1st, 2007 at 9:11 am
I’ve been following this online for quite a while, and I must say, it is one of the most kick arse-comics out there. Mac remains my favourite character of the entire series, simply because he’s a normal guy who’s got some serious guts and mad skills with that axe.
If they make a movie out of this, they had BETTER follow the comic storyline to the “t”. There is absolutely no reason to adjust the script of this, because it reads like a DAMN good movie. Of course, finding a good director to not fsck it up could be tough, so I wish you luck, Bobby.
And finally, as a contribution in reference to your request on this page, my suggestion for the big dark vampire’s name would have to be Byron. All the Byron’s I know are awesome guys.
This is Claen’tor, signing off.

November 1st, 2007 at 9:16 am
OK, this isn’t “Last Blood” related, but it is vampire related, so hopefully Bobby won’t mind … Yesterday I was telling my hubby I wanted to see “30 days of Nights” and he asked me what it was about so I was telling him and he said “yeah, but it’s COLD in Alaska during the long nights” (he should know, he’s from Russia, approx. same latitude) and I said that it wouldn’t bother the vampires from that particular mythos, as they weren’t affected by heat or cold, to which he responded “wouldn’t the blood turn to slush?” and I said “No, actually, I would think since the vampires would be the temperature of where ever they were at the time, they would actually steam as hot blood filled them.” So, I got this picture of vampires outside in like -40 weather biting humans and drinking hot blood and then steam coming off of them, which is a pretty ludicrous picture to get into one’s head. But what do y’all think about this notion? I’ll let you all ruminate and cogitate and whatever-itate upon it and I’m'a go back to bed.

I believe you told us Bobby that TFZ did not know if he would live or die when he got shot by Murdo. So if he can get killed by a firearm I can see him easily getting blow the fuck up by a tank.
In reality zombies would never, ever take over the world, because the military would shoot the shit out of them.

Damn it all, it’ *HIS* freaking story, and however Bobby writes it is how the f*** it is.
I wish people would get their heads out of their *sses sometimes and just suspend their disbelief….like when you go to a movie like SAW or 30 Nights… I’d personally beat someone to death with a twizzler if they sat throughout the movie going, “Well, this is why that can’t happen”, and “That’s wrong because of this and that.” shut the *uck up already!
On the other hand…it can be amusing to read the comments. Laughing at stupidity never runs out of style.

Search through my previous comments to find the answers to your questions. And LOL at “it may take them quite a while to find it.” If they care enough to want all these spoilers, they can take 45 minutes to read through all my comments. Also, most of their questions can be answered through Google if they have any clue how to use a search engine.
“I believe you told us Bobby that TFZ did not know if he would live or die when he got shot by Murdo. So if he can get killed by a firearm I can see him easily getting blow the fuck up by a tank.”
Oh my god, the stupidity level among readers of this comic is so insanely high. “If he can get killed by a firearm”??? Did you somehow fail to notice that the firearm DIDN’T KILL HIM? WOW. So far in the story we’ve been given no reason to believe that anything can kill him. But it doesn’t even matter what he does. As long as does his extremely easy job in the first couple hours of getting a lot of people on many different international flights, even if he died right after that, the world will still be almost entirely destroyed probably — only difference would be that several thousand humans would live, maybe even 100,000. But since TFZ did not die (very easy to accomplish), he took out all those remaining people by finding them with his vampire sense of smell and blowing the shit out of them.
“I can see him easily getting blow the fuck up by a tank.”
How the fuck would a tank get near him when he’s flying above the tank and dropping bombs on the tank? And when he’s not flying, he has an army of billions surrounding him whenever he wants. If a nuclear bomb landed on TFZ’s head, he would easily survive, as I’ve explained before — same goes for any vampire as well. His pieces would come right back to him, like the T-1000 in “Terminator 2.”
“In reality zombies would never, ever take over the world, because the military would shoot the shit out of them.”
LOL. You’re one of those crazies who just has no reasoning skills whatsoever. If 19 human idiots can hijack planes and kill thousands of people, what do you think an unkillable god who controls millions/billions of zombies could do?
“I wish people would get their heads out of their *sses sometimes and just suspend their disbelief”
I recently watched the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy again and there’s somewhere around 3,000 times more things in that story than in “Last Blood” that you have to suspend your disbelief for in order to enjoy the story. (And I love LOTR.) Same goes for “Lost” (best show in the history of television) and tons of other things obviously. It’s (LB) a sci-fi fantasy, come on.
November 1st, 2007 at 1:25 pm
“How the fuck would a tank get near him when he’s flying above the tank and dropping bombs on the tank?”
LOL because you can totally learn how to fly a modern military fighter/bomber in a few days with INSTRUCTIONAL DVDs.
November 1st, 2007 at 1:37 pm
manwhat was already banned earlier, but I’m going to answer this question.
“LOL because you can totally learn how to fly a modern military fighter/bomber in a few days with INSTRUCTIONAL DVDs.”
#1, it doesn’t have to be a modern military fighter/bomber obviously, as I’ve said before many times. It can be any old plane that he finds at his disposal in the entire world, and there are many ways to drop bombs (and to find various bombs) and he has the entire world as his army to go find such things for him.
#2, here’s one good way for him to learn how to fly a modern military fighter/bomber if he chooses to: Take 2 million zombies or so on maybe Day 4 to a military base and kill everyone there except for a few of the pilots and say that you’ll kill them too or their families or whatever the fuck you want if they don’t teach you how to fly whatever plane you want. He could do anything he wants in a trillion different ways. None of these things are anywhere near impossible, and this is a story featuring both zombies AND vampires, so people who whine about certain things being “impossible” are just retarded.
#3, OR a much simpler way is to kill EVERYONE there (zombify) and then find a zombie pilot and have him teach him, since the zombies can do anything they could do in real life when under the direct control from TFZ. He can say “Get in this plane and fly it” and if they previously knew how to do that, they can do it again as a zombie, as I’ve said many times. He wouldn’t need anyone to teach him how — he could have his own personal pilot (s).
Keep in mind that those are THREE DIFFERENT OPTIONS, so don’t be a retarded idiot and of course say that #2 would not work for various reasons from your imagination, because #1 obviously could work and #3 obviously could work even better. #3 is what happened, as you’ll see in the comic shortly.
#4, the “instructional DVD” thing was an obvious JOKE, moron, but even that is certainly possible. The point of the “instructional DVD” line was just to say that he has a trillion different extremely easy ways to figure out how to fire an RPG, like how about by just PRACTICING WITH THEM for five minutes, or READING THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE PRINTED ON THE WEAPON ITSELF. He could also do the same thing he did with the pilots and simply kill someone who he saw firing an RPG at himself or his troops and order him to show him how to use it if he SOMEHOW couldn’t figure it out after reading the instructions printed on the weapon and having already seen it fired multiple times against his troops.
November 1st, 2007 at 2:01 pm
Bobby says: “Oh my god, the stupidity level among readers of this comic is so insanely high.”
Don’t feel bad, Bobby – I work at an in-bound call center, and I happen to know it isn’t just people on-line – it is people everywhere. It seems to be a nation-wide epidemic of idiocy. My personal theory is that modern medicine has made it too easy for stupid people to stay alive and breed, whereas in years past they would have killed themselves in Darwinian ways, thereby purging the gene pool of their “dumb” genes. Using this pet theory of mine, having a major world upheaval (although maybe not quite as drastic as the one posited here) could actually be a good thing, as the more clever people would find a way to survive and thrive. Eh, maybe not. I’m very sickly, myself, so I had myself sterilized several years back. No children for me; don’t want to pass this stuff on. Unfortunately, that means we’re also losing a chance to pass on my superior intelligence . . .

Another great strip, just started reading all your series yesterday. Really, great job on all of them and really, I cant see how people can critique your work when it has such an original story, and you subtly fill in the blanks, great job. And the vampire name, Im thinking Lorn, Ferrus or Gregor.
November 1st, 2007 at 2:51 pm
“I happen to know it isn’t just people on-line – it is people everywhere.”
Oh, I agree completely, but people who read lots of comics are much stupider on average than other people, that’s a fact, and that includes people who make comics. Some comics are great, sure (I personally hate at least half of “Last Blood” — my favorite comic of all time is “Bone”), but there’s usually something seriously wrong with the brain of someone who reads like more than 30 comics on a regular basis, since the vast majority of comics are just insanely bad and totally pointless to waste time on, making or reading. The vast majority of movies also suck, but movies in general are a trillion times better than comics, since, you know, the pictures actually move, and there’s sound, and much much better writing in general.
“If they make a movie out of this, they had BETTER follow the comic storyline to the ‘t’. There is absolutely no reason to adjust the script of this, because it reads like a DAMN good movie.”
I’ll be writing the script no matter what and there will be tons of changes. The writing has sucked overall. Don’t worry — you’ll like the changes.
“Of course, finding a good director to not fsck it up could be tough, so I wish you luck, Bobby.”
The only way I’m not directing it is if I’m paid an insane amount of money (certainly possible, though).
November 1st, 2007 at 2:53 pm
Did Mac make that ax himself the way you drew it made it look like its a homade version of a battle ax. Looks good either way.
November 1st, 2007 at 3:16 pm
HI! I love your comic. I read it religiously. Seriously, I stopped going to church and everything.
I’m sure you’ve already named him, but I think apron-man should be called Barry (Haha?)… or Arnold. Arnold sounds like a guy that would keep a meat shop. Arnold, but he doesn’t use his last name because he did something, something he doesn’t want anyone to know.
He’d be my friend, I think. I’m excited. I hope we get to meet him soon… However, now I’m babbling. Later!
November 1st, 2007 at 3:18 pm
“it doesn’t have to be a modern military fighter/bomber obviously, as I’ve said before many times. It can be any old plane that he finds at his disposal in the entire world, and there are many ways to drop bombs (and to find various bombs) and he has the entire world as his army to go find such things for him.”
An M1 Abrams’ Chobham armor would laugh off anything a WW2 plane could chuck at it. Meanwhile, someone else in an anti-air platform or even a frigging [i]attack helicopter[/i] would make mincemeat of him.
“, here’s one good way for him to learn how to fly a modern military fighter/bomber if he chooses to: Take 2 million zombies or so on maybe Day 4 to a military base and kill everyone there except for a few of the pilots and say that you’ll kill them too or their families or whatever the fuck you want if they don’t teach you how to fly whatever plane you want.”
Yes, he could do that. But learning how to fly and operate modern combat aircraft takes longer than a few days. When WW2 ended, jet engines and turboprops were just coming into being; save for some test pilots there was nobody with experience in them. So before you even step into an F15 or even a C-130 you need to be trained up on how to fly a jet instead of a piston-driven propeller plane. And that’s under circumstances when the instructor does NOT have an incentive to make sure you are vaporized.
“3, OR a much simpler way is to kill EVERYONE there (zombify) and then find a zombie pilot and have him teach him, since the zombies can do anything they could do in real life when under the direct control from TFZ. He can say “Get in this plane and fly it†and if they previously knew how to do that, they can do it again as a zombie, as I’ve said many times. He wouldn’t need anyone to teach him how — he could have his own personal pilot (s).”
Why bother at that point? Everyone’s already a zombie.
“the “instructional DVD†thing was an obvious JOKE”
And yet you insisted it was plausible.
“easy ways to figure out how to fire an RPG, like how about by just PRACTICING WITH THEM for five minutes, or READING THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE PRINTED ON THE WEAPON ITSELF.”
How many RPGs have you fired, Bobby?
“could also do the same thing he did with the pilots and simply kill someone who he saw firing an RPG at himself ”
Really at this point you might as well just say “He just can, so there.” You won’t look like an idiot who’s determined to justify himself to people who know more about the weapons and systems you’re talking about by insisting that they’re just too stupid to read your mind and figure out how things work in Bobbyland.
November 1st, 2007 at 3:31 pm
“An M1 Abrams’ Chobham armor would laugh off anything a WW2 plane could chuck at it.”
#1 — What’s your point??? You act as if TFZ for some reason would have to blow up a tank in order for everyone to die. Those guys can live in the tank forever?
#2 — They can laugh off a nuclear bomb?
“Meanwhile, someone else in an anti-air platform or even a frigging [i]attack helicopter[/i] would make mincemeat of him.”
You’re forgetting that he can’t die and that by this point there’s practically no one to control the anti-air platforms or fly helicopters against him? He would be EXPECTED to be shot down many times, though, early on, and then he’d simply start all over again — it wouldn’t take long — he has armies everywhere at his disposal to get him anything he wants.
“Why bother at that point? Everyone’s already a zombie.”
Huh? The plane is to fly around getting the last several thousand people (maybe 100,000) who somehow survived the first week or two, since he has to kill EVERYONE in order to ensure the vampires’ torture. Read the comic maybe before saying retarded things like that. He flies around with his personal pilot (s) and instructs with his mind the billions of zombies on the ground to go after the groups that he smells out, possibly dropping zombies from the plane into the ocean when need be to go after certain people on islands and in submarines and so on, and he also has bombs and he could obviously easily get some nuclear bombs for the hard to reach places, and he can send literally millions of zombies with any tools they’d possibly need to get people in the deep bunkers. And so on and so forth.
“And yet you insisted it was plausible.”
I’m sure it is plausible, but my point is that that would be a last resort that obviously wouldn’t be necessary, as many other people in this thread have pointed out to you already.
“How many RPGs have you fired, Bobby?”
Yet another person who is insanely bad at Google. Maybe do a little research like I did and find out for yourself that the weapons were designed to be insanely easy to use? But once again, even if they were insanely tough to use, he could very very easily figure out how to use them, since he could just go to the home of the damn person who INVENTED the things and zombify him and get him to do whatever the fuck he wants. (KEEP IN MIND THAT THAT IS YET ANOTHER UNNECESARY LAST RESORT, SO DO NOT STUPIDLY REPLY AND SAY “BUT HOW WOULD HE FIND HIS ADDRESS AND THAT PERSON IS LONG DEAD ALREADY, YOU HORRIBLE WRITER!!!”)Â He can do ANYTHING.
“Really at this point you might as well just say ‘He just can, so there.’ ”
What can’t someone do who has his powers?
“people who know more about the weapons and systems you’re talking about”
LOL! This is coming from a moron who thinks that RPGs are way too tough for anyone to figure out how to fire!
Already banned you before, no more time being wasted on you. All future comments will be deleted.

Great, now I seem like a loon. I don’t read more than thirty… Maybe five. Personally, I think some inspire for fiction writers especially (which I hope to become (and if you know an agent… *nudge* (Just kidding))). The more distractions I have from schoolwork, the more marbles I keep in my head!
If nothing else, making a webcomic or writing a movie script nurtures creativity and entertains. … I think I’ll keep at reading them as long as I have extraneous time.
November 1st, 2007 at 3:41 pm
I have two questions.
1) Did MM confiscate any lighters from the student body? ‘Cause if he did, all they would need would be a glass bottle and they could have rage throw a molotov cocktail to the middle of the zombies, immolating the TFZ’s reinforcements. Then you get to see vamps bashing an approaching zombie with a fire extinguisher after putting it out with it’s cool spray.
2) Do any of the vampires carry trench spikes? These close combat WWI weapons are a combination of a 6 inch steel spike and a set of brass knuckles. Designed by british and american forces for close combat against german soldiers, it’s original purpose was to penetrate steel helmets to be withdrawn cleanly and giving the next guy a brass knuckle samwich. Perfect for close quarter zombie killing and the occasional argument. I’d imagine some of the remaining vamps were in the first World War, and thus could see how ideal this weapon would be against several zombies, as it is quick, easy to aim, and, since they can’t be infected, has no chance of getting you killed.
Now I will rant about this argument on how TFZ learned to fly a plane. Despite having no prior experience, I flew a plane when I was 8. Planes have quite simple controls. As Indiana Jones once said “Fly, Yes. Land? No.” The trick with flying a plane is not the flying itself, it is the landing part. And since TFZ is for all purposes immortal, the only way he be in any danger flying a plane would be if he crashed into a forest and tree shrapnel hit him in the sweet spot, very unlikely. As such, that argument is futile, and thus finished.
November 1st, 2007 at 3:53 pm
“Do any of the vampires carry trench spikes?”
Probably.
“Now I will rant about this argument on how TFZ learned to fly a plane.”
He learned how to fly a plane in the United States Army Air Corps. He flew a P-38 Lightning.

Some people have misunderstood what I’ve said about how TFZ “can’t die.” I’ve already said in the comments before that he WILL DIE in this story. My point is that the only way to kill him is with a wooden stake through the heart, and a tank or an attack helicopter or anything like that is not going to accomplish that. If his plane gets shot down, he is not going to die. He will APPEAR to be an “unkillable god” to the military of the world, and it’s not like TFZ would possibly let anyone get close enough to him to shove a stake through his heart (meaning before the battle was won for all intents of purposes), even if they somehow knew to try that. He can have a million zombies between him and anyone else whenever he wants. I could go on and on and on, but it’s pointless — some people either refuse to understand the obvious or they’re just lying because they have nothing better to do than falsely criticise other people’s work, for whatever reason.
I’ll quote this again –
“Really at this point you might as well just say ‘He just can, so there.’ â€
What’s your problem with that? That’s essentially what it is — he’s a nearly all powerful god, which is the only way the story works. Either accept that or stop reading it, but for some reason you keep reading it and keep reading all of my comments as well, because you’re obsessed with “Last Blood” and/or me for some reason.
November 1st, 2007 at 4:29 pm
i just can’t see the argument that this isn’t plausible. starting with him slowly infecting people at an airport he suddenly has agents on every continent within 24 hours. and how hard is it to grab some soldier leaving a bar drunk one night, bite him, choke him to death, and watch him become a zombie with all the right credentials and knowledge to get him back onto base in the middle of the night when it’d be hard to see his face or any signs of zombification. within 2 or 3 days he’d suddenly have god only knows how many military bases under his control. and how easy would it be to spread from there? it’d take that much time for the vamps to start smelling zombie blood, and by then tfz has military instillations, with god only knows how many nukes, tanks, planes, and personnel under his control. i’m with AFP, it was over before they had a chance. zombies win by surprise and nobody seeing them coming. at least that’s how i’d go about it. bobby probably has this much more thought out than i do, but as he’s said before, this is just one in a trillion ways it could work. and it’s going to be explained pretty soon in the comic anyway, so why argue on stuff in the comments when it’s coming up soon?
November 1st, 2007 at 4:39 pm
“within 2 or 3 days he’d suddenly have god only knows how many military bases under his control. and how easy would it be to spread from there? it’d take that much time for the vamps to start smelling zombie blood”
Most vampires would actually find out about all this on the news along with the rest of the world, which would happen on the first day (or early on the second). But it would already be too late by then as well. It was too late a few hours after TFZ came out of the ocean when he got tons of infected people on tons of international flights. A little scrape from teeth is all you need — “accidental” bumping in airport bathrooms and so on from TFZ’s first group of zombies wearing hoodies and sunglasses and such, and not even looking very bad yet, just very pale, killed in seclusion minutes before in a clean, quick way. He wouldn’t even need to get a single zombie on a plane — just needs Mustache Man type people — 24 hour process, more than enough time for the flights to land to everywhere in the world.
And just to make sure it works, he’d go down to the other international airports in California and do the same thing all over again with the same group of zombies who “bit” (barely) the people at LAX.
November 1st, 2007 at 4:41 pm
haha, just got an image of a vamp watching tv, drinking a gatorade bottle of blood, and just spitting it at the screen when he sees ZOMBIES on the news
November 1st, 2007 at 5:28 pm
I have a suggestion for who should act as the black vampire (Just in case you don’t have an idea for it already) You should totally make him the guy who played barbossa’s first mate (I think) in the first pirates of the Carribean movie. The black dude who was always topless and (pimp)smacked elizabeth when she first stepped aboard the black pearl.
November 1st, 2007 at 6:05 pm
I’m amused at the implication that manwhat has a great deal of RPG experience…
Seriously, once we’ve allowed for vampires and zombies and a first zombie, is it so very difficult to see how TFZ changes whatever preconceptions we may have had about zombies (as in the slow, dumb, shambling Romero types) taking over the world? The only suspension of disbelief that’s required here is to believe that there could be such creatures. Beyond that, Bobby hasn’t done anything that “just wouldn’t work.” And if you’re reading a zombie comic, you clearly are willing to allow him the illogic that is the existence of zombies.
Unless you’re manwhat, in which case you have a great deal of undead experience, and know that it’s way harder to zombify someone than just biting them.
Douche.
November 1st, 2007 at 6:14 pm
First time I’ve commented; I think this is by far the most innovative zombie story I’ve seen in years.
Also
MY BRIEFCASE OF WEAPONS
1 – M32 with 1 Clip of M-576 40mm Grenades (Standard grenade + 00 Buck)

All used in that order.

“Good luck sticking a nuke on a P-38.”
He flew a P-38 in World War II — nowadays he flies whatever the fuck he wants to fly.
And yes, for a second time I’ve lied about deleting all your future comments. This one was just too short and easy to respond to, decided to leave it up.
November 1st, 2007 at 6:21 pm
Woops. Also need to add to manwhat ‘Duct tape’
November 1st, 2007 at 6:29 pm
Lol, people are still harping on TFZ with an RPG. Guys, those things are probably the easiest weapons to use that we have today. The term “Simple point and click interface” describes them to a T. In fact, some RPG launchers that we have today use a two stage ignition system, so the recoil of the initial firing is almost nonexistant, then the rocket ignites the second stage propellant sending it to its target, which it has locked onto from a heat signature. And a hot engine in a cold wasteland made of nothing but zombies (who are either cold or are totally obvious to their MASTER) is mad easy to pick out and shoot at night.
And even if it was an ol’ fashioned RPG (Looked like a Panserschreck to me,) the guys were driving a truck at a constant speed in a straight line. MAD easy shot.

This comic totally rocks my sox! I’m from New Zealand, and I would deffinitely be one of the first to buy a movie ticket when it comes out!!!!
Bubble out!

Am I the only one that sees Peter Woodward whenever Addison Payne does anything?
November 1st, 2007 at 7:26 pm
The people of the world (along with the commentators of this page) just can not believe that TFZ can do what he did. TFZ had his work cut out for him with the governments denying his existence and the people believing that the modern weapons can solve their problems.
besides, most weapons work by inciting the fear of death or injury and the zombies could care less about that! Zombies also don’t need to eat, sleep, duck for cover, love, or get all bitchy about low pay so no military doctrine would work on them
November 1st, 2007 at 7:41 pm
by the way, do vampires need haircuts? its just that on page 87, Addison Payne sitting in a cell after 65 years with a hairless head and face.
i would expect him to look like a lumberjack after 65 years of unimaginable torture and no shaving.
November 1st, 2007 at 7:45 pm
“by the way, do vampires need haircuts? its just that on page 87, Addison Payne sitting in a cell after 65 years with a hairless head and face.”
No reason to assume that was after 65 years. For one, it was just an imaginary shot of what he was describing, and for two, that could have been on the first day of the 65 years. I do not know if vampires need haircuts — have never thought about it and never really plan to.
November 1st, 2007 at 8:00 pm
I’m thinking that a simple FAQ would probably have stopped 90% of those “google it” comments.
But anyway, awesome comic. Don’t fuck up the movie. I’d totally love to see a new zombie/vampire series that doesn’t blow.
November 1st, 2007 at 8:33 pm
“I’m thinking that a simple FAQ would probably have stopped 90% of those ‘google it’ comments.”
LOL. Feel free to Google the reason for why there’s not an FAQ.
November 1st, 2007 at 8:33 pm
I like “chuckles” for the fat, naked butcher vampire.
As for weapon of choice, why not the “big convertible with the massive whirling blade on the front grill” from Army of Darkness?
November 1st, 2007 at 8:43 pm
Man, the fat vampire HAS to be called Porker. The bloody apron, the meat cleavers, the sheer obesity, it works on so many levels.
November 1st, 2007 at 8:59 pm
Bobby,
You have created quite a wonderful universe here. First off, I would like to disclaim that I (for one) believe that it would be totally possible for a shemaic (sp?) to take over the world within a short time given the powers that you have provided and the burning determination that TFZ obviously has.
I think that a lot of people are overlooking the fact that TFZ committed himself to this plan of action 65 YEARS AGO. When he first sealed himself in that casket he had no idea that modern weaponry or air travel would have advanced to the point where it is today. For all he knew, he would have to infect zombies and spread them through the earth by boat. It must have been a pretty pleasant surprise for him to crawl onto that beach, take a bite out of that hot girl’s neck, and then find that the ever-increasing commuter nature of our society made it that much easier for him to accomplish his ultimate goal.
November 1st, 2007 at 9:33 pm
Dude, I have more than thirty comics I read… most of ‘em are pretty good by my standards, dry humor, decent art.. eh.
Not talking back or anything.
Man, the way Mac is swinging that axe around makes me wonder if he’s related to Paul Bunyon.
November 1st, 2007 at 9:35 pm
“Dude, I have more than thirty comics I read…”
There’s probably something seriously wrong with your brain.
“most of ‘em are pretty good by my standards”
You have low standards.
“Man, the way Mac is swinging that axe around makes me wonder if he’s related to Paul Bunyon.”
The third head Mac chopped off in his first ever Mac Attack was Paul Bunyon’s.
November 1st, 2007 at 10:21 pm
Does everyone really find it that difficult to assume that the world would die to these type of zombies? Let’s use math! We start with The First Zombie. Let’s assume he bites two people and they turn. Those two people go and bite two more. Four infected and they each bite two more people. 16 infected, they each bite two more people resulting in 256 infected. Those 256 infected each bite two more people, we now have 65536 infected. This process continues resulting in the next set of infected to be 4,294,967,296 total. Assuming exponential growth it would not take long at all to overwhelm the Earth. Calculate in high concentrations of human population in locations like India and China and TFZ has all of the bodies he needs to accomplish his task.
I already know one of you will think yeah but the military would stop this quickly enough. Think about this for a minute. TFZ is shown coming out of the ocean near a large city. Let’s assume this city has at LEAST 100,000 citizens living there. A large sum of those citizens would be unprepaired for a mob of people attacking. Looking at the exponential growth from above we can see that TFZ could easily convert the city into his own army within the first day. Add in the ease of transportation that has been pointed out by Bobby and we can see scraped/infected slipping into other countries/states/cities.
Assume it’s day 2, every nation is panicking because it’s own citizens seem to be raiding and attacking everything in site. Don’t forget to take into account the “rumors” of the dead walking. The military would have it’s hands full with the first city to fall. There is roughly 100,000 zombies in one city that will be the center of everyone’s attention. This is a logistical nightmare for any military. Even if they went to an extreme and declared every being in the city a hostile then they would still be dealing with 100,000 bodies marching outward to the other cities.
Just try to picture 100 people bunched together. Double that picture to 200. Double that picture to 400. Do you begin to see how large that number seems now? Now I want you to take into account how much ammunitions these soldiers are carrying. Say they send in 5,000 soldiers to be generous, it would take 20 shots from each soldier to the head to clear out the one city. Imagine TFZ controlling all 100,000 zombies and just overwhelming the soldiers. Say the military accomplishes its goal of erradicating the first city. It would be a heavy win for the military with hundreds if not thousands of soldiers dead. TFZ Wouldn’t be dead just moving along to the next city.
While the battle for the first city is going on, all of the other infected would be doing what TFZ did to TFC to the cities that they are in. Let’s assume a small number say 25 infected made it to various cities around the world during the first day of infection. Day two is here and they are doing the same thing that happened day two.
This means that come Day 3 TFC may have been taken care of but the world now has to deal with 25 more cities. Let’s give these the big cities again with about 100,000 citizens. Day 3 now has 2.5 million zombies on the planet.
2.5 MILLION Zombies.
Just try to picture that number in human bodies.
If 100,000 zombies were a logistical nightmare then 2.5 million has to be hell.
As you can see it only takes one zombie getting through to cause a chain reaction.
Day 4 would just plain old suck, this would be the point where at least a billion zombies were roaming for humans. AFP is right, the ease of transportation provides the perfect scenario for TFZ.
IT ONLY TAKES ONE!
Hoped you enjoyed my explanation that provides for my suspension of disbelief.
November 1st, 2007 at 11:41 pm
All i have to say about the RPG thing is that Bobby is right. I served in the Marine Corp and fought in Iraq. All you have to do for a RPG is stick in the rocket, lock it in, point at something and pull the trigger. Basically that simple.
Oh yea, I love Last Blood, it rules.
November 1st, 2007 at 11:46 pm
Thanks, Mike — appreciate your support.
November 2nd, 2007 at 12:05 am
Methinks the Vampire that must be named should be named Bruce, I dont beleive its been said yet, and it seems to fit in with the bubba bob, billy thing, except its more sophisticated, less hillbilly, and we must all remember bruce cambell vs the army of darkness….. Anywhos, great comic, it has vampires, And Zombies! in my opinion, all it needs is a dragon….
November 2nd, 2007 at 12:05 am
One thing that comes to mind when I see Murphy’s explanation is: what about vehicles? And since I don’t want to get into a discussion on that subject my mind decides to turn to how cool it would be to see a monster truck plowing through hoards of zombies.
November 2nd, 2007 at 1:08 am
hey bobby, why was there a nuclear war anyway? was it people freaking out about the zombies? or did it happen before that?
November 2nd, 2007 at 1:14 am
Nuclear war began as being against the zombies, but evolved to some countries just blowing the hell out of each other for fun once it became clear that everyone on Earth was probably going to die.
November 2nd, 2007 at 1:31 am
This comic is so awesomely bad-ass. Axe to the zombie for the win!
November 2nd, 2007 at 1:43 am
I dub thee Gabriel, or Gabe. Not sure why, but looking at the big black dude…it fits.
November 2nd, 2007 at 1:51 am
Murphy your math is all wrong if every person biten and turned bites only two other people the growth is not exponential. Because 4 times two is still eight. But considering that the other zombies will still join the biting action the growth is still huge, more than doubeling very five minutes or so depending on population.
Anyway I really like the theory about how the infection/zombies spread and how military will be outnumbered.
The Movie Resident Evil 2 gives a pretty good example when the police and swat teams are overpowered by simple numbers and those zombies did not even have the ability to charge running.
Well kill em all as long as you still can and in the LASTBLOOD world killing them all with guns and explosives is no longer possible. AHH we are all doomed
November 2nd, 2007 at 2:10 am
Dan: “In reality zombies would never, ever take over the world, because the military would shoot the shit out of them. ”
Read the Zombie Survival Guide or World War Z. It’s entirely possible with brainless zombies, now with an intelligent leader and mentally controlled zombies that can function as well as any human when focused on. Well, read any of the thousand other arguements in previous comments. It’s totally possible.
November 2nd, 2007 at 2:21 am
Sick comic, just started reading a little while ago and am now up to date. Love it.
November 2nd, 2007 at 3:20 am
The problem with military forces isunlike their ancient counterparts, they require reloading after x amount of shots. Plus, modern military has completely disused bayonets from a military arsenal, and only a few modern day assault rifles are able to even hold a bayonet, like the soviet Kolishnakov type 47 or ones of it’s varients. M-16, AR-5. and other nations weapons use plastic stocks, meaning even if you taped on a knife, the plastic stock would shatter immediately. To make things worse, assault rifles are begining to be more compact, making bayonets completely worthless. In a zombie invasion, give me an M1 Garand any day.
November 2nd, 2007 at 3:23 am
Has anyone else noticed that manwhat is a complete asshat? The only reason I’m posting again is to point that out. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a legitimate reason to use the term “asshat”.
November 2nd, 2007 at 3:29 am
Well how would the military shoot the crap out of them?
1. Most of your military is in Iraq right now, Iraq is safe.
2. The ones that aren’t are wondering around their gardens or drinking at the pub.
3. The ones that aren’t are on base would shoot the few zombies that wandered into that protected zone.
Not good odds for military assistance, so they couldn’t wipe out the zombies until they were actually rallied en masse, assuming they left their homes and famillies to do that and survived the trip.
Somebody commented that if a zombie bit 10 people per hour and each of those 10 did likewise it’d take only a few days to wipe us all out. But that takes no geography into account, ex; after you ‘turn’ south decota, how long do you and your new friends have to walk to find your next feed? I’d say more than an hour. Would you, a zombie, make the trip? And it doesn’t take into account the living scattering like really really fast. Who hangs around a beach when a rotting corpse pops out of the ocean and bites a bikini babe? How long does it take for the situation news to travel the beach? How many go to see the crazy person biting people? How many believe in zombies and run the fuck to their gun cabinate? I’d fight it. And make a quote from a zombie movie. Prolly Evil Dead 2. How many others here are technically, clinically insane?
Where can I find the Zombie Survival Guide? Or World War Z?
November 2nd, 2007 at 3:41 am
zombie takeover is pausible even without the whole super zombie that cant die. for one,we dont understand the disease,and mistake it for other diseaseas. and then you have the millions of poeple who think they can cure loved ones with anceint customs,and then there is t hewhole world war thing.
/rant off. i love this comic,and WILL see the movie if and when it comes out.
November 2nd, 2007 at 3:51 am
I believe Bobby’s view. Humanity wiped out.
Without TFZ tho we’d prolly end up with isolated communities of the living and dead cities and towns where the zombies stay, never really bothering to walk to the next town
November 2nd, 2007 at 3:55 am
Correct. TFZ is necessary for EVERYONE to die. Without TFZ there would be tens of thousands of survivors, possibly a million.
November 2nd, 2007 at 3:55 am
Don’t forget what Shawn Of The Dead taught us. Heh heh how they found that zombie girl in their back yard and thought she was drunk. Actually that’d be the zombie’s best weapon.
Man – Dude zombies don’t exist
Zombie *bites man*
Man – Ow!! Now I’m gonna beat the shit outta you, dude!
Zombie *grapple* *bite*
November 2nd, 2007 at 4:47 am
this is awsome, and in all honesty i will pay you guys to put a vampire version of Buckethead in the comic.
November 2nd, 2007 at 6:06 am
@Bobby: I actually read quite a number of on-line comics; I’d say maybe 4 or 5 are really awesome, several more are OK and most of the rest are just something to do every day. . . *shrug* I’m obsessive about these things. I also read whatever I can get my hands on, so I suppose that helps to reverse the “idiot-ification” effect.
It always amuses me when people get really het up about some minor detail in a FICTIONAL UNIVERSE and have to argue it to death. I’ve seen people doing this in book reviews for SCIENCE FICTION for crying out loud, arguing that such and such a thing isn’t possible. *rolling eyes* It’s SCIENCE FICTION, whose to say what is and isn’t possible, right? Makes me want to slap them into next week.
November 2nd, 2007 at 6:50 am
“Let’s use math!”
But…I thought Math killed zombies…
November 2nd, 2007 at 7:45 am
My weapons of choice would be a pair of calico m100′s several of there helical clips loaded with .22 lr(100 rounds per clip)
Pair of knuckle dusters, with a double razor sharp spikes.
Maybe the south African Mechem ntw-20. Using the anti-aircraft 20mm rounds. With a specially made, seven round extended clip. (used first)
And finally a good old American made MM-1 Grenade launcher firing 12 40x46mm grenades from a drum mag. (Personally I am a heavy weapons person.) (oh yes Good comic been stuck to it like well a hobo on a ham sandwich.)
November 2nd, 2007 at 8:11 am
Hmmmm….The weapon I would choose would be either my AK or my old miltary Turkish mauser. My Aks got the atvantages of being semi auto and high capcity clips problem it will run of ammo quickly cause ill be tempted to nail every one of the sobs. And it can accept a bayonet anymore because of it being converted to legal civi status.
Now my Turk Mauser was made in 1938 solid oak stock and machined steel. It backs more of a punch than my ak and it has a longer range about thousand to two thousand yards vs my aks range of about five hundered yards. Plus its still in its unalted military state still has the steel butt pad good for crushing skulls and it has a bayonet lug I also got a bayonet that is compatible. The main disadvantages are that its heavier than my ak it weighs about 20 pounds full loaded vs my aks wieght of 10 pounds full loaded.
November 2nd, 2007 at 11:29 am
Hey man.. never said there wasn’t anything wrong with my brain…
Yeesh, wish these people would stop ragging on you man, your comics are all pretty good, and if someone comes to a comic and wonders why it don’t make sense.. they got more problems than I do.
November 2nd, 2007 at 12:18 pm
The drama in the comments rivals that of a fictional zombie apocalypse.
Since it’s been established that the bugger will snuff it soonish, I don’t suppose we get to find out much about TFZ on a personal level. So I’ll ask you this: in the hypothetical situation that all the vampires decided to take their own unlives, would he be disappointed?
The thought popped into my head the other night and I haven’t been able to get it out since.
November 2nd, 2007 at 12:18 pm
And I’m actually pretty sure you haven’t answered that one yet.
November 2nd, 2007 at 12:25 pm
“I don’t suppose we get to find out much about TFZ on a personal level. So I’ll ask you this: in the hypothetical situation that all the vampires decided to take their own unlives, would he be disappointed? And I’m actually pretty sure you haven’t answered that one yet.”
Um, what? LOL. Not only have I answered that a trillion times, but the comic itself answers that. Addison Payne says that TFZ wants to ensure their torture by locking them up — he mentions that multiple times actually. So obviously he’d be extremely disappointed if they killed themselves, since his whole goal was to torture them. I’ve also said many many times that we will get to find out a lot about TFZ on a personal level and that he’d tell you himself.
November 2nd, 2007 at 1:16 pm
Mac is awsome and seems to have adapted well to being around vampires.
This is my first post and would like to mention that I think the comic is good.
This may have been posted but, anyone else notice that Anson looks lot like the guy from Hitman?
anywho… good name for the “Giant Vampire”
Goliath “a classic”
Mattock
Moris
Rampart
Den “for those fans of Heavy Metal”
Xavier “Just an awsome name, no intent to X-men”
Looking forward to the next issue.
November 2nd, 2007 at 3:10 pm
I just pictured him as a more of a “gosh darn I guess I’ll do something else” kind of fellow. You know, big man. Vampire. Zombie.
November 2nd, 2007 at 3:16 pm
Can’t imagine anything else he could do after losing the thing he just went through 65 years of torture and killed over 6 billion people for.

name the big muscle covered beast “Axel” and the chunky one “Rocko” (pronounced Rock-oh)
November 2nd, 2007 at 6:03 pm
if only the vamps had 50 cals. i know the ammo would be gone in seconds,but think of the deader zombies.

Bobby, Owen, love the comic, keep up the great work, and look forward to buying a ticket to watch it on the big screen.
Love Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z, you guys got to get a copy.
Today’s society wouldn’t be able to band together as a whole quick enough to stop even a ‘normal’ zombie outbreak. Most people would assume the government would take care of it (i.e. Military) But how well have they handled other isolated disasters? Total domination would be very fast, as Bobby pointed out. Especially with an intelligent power controlling the zombies.
My weapons of choice? Ditto on the steam powered convertible with the blades, kind of hard to do in a few hours though. But, being a rural town a harvesting combine would certainly do a lot of damage. I have a regular Army 6X6 truck, not hard to drive, hard to get stuck, that would do a good deal of damage too.
But, with that many zombies, they could just band together and tip it over, yes, even a tank if you got enough of them. Remember, zombies don’t care when their muscles ache, because they don’t. And for those of you that say a human can’t do such things, read all the instances where mothers of 145lbs picked up a 5,000# car to get it off their child. I’m not talking feet, but a few inches. If you had enough zombies, they could tip anything over, including an A1 Abrams tank (60+ tons) or even a locomotive (125tons).
I have an old Yugoslavian SKS with the bayonet already on it. Great gun, very accurate even with just the iron sights. For a handgun, my great- great grand-daddy’s colt 1911 .45 that was issued to him in WWI. But if I was a vampire, I would probably have had the time to learn some type of blade/spike weapon. I really like the trench spikes, perfect for this type of combat.
And you can fit a nuke on a P-38, you just need the warhead, not the whole missile. Wire it the right way so it detonates on impact or by remote. There were JEEPS in Germany during the cold war that could shoot a nuke into Russia. So if you can fit it on a jeep, and shoot it with a gun mounted on a jeep, you can fit a nuke on a cessna!

Oh, go here to see how a zombie outbreak could really happen scientifically.

Anyway, love it and will definitly be waiting to see the next installment.
November 2nd, 2007 at 6:56 pm
Hmm.
I was kind of hoping for some unique weapons seldom used in Zombie related things.
Maybe a Flamethrower or some Homemade Napalm.
Or just do it Classic style and whip out the vampire with Dual Chainsaws. Sure the fuel would be a pain but it would be awesome.
All Hail The King Baby.

Thanks for all that info, Engineer. Quality comment!
November 2nd, 2007 at 7:00 pm
Thanks! I try to appear as though I have a brain!
November 2nd, 2007 at 7:12 pm
I don’t know why, but the big vampire in the last 2 panels looks like a viktor to me
November 2nd, 2007 at 7:20 pm
I totally want Mac to be played by Bruce Willis.
It would be perfect.
November 2nd, 2007 at 7:32 pm
hey all! long time reader, first time poster (hahahah i’m so origional!) Anyway
I just had to say that this just keeps getting better and better. As a tribute, I went as TFZ for halloween……wish I had a picture.
November 2nd, 2007 at 7:56 pm
By the way why did you pick Bulgaria as the place where they contained the first case?
November 2nd, 2007 at 9:23 pm
No reason that I can recall. Possibly because Bulgaria is where tons of low budget movies are filmed, so that had me thinking about it.
November 2nd, 2007 at 9:53 pm
A decent name for him could be Cashmir or Leon Valcorne or Rex Selegund or Dev Gestle.
I am not to shabby at coming up with names. Need help? Drop me a mail.
November 2nd, 2007 at 11:33 pm
If you wanted to go cliche you could always name the fat vamp “Glutton” or some variations of such.
November 2nd, 2007 at 11:55 pm
for the black vampire i suggest Gabriel because it is an awesome name
for wepons i would have to go with a hand and a half swor with buckler

“if only the vamps had 50 cals. i know the ammo would be gone in seconds,but think of the deader zombies.”
I’m sure Bobby has addressed this, so forgive me if I’m wrong, but I thought the zombies required head shots to kill. IF that is correct then a 50 cal would be useless. You’ld get very few actual kills as you blow limbs off and fire huge rounds right threw the rotting flesh. then you’ld just have a bunch of crippled zombies crawling at you with almost the same numbers as before. a smaller calibur with well aimed head shots is the way to go.
November 3rd, 2007 at 5:01 am
Unless I’m wrong about the head-shot thing, in which case, my bad.
November 3rd, 2007 at 2:09 pm
Micah is correct. Need to remove the head or destroy the brain.
November 3rd, 2007 at 7:18 pm
Destroy the Brain, or severely damage it? Because if that’s all it takes, in the event of Zombie Apocalypse, i’m pretty sure we’d be pretty well defended by the hundred of Baseball, Hockey, and Cricket players all over the world. Hell, my Zombie Preperation Kit has a Face Mask, Gas Mask, full rubber suit and a baseball bat. If I just gotta bust the dome, that’s not too difficult.
November 3rd, 2007 at 8:35 pm
Weapons. If head removal is the key, a sword or some such bladed weapon. Man crushing claymore anyone?
If fire would be any good, a flamethrower. Just because fire is cool. However it isnt the head removal-est.

Ok the black vampire should be called Denver, but he says it “Denvah”. And Lex, the Zombie Survival Guide is awesome and you must have a copy immediately. http://www.randomhouse.com/crown/zombiesurvivalguide/

“Won’t be John Henry, I can tell you that!”
Now I’m just sad.
“Eldredd doesn’t sound cool call him Blacky Chan lol”
Despite the extreme coolness of that name, I now have to kill you for thinking of it first.
“His pieces would come right back to him, like the T-1000 in “Terminator 2.†”
OMG! TFZ is Robert Fucking Patrick!
“The third head Mac chopped off in his first ever Mac Attack was Paul Bunyon’s”
Wasn’t Paul Bunyon like 70 stories tall? Did Mac punch the other 2 zombies in to orbit to pull that off, or did he chop Paul down and yell timber first? =)
“Where can I find the Zombie Survival Guide? Or World War Z?”
A bookstore?
Best Weapon? Shaolin Spade. Absolutely brutal.
November 16th, 2007 at 11:14 am
Huh. I keep wondering what is up with Mac. I seem to recall that when he was running for his life through the city full of zombies earlier, the vamps that could smell both him and the zombies were…. Not concerned. That is, until they knew things were getting hot, then they did what they needed to do to get him back for the main event. He either has a reputation among even the vampire community that is incredibly bad ass, or they know something about him that even he doesn’t know.
Either way, Ol’ Mac is most assuredly my favorite character.
December 12th, 2007 at 9:00 am
THIS IS THE BEST PAGE SO FAR!
December 19th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
This fight would’ve been long over if someone just turned Mac into a Vampire…
April 19th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Mac is awesome…
May 23rd, 2008 at 7:31 am
Mac beats windows XD
July 14th, 2008 at 3:54 am
alight, couldnt help but notice the fat zombie in the last panel…. Is he only wearing an apron and weilding a butchers knife?
August 8th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Yea, he’s wearing ONLY an apron, and technically thats a meat cleaver I think…Did you HAVE to give us a rear view of him?!?!? *shudder*
Oh, and I probably missed the official change…but didn’t Mac there used to have a fire axe instead of a battle axe?
No wait, I know, he leveled up!!! Attack increased, Vitality increased, speed increased, size of cojones…already at maximum lvl
