ISSUES 1-3America’s early-’60s era of nuclear paranoia has always been an evocative setting for sci-fi horror, and this six-issue miniseries wants to tap straight into the mood of that time with a grainy, B-movie-esque nightmare.
The action begins in 1962, when a nuclear bomb test at a Nevada military base goes horribly wrong, and the fallout from the detonation starts transforming everyone it touches. Soon the only survivor is taking shelter at a local diner as monstrous adversaries close in. However, writer Chris Condon hasn’t brought a fresh enough approach to what’s largely playing as an ultra-traditional tale of desperate survival in a zombie apocalypse.
