Release #1 - The Walking Dead: Bloodlines Issue# 1

For fifteen-year-old Johnny, life was finally going right. After surviving years in a brutally abusive foster home, his raw talent as a country singer rocketed him to sudden, massive fame. But on August 25th, 2010, the music stopped. While standing on a red carpet in Los Angeles, the world collapses. Boarding a private flight meant for Washington, D.C., Johnny thinks he’s escaping the madness—until the pilot turns mid-flight, unleashing zombie horror at 30,000 feet. Surviving a traumatic plane crash in the ruins of the Midwest, Johnny is left with nothing but his acoustic guitar, the clothes on his back, and a single, crumpled piece of paper in his pocket: an unsigned adoption letter from Deputy Rick Grimes. Issue #1 follows Johnny's brutal, year-long solo trek across a dead America. Carrying the memory of the family he was supposed to have, he fights through starvation, elements, and terrifying, unexplained "whispering" walkers. Will he survive the grueling road to Georgia to finally get Rick's signature, or will the new world swallow him whole?
