Second Plants vs Zombies series announced by Dark Horse

The never-ending war between plants and zombies hits the time-stream in Plants vs Zombies: Timepocalypse.

Eisner winner Paul Tobin (Bandette) and Ron Chan (The Guild, Husbands) team up again with a bevy of battling plants to serve up another hilarious, all-ages, action-filled zombie romp through time!

Crazy Dave—the babbling-yet-brilliant inventor and top-notch neighborhood defender— is back to help his niece, Patrice, and young adventurer Nate Timely fend off Zomboss’s latest attack in Plants vs. Zombies: Timepocalypse! This new standalone tale will tickle your funny bones and thrill . . . your brains!

If you dug Dark Horse Comics’ previous PvZ series (and lets face it, if you like PvZ at all, then you probably did), here’s another chance to catch up on the insanity from the hit PopCap game series in comic book form. The opening issue of PvZ: Timepocalypse is actually available right now digitally and will follow the same sales scheme as the first series did.

So basically, you’ll be able to get the book through digital distribution now, and then in hardcover collected format early next year, on January 15th. Dark Horse has a standalone App just for Plants vs Zombies available as well, so you can keep the mayhem seperate from your usual DH purchases in their main iOS/Android storefront if you so desire. As a little incentive to download the free App, it even comes with a copy of the first issue of Plants vs Zombies: Lawnmaggeddon as a nifty bonus.
