DC Zombie Apocalypse

Zombie Apocalypse Storyline:

some bullshit orson wells terrence narating that mike thought of goes here.

Comic 1: whole panel just sea of zombies lumbering towards the screen.

Comic 2: At the office. Frame 1: Ivan: “I cannot believe NotSoSoft would send a zombie apocalypse after us! I thought they were our partners!” Terrance: “No, EveryThingSoft is our partners, NotSoSoft is our rival!”

Frame2: Terrence: “Well they still have no reason to be THIS mad, just because we’re doing a little better.” Ivan: “Actually… they kinda do…”

Frame3: Terrence: “…What did you do?” Ivan: “It was just good-natured company rivalry, honest!”

Frame4: Terrence: “What did you do?!” Ivan: “I sort of… accidentally on purpose spray-painted their booth at the last tradeshow.”

Frame5: Terrence: “Well that doesn’t sound so bad.” Ivan: “Yeah.”

Frame6: “Ivan: “Except when I said ‘booth’ I meant ‘corporate headquarters’, and by ‘spray paint’ what I actually meant was fire. Lots… and lots of fire…”

Comic3: Frame1: Terrence: “All right, what we need is to get a gun.” Ivan: “How about a really big gun?”

Frame2: Terrence: “Right, a really big gun that shoots lots of bullets.” Ivan: “You mean like something that’s fully automatic?”

Frame3: Terrence: “Yeah, a fully-automatic gun that shoots a ton of bullets.” Ivan: “How about a fully-automatic gun that shoots tons of smaller guns that are also fully automatic?”

Frame4: Terrence: “That’s even better.” Ivan: “And what if instead of bullets they’re shooting multi-warhead missiles?” Terrence: “Awesome!”

Frame5: Ivan: “And each missile has a magikarp strapped to it that knows Hyper Beam!”

Frame6: Terrence hangs head in abject shame.

Comic4: Frame1: Ivan: “It says here that using melee weapons would actually be a bad idea during the zombie invasion.” Terrance: “Is that so?”

Frame2: Ivan: “Yeah, assuming they’re the ‘infected’ type of zombie, that means if they splatter blood all over you and you have any kinda open cuts, you’ll get infected too.”

Frame3: Terrence: “So you’re saying if somebody cut themselves shaving and then went out to fight zombies with a baseball bat, that’d be a really bad idea?” Ivan: “Retardedly bad.”

Frame4: Ivan and Terrence exchange knowing glances with each other.

Frame5: Ivan and Terrence glance up at the ceiling.

Frame6: Ivan and Terrence standing outside of art lead’s office with a baseball bat. Ivan: “Hey, Jilian, we got a job only you can do!”

Comic5: Frame1: Sea of raging zombies.

Frame2: Sea of raging zombies framed by doorway, Ivan, Terrence, Jilain’s shadows seen from behind.

Frame3: Terrence: “All right man, so the zombies are coming, you gotta defend SomethingSoft!” Jilian, gripping baseball bat: “Right. I’m the best.” (Jillian has bits of toilet paper stuck to his face.)

Frame4: Ivan: “Yup, those zombies will never see it coming! Go get em’, tiger!” Jillian: “Wait, what are you guys gonna be doing?”

Frame5: Terrence: “We’re gonna go rally the testers, Fanboy’s got enough katanas to arm the whole building. We’ll be right behind you, just hold them off until we get back!” Jilian screams war-cry and runs through door.

Frame6: Ivan and Terrence leaving through back exit. Ivan: “Boss, we’re going to lunch!” Terrence: “We’re having a planning meeting with EveryThingSoft afterwards, so we’ll be gone the rest of the day!”

Comic6: Frame1: Ivan and Terrence at restaurant calmly eating, outside zombie apocalypse is in full swing.

Frame2: Ivan: “So what do you think about this swine-flu thing?” Terrence: “Over-rated.”

Frame3: Terrence: “This is America, we have hospitals and doctors and anti-viral medications. Here, we got nothing to worry about.”

Frame4: Panicked citizen slams up against glass right next to Terrence and Ivan’s table.

Frame5: Person is ripped apart by zombies and carried away.

Frame6: Terrence: “So like I was saying, this whole swine flu thing is gonna end up being just like the bird flu. What’s next, zebra flu?”

Comic7: One frame, shows Terrence and Ivan fighting off horde of zombies. Thought bubble shows them imagining themselves sitting quietly in the office working, while a thought bubble from that illustrates them imagining themselves fighting zombies, but with cooler weapons.

Comic8: Frame1: Boss, standing in between Terrence and Ivan’s desks. Boss: “Well, with Jilian gone it’s time to start interviewing new art leads.”

Frame2: Boss: “But I’ve got yoga this afternoon, so I’m going to let you guys screen the perspective candidates.”

Frame3: Terrance and ivan star at each other in disbelief.

Frame4: Terrence: “So… you’re basically going to have us higher our own boss?”

Frame5: Boss: “Well, when you put it that way…”

Frame6: Boss: “Yes.”

Comic9: Interviews, Day 1 Frame1: Preppy looking guy in shirt and tie sitting in office with Terrence and ivan. Preppy Guy: “Boy, that was some mess outside there, I tell ya what…” Terrence: “It’s called a zombie invasion.”

Frame2: Preppy Guy: “Zombie what now?” Ivan: “Zombie invasion. Are you sure you’re qualified for this job?”

Frame3: Preppy Guy: “Whoever heard of a zombie? I mean just what the heck is that?” Terrence: “It says on your resume you have a four-year degree in 3D art?”

Frame4: Preppy Guy: “Yeah it was a correspondence course, I got it all online. Boy this zombie thing of yours is stupid, I mean who the heck thinks stuff like this is funny?” Ivan: “…and it says here you’ve worked only for architects and interior decorators since graduating…”

Frame5: Terrence: “Hey, listen, before we can consider you, we want you to go talk to the old art-lead. If you go outside I’m sure you can find him somewhere in the thickest part of the zombie horde.” Preppy Guy: “Isn’t that dangerous?”

Frame6: Ivan and Terrence in unison: “No.”

Comic10: Interviews, Day 2 Frame1: Thor the God of Thunder sitting in the office with Terrence and Ivan. Thor: “Well, you know, things have been a little slow lately.”

Frame2: Thor: “I mean, what with the recession and all.”

Frame3: Thor: “So they had to make a few cutbacks.”

Frame4: Thor: “But, I mean, I’m not really about the money, I’m independently wealthy and all.”

Frame5: Thor: “So, you know, I’m on the market really cheap, and I’ll take whatever I can get.”

Frame6: Ivan: “Let’s put him on the ‘maybe’ pile.”

Comic 11: Interviews, Day 3 Frame1: Normal looking guy, wearing a game shirt, Terrence: “Well I mean you look pretty well qualified, nice background, several published titles. I think we’ll probably be calling you back.”

(Note: Ivan and Terrence get progressively more horrified as comic progresses.) Frame2: Normal guy pops open whiskey bottle. Normal Guy: “Woooo! Party!”

Frame3: Normal Guy snorts a line of something while chugging beer.

Frame4: Normal Guy lights up crack-pipe while injecting self with syringe.

Frame5: Normal Guy keels over, clearly dead.

Frame6: Terrence: “Well, he’s still better than our last art lead.” Ivan: “Yeah, at least he has a good reason when he soils his pants.”

Comic 12: Interviews, Day 4 Frame1: Ivan and Terrence in office with ASIMO robot. ASIMO: “Beep.” Ivan: “You’re… a robot.”

Frame2: Terrence: “Ivan, man, you’re just being racist.” ASIMO: “Beep, beep!”

Frame3: Terrence: “I mean, just because he’s a robot and physically incapable of creativity, doesn’t mean he can’t be a competent and effective art lead.” ASIMO: “Beep!”

Frame4: Terrence: “He’s just as artistic and creative as the last guy, probably more, and at least he’s not going to come to work drunk!” ASIMO: “Beep?”

Frame5: Ivan: “He’s a robot that cost $166,000 a year to hire.” ASIMO: “Beep…”

Frame6: Terrence: “Well let’s still throw him on the maybe pile. I kinda like the idea of having a boss with an off-switch.”

Comic 13: Interviews, Day 5 Frame1: Ivan: “This is just getting ludicrous.” Terrence: “I know! Who thought finding a qualified patsy would be so difficult?”

Frame2: Ivan: “After all the trouble we went through finding jobs, all the competition we were supposedly facing, why is there NO ONE qualified to be the art lead?” Terrence: “That jerko barely did any work anyway, and we still got stuff done, it can’t be a hard job!”

Frame3: Terrence: “In fact, I bet you or I could do it, easy.” Ivan: “Totally!”

Frame4: Ivan and Terrence stare at each other.

Frame5: Ivan and Terrence stare at each other.

Frame6: Ivan and Terrence turn frantically back to their computers and a page comes out of the printer with the word ‘Resume’ across the top.

Comic 14: Competion, Day 1 Frame1: Terrence and Ivan furiously working away at computers. Terrence: “Look, you know I’ve got more experience and better organizational skills. I should be the new art lead.”

Frame2: Ivan: “Yeah, well I’ve got a better eye, you’re the one who’s always coming to me for advice.”

Frame3: Terrence: “BS, we work together; and I’m the one that always has to keep you in-line with the concept art!”

Frame4: Ivan: “We’ve gone over this, I think the concept art is stupid! And you agreed with me until you hooked up with the concept artist after last year’s Christmas party!”

Frame5: Terrence: “I was DRUNK!” Ivan: “You darn well better have been.”

Frame6: Ivan and Terrence shiver in unison.

Comic 15: Competion, Day 2 Frame1: Terrence and Ivan furiously working away at computers. Terrence: “Look, I helped you get this job, so there is no way they are gonna promote you ahead of me!” Ivan: “Oh you think so?”

Frame2: Terrence: “Hey man, it’s only fair.” Ivan: “FAIR IS NEEDLES TO THE FACE!”

Frame2: Boss: “And I’d just as soon give either of you the job than higher somebody competent.”

Frame2: Jilian lumbers into frame, now clearly a zombie. Jilian: “BEEEESSST! BEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!”

Frame3: Boss: “He’s a lot like our old art lead, only now he’s a zombie. Which as far as I can tell is probably an improvement.” Jilian: “BEESSTTTT!”

Frame4: Boss: “I know it’s less than ideal, but this way I don’t have to fill out any paperwork.” Jilian: “BBESST!”

Frame5: Boss leaves. Terrence: “You know, I think I actually like him better this way. He’s still says pretty much the same stuff, only now he’s speaking his mind instead of wrapping it in a layer of manure.” Jilian, pointing at own screen: “BEEESSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTT!!!!”

Frame6: Ivan and Terrence back to work as usual.
