By Jarred A. Luján — Dead Day is a zombie comic from Aftershock Comics, written by Ryan Parrot and drawn by Evgeniy Bornyakov. Zombie media is hard because the bar is always high. Zombie stories are so popular and so in the cultural zeitgeist that it is an increased challenge to do something fresh and new with them. Often times, zombie film/comics/games are just the same tired tropes resurrected (ha!) and rehashed.
