Dead of Summer/WMG

The Zombie Apocalypse WAS bird flu.
The government just didn't tell the people the whole story of what happened when you were infected.

If the comic is continued, current members of The Protomen will appear.
To keep up with the times.

The comic is a dramatization of a Tabletop RPG game.
Much of the craziness that happened was due to fumbled die rolls.
