LOS ANGELES, CA (January 17,\u00a02019)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 BOOM! Studios today announcedROCKO\u2019S MODERN AFTERLIFE\u00a0<\/strong>will be available in stores on April 3, 2019. In this four-issue limited series from writer Anthony Burch (Borderlands 2<\/em>) and artist Mattia Di Meo (Adventure Time\/Regular Show<\/em>), everyone\u2019s favorite wallaby, Rocko, is trying to survive the zombie outbreak that\u2019s taken over his home of O-Town!<\/p>\n

Too much screen time was already making O-Town\u2019s citizens mindless, but now something is turning them into mindless zombies, and Rocko wants nothing to do with it. He barricades himself and his pup Spunky in their home, determined to outlast the hordes. But desperate times call for desperate measures when Rocko\u2019s best friend Heffer becomes infected. Rocko will have to risk everything to save his friends and his city!<\/p>\n

\u201cRocko\u2019s Modern Life\u00a0<\/em>has always been laced with hilarious social commentary, but now we\u2019re taking things up a notch by infusing that humor with a dose of the undead,\u201d said editor Matthew Levine. \u201cAnthony and Mattia are crafting a Rocko story like never before and one that can\u2019t be missed.\u201d<\/p>\n

ROCKO\u2019S MODERN AFTERLIFE #1<\/strong>, featuring a main cover by Ian McGinty (Adventure Time, Invader Zim<\/em>) and preorder variant cover by illustrator and artist Joey McCormick (Teen Titans Go To The Movies<\/em>), is the latest release as part of the partnership between Nickelodeon and BOOM! Studios\u2019 award-winning KaBOOM! imprint, home to comics for middle grade and younger readers.<\/p>\n
