O-Town Overrun by Mysterious Epidemic in April 2019<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

LOS ANGELES, CA (March 8, 2019)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at\u00a0ROCKO\u2019S MODERN AFTERLIFE #1<\/strong>, available in stores on April 3, 2019. In this exciting first issue in the limited comic book 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

Welcome to the future of O-town where everyone\u2019s cell phone is glued to their hands, Heffer makes a living streaming video games online, and the latest app lets you avoid all contact with everyone else without even looking up from your gadget! But even in the midst of this \u00a0techno-utopia, there\u2019s something not quite right with Rocko\u2019s fellow citizens as the authorities call for a city-wide lockdown. While Rocko takes the two weeks as a time to chill and unplug from technology, the rest of the town seems to be going mad. When danger comes knocking at his door, the newly zen wallaby will have to choose whether to stay barricaded within his increasingly surrounded home or venture forth into a wasteland filled with mindless versions of his friends and neighbors.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnthony and Mattia bring a fresh and hilarious take to everyone\u2019s favorite neurotic wallaby. Rocko has to find the resolve to brave the undead and save his friends \u201d said Matthew Levine, Editor. \u201cCome for the mindless zombie hordes and stay for the social satire as Rocko and the rest of O-town find out exactly who they are when society breaks down around them.\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, including licensed series such as\u00a0Rocko\u2019s Modern Life<\/em>,\u00a0Rugrats<\/em>,\u00a0Steven Universe<\/em>,\u00a0Peanuts<\/em>, and Garfield, along with original series like\u00a0Mega Princess<\/em>\u00a0by Kelly Thompson and Brianne Drouhard,\u00a0Bodie Trol<\/em>l by Jay Fosgitt, Ruinworld by Derek Laufman, and\u00a0The Deep<\/em>\u00a0by Tom Taylor and James Brouwer.<\/span><\/p>\n
