With The Other Dead, Gears of War’s Joshua Ortega and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle co-creator Kevin Eastman are coming together to bring you zombies like you’ve never seen them before–with four legs.No shambling zombies here–after all, what fun would a cheetah or greyhound zombie be if they had to slow to a crawl?–and some of the critters you see trying to overtake the planet with their undead plague don’t immediately strike terror into the hearts of man.It is kind of neat seeing Eastman draw a zombie turtle, though. There’s that.The series sounds promising, though, and it’s due in shops on September 11–which has, of course, given rise to the “Obama 9/11 variant” seen at right. The final order cutoff is this week, so if you want to get a copy of this IDW miniseries, you’ll have to act fast. To that end, we’ve lined up an interview with the series’ writers–Ortega and Digger T. Mesch–to tease what to expect from the series and tell you why it’s not “just another zombie book.”ComicBook.com: Alright, so obviously we’ve got an interesting group of creators here. How did you guys come together?
