This, this is the page of LOATHING. I hate this page. I imagine every comic artist has that ONE page that they just can't stand. This one here is mine.
At first I had this 2 page hugeass thing that everyone like...jumped into the helicopter.
Then I was like, wait, a ladder would be so much easier, and SAFER, . So I cut that shit out and made just a simple, slightly rushed page.
I am eager to get this story fucking rolling, now that the script is on its way to being finished, or at least there is a clear path set anyways, yargh.





Original script for 10-08-2007:
This script may not match the finished comic! It will, however, contain the original spelling errors and other mistakes.
Maureen: Fuck. They gotta jump it.
[you see zombies reaching for Dan and Charlie over the edge]
[Jenny opens the helicopter door and holds out her hand]
Jenny: JUMP!
Charlie: Dan jump.
[Dan doesn't hesitate to jump and does]
[Charlie hesitates, examining Katie carefully, and then the jump, just to be sure he doesn't accidentally cause her death]
[the zombies are coming back, and they're reaching for him, and stuff, and Jenny's getting pissed because he hasn't jumped yet]
Jenny: Charlie!? Jump!
[Cuts to Sammie dealing with Dan]
Jenny: What are you afraid of? Come ON!! It's not like you can die from the fall, or anything!
[Charlie strengthens his grip on Katie]
Charlie: No, but you may be forgetting that your friend can!
[Jenny gives an aww man, I'm such an asshole, look]
[Then Charlie jumps]
[the Helicopter lifts]
[Jenny's lookin' sad, and at the zombies,]
Sammie: Are you okay Charlie?
Charlie: Don't worry about me.
[The helicopter pulls up and leaves zombies behind on the roof]

Author's Notes: I took that out too, because that seemed like that would be an INSANE picture to draw, ALSO, they would have thought to use the ladder instead of jumping, so I scrapped this. Which was a little disappointing because I wanted to make Jenny look more like a douche here. Oh well. There is PLENTY more times where I can do that.
The Zombie Hunters is an online long-form comic that chronicles the life and times of a group of individuals assigned to salvage materials in a post-apocalyptic scenario. We follow the characters through their adventures on the 'safe' island of the Argus Research Campus, as well as their expeditions among the zombies found throughout the wastelands. The Zombie Hunters attracts a diverse audience of fans from all walks of life, including but not limited to: students, college students, hunters, soldiers, paramilitary, ex-military, nerds, jocks, and geeks alike, or even anyone who just enjoys a good romp through the end of the world. The comic is rated R for violence, language, and the occasional zomboobie.
The main cast includes:
Milo, the captain and only member with real military experience. A former Army sergeant, he does his best to keep the team alive.
Jenny, Milo's main squeeze and by default the team's second in command. She's looking for safety, and Milo provides.
Sammie, the medic and local sociopath- she actually steals candy from children. We're not too sure what her deal is, but figure she's mostly just along for the ride.
The dastardly duo, Maureen and Katie- Maureen is a high-quality redneck mechanic, and Katie is her tiny sidekick. We don't know what they did before the apocalypse, but Mau is a badass driver, and apparently Katie used to play chess and take fencing lessons.
