20 Degrees Past Rigor

In this taut three-issue series from Zombie Love Studios, writer Rodney Barnes and artist Maan House explore a chilling near-future where a mysterious condition known as "Rigor" transforms the deceased into something far more dangerous than simple zombies. The story follows a desperate group of survivors navigating a world where the dead don't just rise—they evolve, forcing humanity to confront both the horror outside and the fractures within. Launched in 2024, the series stands out for its grounded, character-driven take on the zombie genre, anchored by Barnes's sharp social commentary and House's visceral, moody artwork. It's a compact but potent entry into modern horror comics, proving that even a limited run can leave a lasting impact.
