About the series
In this eight-issue DC series from 2012, writer Dan Abnett and artist I. N. J. Culbard reimagine Edwardian England as a world where the upper classes have become zombies—a condition they call "the Restless"—to avoid death, while the lower classes remain mortal and resentful. A detective investigates a murder that upends this rigid social order, blending a classic whodunit with horror and class satire. The series stands out for its clever genre mash-up and Culbard's moody, period-infused artwork.
