A THRILLING ADAPTATION OF THE BEST-SELLING BLACK TIDE RISING SERIES
The media calls it the Pacific Flu. The CDC calls it H7D3, and it spreads like wildfire. The virus combines the worst symptoms of Rabies and the common Flu, and is suspected to be man-made. The first reports of feral, cannibalistic βzombie-likeβ symptoms were met with disbelief and skeptical amusement, but nobodyβs laughing now. Scientists, backed by the worldβs governments and its wealthiest institutions, race against the clock to develop a cure as infections rise and cities fall.
A glimmer of hope appears as a vaccine is discovered, but its production requires harvesting the spinal tissue of the infected, a grim task that tests the limits of human morality. With no other choices apparent, time is quickly running out before hordes of infected overwhelm the last remaining bastions of civilization.
In the first days of the outbreak, a college history professor receives a cryptic warning from a trusted source. Its baffling, yet unmistakable message translates as: βPACK UP, GET OUT, AND GO NOW!β
Steve Smith and his family donβt waste any time; they leave their normal, comfortable lives behind to get ahead of the inevitable panic and survive the end of the world!

Praise forΒ Black Tide Rising: The Graphic Novel:
βA badass tale of the apocalypse, told John Ringo-style with an extra dose of awesome from Chuck Dixon! It isn't just about the end of the world; it's about what it takes to come out the other side.β βLarry Correia
βSo you think you've read every kind of zombie tale to be told? Wrong! Chuck Dixon and team pull out all the stops withΒ Black Tide RisingΒ and twist the genre on its ear by populating the story with characters you actually care about! That's almost sacrilege! With Santacruz and Smith on the art chores, this is a must have for the horror and zombie fan. Your library is naked without it.β βGraham Nolan
βBlack Tide RisingΒ would seem fantastical β except the last few years have proved otherwise. Illustrates the importance of free thinkers, being prepared, being vigilant, and having a plan! I want to be in the movie!β βDean Cain
β[D]elivers all the zombie action fans crave, plus sly allusions to a western culture that has lost its way. Even better? Some eye-popping panels you'll want to blow up and frame for your movie room.β βChristian Toto
β[A] terrific graphic novel that serves as both an allegory for our current COVID nonsense, as well as graphically (pardon the pun) depicting what a real viral pandemic would look like.Β Black Tide RisingΒ strikes a blow for individual liberty and freedom, which is the only thing that stands in the way of the tyranny we are seeing established in the West, after its murderous run in Europe and the Far East.β βNick Searcy

About the Black Tide Rising Series:
βNot only has Ringo found a mostly unexplored corner of the zombie landscape, he's using the zombie frame to tackle a broader theme: the collapse and rebirth of civilization. The zombie scenes are exciting, sure, but its the human story that keeps us involved. A fine series.β βBooklist
