Gung Ho Vol 1

ABLAZE proudly presents...GUNG-HO...a “spiritual successor” to The Walking Dead! If you like The Walking Dead, you’ll love GUNG-HO... In the near future, the “White Plague” has almost completely decimated humanity, and civilization is only a sweet memory. The world as a whole has become a danger zone, where survival is only possible within towns or fortified villages. Enter orphaned brothers Zack and Archer Goodwoody, troublemaking teens who have just arrived at Fort Apache, and about to learn the hard rules of integration into the colony. Outside the walls lies a hostile and deadly environment, but inside is also a dangerous place, as the boys are about to find out. Benjamin von Eckartsberg and Thomas von Kummant deliver a creative and visual tour de force with jaw- dropping artwork that will transport you to a brand new post-apocalyptic world where the tension is palpable, and the wrong move will get you killed...or worse.

Instead of Bagster, it's Archer who is accused, betrayed and condemned by false evidence. Archer finds himself in very bad predicament, with the real possibility of permanent exile from the colony looming…

After a rough start to their new life at Fort Apache, Zach and Archer are starting to make friends and fit in. But then a sudden, unexpected breach to the fort happens...white reapers penetrate the colony’s defenses with quick and deadly consequences. Both brothers make choices during the breach that will have lasting impacts on their lives and those around them...

Archer has been banished from the colony, falsely condemned for the rape of Celine. But Zack doesn't believe in his brother's guilt, so an expedition is launched into the danger zone. Unbeknownst to the rest of the community, the teens go to look for Archer...if he is still alive. The expedition will not be without risks though, nor without unpleasant surprises... Back at Fort Apache, confusion reigns and tensions are at an all-time high, as the adults look to safeguard the young and keep the colony intact. But with a "white wave" approaching, is it already too late?

GUNG-HO Vol 2 picks up shortly after the events in “Short Circuit,” where at Fort Apache, the situation is more tense than ever, as the threat posed by the rippers adds to an increasingly difficult life for the colony, which is running out of supplies, heavy weapons and ammunition. In the midst of it all, Archer accuses Bagster of raping Celine, and demands a public trial from Kingsten. But the trial does not go as planned. Instead of Bagster, it's Archer who is accused, betrayed and condemned by false evidence. He is exiled from Fort Apache, and tattooed with a cross on his forehead, a mark that makes him an outlaw, unable to seek refuge in any colony whatsoever. But Zack doesn't believe in his brother's guilt, so an expedition is launched into the danger zone. Unbeknownst to the rest of the community, the teens go to look for Archer, if he is still alive. The expedition will not be without risks though, nor without unpleasant surprises... GUNG-HO Volume 2 collects the next two storylines of the critically acclaimed series, "Sexy Beast" and "Anger," into one terrific, tension-filled volume! BONUS: A complete cover gallery!
