Awesome! I hope they have comics like this more often

Oh Gabriel, you don't use molotovs against the giant hammer zombies. You use exploding shuriken. Two and they drop.

The only problem with them is they tend to summon (spawn) virals to come wreck you.

Has Gabe always been left handed? For that matter is Mike?(I have never paid attention)

I don't know where it is on the Rules for Zombies, but I'm pretty sure "Do not light zombies on fire, because then you just have to deal with flaming zombies," is very high on the list of Rules for Zombies.

I remember having that on the Zombie list in middle school.

Which game is this referencing, or is it just a general zombie exploration?

Senno

I'm guessing this is a reference to Dying Light?

Dying Light.

Looks pretty good, the climbing is at Ass Creed levels of easy; you can grab onto just about any ledge

Nice form! I'm digging the freckles on Gabe too.

I believe so, yes. I remember finding this out when he was complaining about the most recent Surface and how his hand kept bumping a button or something like that because he's a satan worshipping leftie.

So colored noses are definitely here to stay, huh?

I didn't noticed until you mentioned it. Tycho looks like he is suffering from a terminal illness in panel one. I know Mike is playing around with his style, and that actual human noses are often a different color from their faces, but I don't think it works on some characters specifically: Tycho.

Zetx

Tycho just needs a lighter-colored nose. Right now, it looks like the color of his hair.

(And based on Gabe's face in the last panel, he doesn't care about your Rules for Zombies!)

Mr_Grinch

Fond memories of the first time I did this to a witch in L4D then ran away screaming...

That would probably help, the way it is now, and with the bags under his eye, he looks jaundiced.

I dunno, Tycho. The Molotov seems to have reduced the zombie's size by about 1/3, so I'd say it's somewhat of an improvement.

Commander Zoom

Golden Yak

Uh-oh! Looks like Gabe and Tycho have been sucked into their favorite video-game!

That's quite a newspost. Who is Tim Rogers? I mean, I guess this is Tim Rogers probably. But why is he apparently some supernemesis to Jerry?

I believe Jerry is employing "sarcasm," a method he often deploys in news posts.

That sketch dump is really awesome. I love getting the in-betweens and behind the scenes of Mike's artwork (or any artist for that matter). It really humanizes the process and the quick tips are immensely interesting and a huge help. More please.

Neuroskeptic

Basically Jerry loves Tim Rogers's games, but hates the way he writes.

I just noticed Gabe is running with right arm and right leg out front. That's so like him. Weirdo.
