Fanboys vs. Zombies #20

The convention chaos reaches a fever pitch in this penultimate-feeling chapter from BOOM! Studios, as a scrappy crew of con-goers — lanyards, Superman shirts, and makeshift swords included — collide head-on with a snarling horde of the undead. The cover, by Houghton and Gaylord, pulls the two sides together in a dynamic two-page-style spread, with a determined red-haired fangirl and a ravenous pink-haired zombie squaring off front and center in a fist-flying clash that perfectly captures the series' gleeful mix of geek culture and B-movie mayhem. If you've been following this 2013 BOOM! series, issue #20 looks like a satisfying, action-packed entry in the ongoing battle for survival at the world's most dangerous fan gathering.
