They were heroes, using their superhuman abilities to make Los Angeles a better place. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThen the plague of living death spread around the globe. Billions died, civilization fell, and the city of angels was left a desolate zombie wasteland.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNow, a year later, the Mighty Dragon and his companions protect a last few thousand survivors in their film-studio-turned-fortress, the Mount. Scarred and traumatized by the horrors they’ve endured, the heroes fight the armies of ravenous ex-humans at their citadel’s gates, lead teams out to scavenge for supplies—and struggle to be the symbols of strength and hope the survivors so desperately need. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut the hungry ex-humans aren’t the only threats the heroes face. Former allies, their powers and psyches hideously twisted, lurk in the city’s ruins. And just a few miles away, another group is slowly amassing power . . . led by an enemy with the most terrifying ability of all.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“Zombies? Check.
