The Dead: Most of Britain has fallen to an invasion of zombies. There is no escape from their insatiable appetite for living flesh. But in Oxford an unlikely alliance between a crew of fire-fighters and a pair of misfit soldiers has allowed them to survive. Now, with the city virtually overrun, it's time to strike back!!

An exclusive Forbidden Planet variant cover of The Dead will be available to buy on the day!
