At the peak of the Second Cold War, the USA launch a Dimensional Bomb which kills 90% of the Euro-Asiatic population, and causes the collapse of USA. But the most negative consequence of this disaster is the destruction of the Earth's twin dimension, the Realm of Death. The screaming souls of all who once inhabited the Realm of Death invade the Earth, taking possession of the dead bodies and bringing destruction to the living. The leader of this huge army of zombies is the God of the Void, Lord of the Realm of Death, who wants to conquer the Earth to re-build his reign.
In 2048 humans are living under siege. Only a few of them have the courage to cross the border and go forward into the lands of the Living Dead. Sheldon and his team of survivors are looking for food when they get lost. Waiting for them is the 4th Division of the USA Army. Dead. Resurrected. Fully armed. Only Blue Leaf can save them. She is a Shaman-Girl whose duty it was to guide the departed to the Realm of the Death, before its destruction. Her ancient knowledge could bring back peace to the world, but first she must face her hate for the same humanity that has provoked so many disasters. A hard task, but the Great Spirit, the Entity who has always watched over planet Earth, talks to her. And Sheldon will be at her side.
Nice job - I always enjoy the Euro style you guys have. Good luck!!
Hello Guys, I was silent to let all your wonderful comments stay on the top of the page, but it seems now it's my turn!
USA ad CSI were has been the main players and responsible of the Second Cold War. They developed their armies and weapons, creating terrible machines (Robodeaths Tanks included). The rest of the world has been a powerless witness of the incoming catastrophe. But actually the south of the world, in Robodeath, is still alive, and the shamans from South America, Africa, Australia, (and the Euro Asiatic's too) are working to have an important role on the fight to restore the reality's equilibrium...
By the by, who were the states fighting in the second cold war, or was it every other nation on the globe?
"Marco!"
"Marco!"
You moved up a spot. Keep on keepin on!!!
BRAVO!!!!
I may have said this before but I have a soft spot for zombie stories. This one, though, has originality with the living-dead's origin. Blue-Leaf seems like she will be a pretty cool anti-heroine. Great possibilities with this title. I haven't read the others but this may be the one I vote for. Nice job!
English as a second language caused you some problems here::
"meet some living dead already no?" People here in the states don't use the word no like that -at least none I have ever met. it would have sounded better if you had said "met some living dead already, right?"
"we mustn't lose our heads" "probably we are far away" It just didn't sound right.

I hate text boxes even when they are just used as a another character's overview commentary.

Liked the first screen kind of like a film pan out camera shot wise. I liked the action in the story, very good job on the zombies art wise, very good pace, and a nice intro of the magic with the shaman girl at the end. Loved robodeath we also got giant robots, transformers, meets george romero, sweet!
***********************************************************
Really impressed with the art, reminded me of geoff darrow's work. I also enjoyed the colors of the comic, and you could read the font. All good things.
************************************************************
Without the giant robot it would have been another zombie story, and I am beyond over the walking dead, but with the robot kick ass comic here we are!!!! Not to mention the magic element, cover all the good genre's guys sci-fi, fantasy, horror give the people what they want a good action/horror story with a lot of promise for the next screens. I was also clicking on screen 8 to see screen 9 before I realized it, would love to read the rest of the story.

I'm with MPD and deadpool, I doubt you will get my vote for keeps this month, but really a very fun comic. You did get 5 stars and a fav.

Looks great, love the artwork!
That describes my feelings about the situation precisely!
Hehehe! The only thing I can say is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBsxqQIu_5s
Hmmmm! Me and Dshide voting for the same strip. What is wrong with this picture?
COOL!
Hello everyone! Thanks again for al the feedbacks and votes.
To Mpd57, I like your comment, it catches the spirit of our comic. Robodeath it's like a b-movie, pure entertainment and visual spectacularity. There are contents too, but I believe that the less an author tries to say, the more his story will communicate. And yes, we had a lot of fun during Robodeath's creation, but the best has yet to come!
My vote is for you!
Really impressive!!I want to read more!!
I LOVE this, and can't believe it's not higher up in the rankings. You've got my vote for sure!
Robodeath is a great title. Not the most subtle of sells, but I like it. It kinda explains everything you really need to know without resorting to the word zombie. Considering how popular the zombie genre is (and I'm not a fan) I'm surprised that this isn't higher up the rankings. It's certainly 'giving them what they want'! I think one of the reasons I'm so sympathetic to this strip is all that overworked detail. It not entirely the best artwork, but I reckon you must have had a ton-o-fun drawing it. Military, Zombies, Hot Chick, Robot. Check, check, check and check. How can it lose? Oh, yeah and I love the flies! More of those. You can never draw too many flies! I think this comic demonstrates something to myself. A little like Agent Happydeath in the previous competition, I think some comics just defeat my capacity to criticise them in any objective way. There is just a random combination of things here that just float my boat. I shouldn't like this comic. But I do. I really like it. Despite the fact that it seems so trivial and obvious I just want more of it. And if a comic hits me on some deep primal level it's always more likely to win out over my (somewhat limited) intelligence! I think I've just talked myself into a vote for this one! Now I'm off to read Thor: Vikings again!
Something sick....I like that!!Good work!!
I would have liked to get to know the soldiers better. Otherwise, who cares what their death machine can do?
Run,guys,ruuuunn!!!!!!
In Neil's spirit of promoting. Come on over and vote for Golden. I know you will love it. And I am starting a little incentive contest. Here is the deal. The person who gets the most people to the Golden pages will receive a one of a kind sketch of Kintaro signed by Scott and me. Get all of your friends, loved ones and associates to stop by Zuda and take a look at Golden. If they leave a message stating that you sent them over there I will keep track and the person with the most referrals by May 23rd will receive the signed Kintaro sketch as well as a signed copy of the script. Sound fun? If you have any questions about it drop me a note here or over in the Zuda talk back section. Don't waste any time. Start getting those folks over there now!
If you want to see a picture of the sketch you will receive go here...

Me gusta mucho tu trabajo..muy majo!

Great job mate!!!!
Thanks to all for comments!!!
For Comica: I like so much egyptian drawings!!;D
it so happens that.. them like also to "Heavy Metal" and "2000AD"...
Thank you!!
sorry i do not even think Stefano has a substantial base as far as anatomy and figure drawing go. Most of his work is flat, and without any real sense of depth or structure. At times sloppy and hard to understand at first glance exactly what is going on. Just seems like an amateur artist adding lines were his instinct tell him, no real feel of planning and/or translation. If i could compare, it would be to the ancient egyptian pyramid drawings.
good luck in reaching the artistic base you are actually attempting to reach.
Hi Comica, I'm sorry for the email accident, you were amongst my contact. I'll remove your address as far as I'll known who you are, if this is what you want! About the art, I'm one of the greatest fans of Stefano, his style suits my taste, and not only mine. I hope you'll find some time to read our story and check all the other comics in this website.
An email was sent to me asking me to vote. As you will soon realize, that may not have been a wise idea in promotion. First lets establish one thing: The art is horrible. Besides being very amateur, it is very 2 dimensional. You get no sense of depth or distance, just a bunch of mildly recognizable objects. Proportions are off. Colors compliment the boring 2d outdated style. As someone said, im bored before i even preview let alone BUY a comic of this calibur. Sorry but the art being so bad, i hardly find the strength to fully pay attention to the story(which hopefully is the better part of the book). Sorry but dead honest speaking: this is a book that will never amount to anything serious in any aspect. As many times as i say "sorry" youd think id emotionally, sincerely mean it. But i dont. In that regard i am sorry.
I recommend an artist who can better capture audiences. Look at it from a realistic stand point. How many people will put 3.50$ on this book? Im all for a regulated artistic expression, but the art here is so aweful, i felt compelled to speak out.
I will seek to have my email removed from your mailing list as i was not aware i was even on it.

The art was well done, but the style is not one I enjoy for story telling. The last page didn't really seem to fit in with the rest.
"post-apocalypse, military soldiers, big tanks that turn into even bigger robots, zombies WITH guns" You're right Illinest! Add motorcycles turning into esoskeletons, a spiritual trip in a devastated higher dimension, fights and all we know about shamans.
"saving the afore mentioned highly trained, heavily armed military men from the undead militia" this is wrong! Blue Leaf is a shaman, she's with the dead people. She's completely human, she hates the rest of humanity (a part of), because of what they did to her and to Mother Earth. No cell phone or boy bands for her, but drums, medicines and near death experiences. And action!
"The lame idealist teenage girls who's always talking like we're all so bad, humanity is what's wrong with the world, etc..." That's me, except for the teenage girl part!
Thanks Roby75!
Bravissimo!
First Impression:
I was okay with this as long as it was robots against zombies. Actually the transformation started to involve me a bit, but then that chick showed up.
She engages in humorous banter with some spirit, which contradicts the mood that you'd been establishing. Mood gone.
She complains about humanity, but she looks completely human. That means that at BEST she's one of those lame idealist teenage girls who's always talking like 'we're all so bad, humanity is what's wrong with the world, everything was better before we came along', and then when you tell her she should start by throwing away her cell phone she gives you a death stare and heads to the mall, oblivious to her own stupidity.
The more likely (and worse explanation in my eyes) is that you dropped the ball on a chance to visually differentiate her from the normal run of the mill humanity.
"Ah but we wanted her to look normal in order to..."
Is where I'm afraid this conversation would lead next, in which case I'd counter that since you're already loaded with post-apocalypse, military soldiers, big tanks that turn into even bigger robots, zombies WITH guns, conspiracy theory, apparently a loss of the earth's magnetic field and basic navigation skills, and strange blue spirits who joke with young women about the necessity of saving the afore mentioned highly trained, heavily armed military men from the undead militia ALL BY HER SELF, I think you've already got more than enough loose ends started up without tacking on a 'by the way I'm not human even though I look completely human'.
Unless you're trying to set a record for most stories started in 8 Zuda pages.
Also, spelling error.
it's a very good job!!! compliments!!!
