    Or Murdo’s really just not jetting the job done

  2. spacklegeek Says:

    Dun dun dun DUN….

  3. Chris Says:

    Murdo should have had someone else back up Grady, I know it wouldn’t look good for the reason to be leaving his post is to go have sex(well, some people would think that its a perfectly acceptable reason) but with millions of zombies at your door, you should have at least two people on watch so things like that doesn’t happen.

    I wonder if this page would be more dramatic with no woofing from the dog?

  4. Nara Says:

    ACK!!! managed to read this but OMG what a cliffhanger for me!!! oh noooooooossss!!!!!! i will be chomping at the bit on the way home!! SO GOOD!!!

  5. Bobby Crosby Says:

    Chris: Math and Val can smell zombies coming (Math more so than Val) and the last they heard is that the closest zombies are 10 miles out and only a small group, so they’re not too concerned about it. They think Math is taking care of it. Also, Murdo couldn’t have helped on this in any way, and the fact that he’s not on the roof will actually SAVE LIVES.  I won’t say too much more because it gives away spoilers, but anyway, you’ll see, keep reading. Also, the bark is fairly important and makes it more dramatic, I think. You’ll have to read the next several pages to understand more (well, the next 10 or so, really).

  6. dragonhouse Says:

    something’s up and I think the only reason Matheson doesn’t sense something is his head is buried in her chest. i wonder…

  7. Kelly Says:

    I cannot wait for the next couple pages!!! And like Nara, I will be chomping at the bit. See you guys friday!!!!

  8. Irish Says:

    I broke my bit! I need a new one, I chomped through it!

  9. Lydia Says:

    Oh my God, she smothered him with her breasts!

  10. Frauke Says:

    Well, for me it doesn’t look like Mudo’s really sleeping. If you look at Val’s position… she’s on top, right?. *fg* Btw if I were Murdo, i wouldn’t sleep next to Lady “I do NOT cuddle”.
    I really kan imagine these scenes in the movie. Great!

  11. Brellchild Says:

    I really don’t see how it could be the nearest group of zombies. Given the hair trigger the vampires *were* on, they would have picked up on them moving closer. And even if they are the best tunnelers in the world zombies are still going to need most of a day to dig ten miles.

    I think it’s either Mac/ Devian or TFZ. More likely Devian and (if he survived) Mac returning. TFZ wouldn’t be stupid enough to get that close to vampires when he doesn’t need to.

    And if Murdo was stupid enough to leave his post without sending a replacement (or several) to the roof he ain’t no Marine.

    Question to the author if I may: Did you ever say how long TFZ had been a vampire before he got put in that coffin?

    I’m starting to wonder if he was a ‘newborn’ who was going through the transition to vampire but his fellow crewmembers (assuming he was on a ship when it happened) thought he was dead and thus buried him at sea.

  12. Bobby Crosby Says:

    “Well, for me it doesn’t look like Mudo’s really sleeping.”

    He’s definitely not sleeping. You are correct. Yes, Val on top.

    “And if Murdo was stupid enough to leave his post without sending a replacement (or several) to the roof he ain’t no Marine.”

    In Panel 3 you can see Grady on the roof, and it’s pretty much just Murdo and Grady who previously did any looking out. Others scared wimps. Either way, though, they now have MATH, so Murdo thinks they’re perfectly fine. Much more safe than they were 24 hours ago at least. And he’s not gonna give up on this opportunity. And they all still think that they’re all probably gonna die soon anyway no matter what, keep in mind.

    “And even if they are the best tunnelers in the world zombies are still going to need most of a day to dig ten miles.”

    They don’t need to dig anything. I thought we already went over how there are underground passageways of some sort, and several people explained how that’s extremely possible, but it doesn’t matter what’s “normal” — there’s a secret way that I previously hinted that TFZ helped in building, I thought. Let’s not have any more questions about that, though — too many spoilers already.

    “I think it’s either Mac/ Devian or TFZ.”

    Math said he smelled a small group. Sounds like more than two to me.

    “Did you ever say how long TFZ had been a vampire before he got put in that coffin?”

    He allowed himself to be put in the coffin (that’s what he wanted) and I never said, no. Less than a year.

    *Faints from lack of air*

    I’m just thinking, lucky Math. And I can’t help thinking that, despite the impending doom for Billy.

  14. nader Says:

    gah, bobby! That just gives even more questions! Now even -I- can’t wait for TFZ to make his appearance and tell us what’s REALLY going on. >.

  15. nader Says:

    Unrelated to this though, i do have a question.

    How come the vampires haven’t fed yet? They’re in a situation akin to a man who’s had to live on rations for the last few months suddenly finding himself in the middle of an all you can eat buffet with Prime Beef sirloin as the main course! It must be driving them crazy! I mean, ok, Math seems pretty level-headed, so he can probably hold out a while more, but i totally expected Val to have taken a bite out of Murdo by now. God knows she’s probably taken a fair amount of ‘other’ bodily fluids out of him already…

    Sorry, couldn’t help myself there 😀 Anyway, i’m looking forward to what’s about to happen. Hope we’ll get to see lots more vampire against zombie action! ^_^

  16. Bobby Crosby Says:

    nader: It’s been answered before several times in the comments, but no problem. For one, keep in mind that Math and Val just arrived about 15 hours ago at the school. For two, Math and Val just came from a similar group of humans after that mission failed and all the humans died, and when it looked totally lost and the zombies were breaking through the defenses, Math and Val fed very heavily on some of those humans, even taking some of their blood with them, like in that bottle of “red gatorade” that Math was drinking earlier. That was just a couple days ago, so they’re not too thirsty yet at all. The movie is about needing the humans alive for FOREVER so they can get a continual supply of blood. It’s not about them needing blood right now, because they don’t.

  17. Blackrain Says:

    mmmmm…gatorade…mmmmmmmm…very interesting story line so far…

  18. Will Says:

    I think the ‘woof’ definitely is important there. Otherwise I would think its just some dog hanging around, and not that he’s sensing something. Can dogs become zombified?

    April looks like shes definitely liking Math in bed with her too

  19. Outshined Says:

    This page has a kind of subtle, amusing humor about it in the radically different sleeping people in each panel, punctuated by the “Woof!” at the end.

  20. Feeney Says:

    Looks to me like Matheson needs the sound of a beating heart to sleep, perhaps. Just a theory. Any clarification?

  21. Bobby Crosby Says:

    Doesn’t need a beating heart, no. What he needs is to block out the horrible smell of the zombies, and being so close to the good strong smell of April’s blood, right over her heart where it’s all pumping out, is enough to block out the zombies so he can sleep. (Unfortunately that will lead to several deaths.)

  22. Vo Says:

    *woof*

    What is is girl?

    *woof*

    Is is Jimmy?

    *woof*

    Jimmy’s in the well?

    *woof*

    Jimmy just got his neck ripped open be zombies and the rose from the dead and is leading them back here to crush our skulls and drink our brain through our ears with crazy straws?

    *woof*

    Well, shit……

  23. Mewt Says:

    Vo speaks DogEse.

  24. Shannboy Says:

    Random Guy: “Well, for me it doesn’t look like Mudo’s really sleeping.”

    Bobby: “He’s definitely not sleeping.”

    DUN DUN DUNNNNN!!!! is he dead? is he DEAD?????

    or he just got drug

  25. Bobby Crosby Says:

    Um, neither. He’s having sex with Val and simply has his eyes closed at this moment. He’s supposed to be grunting.

  26. HighSchoolAddict Says:

    Well i picked up firsr blood from a friend on free comic book day and loved it, durring 2nd block the though struk me to look it up online due to my avid imagination not letting me sleep trying to put together the rest of the story on my own, lol it didnt look as good as this is so far though 🙂
    Cant wait till the next post!

  27. HighSchoolAddict Says:

    P.S.
    Any time fram to when the next page is gonna be up???

  28. HighSchoolAddict Says:

    *frame

    lol cant type

  29. Mewt Says:

    Lmfao…

    I think out of everyone here, Shannboy is the only one who even went near that particular line of thought. The rest of us merely assumed Murdo was getting lucky.

  30. OLLLie Says:

    well i think its ok for murdo to have left his post…
    BECAUSE EHS FUCKING A SUPER HOT VAMPIRE THAT
    IS OBVIOUSLY QUITE VIGOROUS BY THE THE WAY HIS FACE
    IS TWISTED OUT OF SHAPE
    high five murdo

  31. Adam Says:

    Definitely one of those impending “Oh Sh*t” moments. Awesome paneling and layout.

    Kinda wish old man Grady wasn’t so asleep. And that dog……

  32. Frauke Says:

    @Shannboy: By the way I’m a girl. 😉 German names aren’t quite easy…

    Could you please stop asking Bobby for spoilers? If you would read als the comments you’d already know what happens next…

  33. Vo Says:

    I can’t find any copies of the Last Blood Free Comic. Of the thirteen stores in my area, not one of them got enough copies to last through the first 6 hours. I had to go buy one on eBay. So sad…….

  34. Ironhead Says:

    I hate to sound like the party pooper I usually am on here, but did anyone else think that the joke with the “Woof” kind of fell flat, this whole scene just felt kind of blah to me.

  35. AD Says:

    It’s very suspenseful. I almost imagine the next page being a group of zombies swarming the school. Causing general mayhem and the like.

  36. Bobby Crosby Says:

    “I hate to sound like the party pooper I usually am on here, but did anyone else think that the joke with the ‘Woof’ kind of fell flat, this whole scene just felt kind of blah to me.”

    Joke? LOL, what the heck are you talking about? How is that a “joke”? The dog is barking because he’s looking at TONS OF ZOMBIES.

  37. kieran Says:

    i cant wait for the carnage

  38. Melia Says:

    Today is Friday isn’t it? I’m having next page withdrawal. BTW Math looks more like he is sniffing Aprils armpit not her heart. ROFL

  39. Edward Says:

    Meh. A lot of people are getting very nit picky. I’d be a little insulted if I was a writer/artist for this strip.

    I think a lot of people should really just read and refrain from making remarks about minor character movements and the like.

    But maybe I’m just irritable right now.

    Dragonhouse:
    yes, folks need to get a grip and not nit-pick. If you want to critique it feel free to do your own hard work and write and illustrate your own comic 🙂 I think the comic is very good and I don’t get confused or irritated about the scenes. They are well done. What’s so hard to understand about the dog “woofing”? Write your own damn comic however you like with your own scenes the way you like it.

    Dragonhouse:
    Yeah, I’m waiting too. Can’t wait to see what happens. I re-read the comic day issue tonight. It’s great to go back and notice all the details and events and piece them all together.

  42. Bobby Crosby Says:

    New page within 30 minutes or so probably.

  43. dragonhouse Says:

    thanks Bobby. love the new page. what can we say? you make a good comic and we’re all interested 🙂

  44. Dethro Says:

    The remark about the dog barking joke was in regards to the earlier post by Vo, if I’m correct.

    Great comic man, looking forward for when it appears in Australia.

  45. Nigel Says:

    The rifle shown in the third panel is actually an Air Arms S200T, a .177 caliber air rifle. It is also shown at about half size.

  46. Altair Says:

    Leave it to the zombies to mess up all the cuteness. (And by cuteness, I mean panel one. 🙂 )

  47. Tegu Says:

    THIS IS THE BEST PAGE SO FAR!

  48. Broommaster2000 Says:

    It’s an Airgun!

  49. Atan Says:
