The mental well-being of a rural Iowa town is about to be obliterated by a tainted water supply, and no amount of therapy can save survivors from their infected friends and neighbors. Overture Films’ new take on George Romero’s 1973 film “The Crazies” was just released February 26, 2010 and with it, a companion comic book narrative set to flesh out the tale’s horrific causes and effects. Produced by Jeff Katz of American Original and printed by Top Cow, the four-issue miniseries follows four distinct chapters featuring individual creative teams. Ivan Brandon and Jon Buran handle “Hopman Bog,” followed by Brian Reed and Hugo Petrus on “Dwyer Creek,” Marc Andreyko and Vincent Spencer on “Black Pond” and Joshua Hale Fialkov and Rashan Ekedal handling “Ogden Marsh.” Each chapter expands upon the film’s viral outbreak origins, breaking down the epidemic’s component characteristics as it infects the physical and mental capacities of the town’s human — and in some cases, animal — populace.
