Crawl Space Volume 1 XXXombies v 1
Collecting Crawl Space issues #1-4, featuring a blood-drenched thriller of the pornographic undead, XXXombies!

However, when they emerge days later, they discover a zombie plague has overrun a now-quarantined Los Angeles. Eisner award nominees Tony Moore (The Walking Dead) and Kieron Dwyer (Remains), return to the zombie genre with fan-favorite writer Rick Remender (Fear Agent) to illustrate these boogie nights of the living dead.

4 Stars Boogie Nights Meets Dawn of the Dead
Best described as BOOGIE NIGHTS MEETS DAWN OF THE DEAD, the four-issue mini-series XXXOMBIES delivers on the promise of its title. It’s the summer of 1977 and a group of pornographers, sequestered away at a mansion in LA, are getting their latest skin flick in the can… blissfully unaware that an airline crash has unleashed a horrific zombie plague throughout the city. When the plague rears its ugly head in their midst all hell breaks loose as the smut peddlers and their cast of veterans and virgins fight to stay one step ahead of the zombies not to mention the mobsters looking to collect on an overdue loan to the brains of the production.
Complicating matters is the single-minded, vigilante-like pursuit of the blonde starlet’s pistol-packing, truck-driving father.
Remender and Co. don’t pull any punches with XXXOMBIES and fans of gore, smut and the walking dead will get a kick out of this fast-paced zombie yarn. There are a few moments that push the envelope waaaaaayyyy past anything that you could get away with on film and you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for the various thinly-veiled real-life characters that work their way into the story’s background.
