Slaughterhouse is a self contained story arc set in the Deadworld.  Humans find themselves trapped in a world of the walking dead as a supernatural holocaust was unleashed on the Earth.  But it is not just the zombies that bring death for amongst the living, there are those who will do anything to survive. 

When a repeated message is broadcast across the airwaves, inviting people to join together at a sanctuary called Safe Haven, there seems to be some hope that humans can organize and stand against the growing dead.  However, the promise of Safe Haven reveals a much darker and sinister purpose---when victims find themselves in a medical facility which will stop at nothing to combat the zombie plague.

In an effort to combat the growing plague, researchers try a scientific approach to save mankind.  Using humans as guinea pigs, natural diseases such as leprosy, AIDS, and cancer are used to infect the zombies.  Survivors find that the greatest horror may not be the zombies but other humans.  To the unfortunate, Safe Haven becomes known as the Slaughterhouse.

Deadworld: Slaughterhouse was originally to be released as a four issue series from Desperado Publishing and the first issue shipped in early 2009.  However, due to changes in production, Desperado moved from selling comics to only books and Slaughterhouse was instead released as a graphic novel in hardcover which shipped in late January 2010.

Slaughterhouse was written by Deadworld scribe, Gary Reed, and illustrated by Sami Makkonen.  Sami also illustrated Hatter M, the graphic novel based on the best selling The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor.

Last year, Deadworld was signed by Framelight Productions as a film with Bill Mechanic, former head of Fox Studios, spearheading the production.   David Hayter, writer of the Watchmen and X-Men movies, is scripting the Deadworld story.

Deadworld is one of the longest running independent comics as over 70 issues have been released and it originally started back in the 1980's. Deadworld, along with Desperado, moves to IDW starting in April, 2010.  On the schedule for this year are three Deadworld projects.  One is Deadworld Classic featuring all of Vince Locke's artwork---a massive tome of over 530 pages.  Deadworld Omnibus will collect the last  three story arcs from Image Comics and Desperado, and there will be another all new graphic novel towards the end of the year, Deadworld: The Last Siesta. www. deadworld.info/
