Set sometime during Year Two of the Zpocalypse, Z Nation: Black Summer will cover many of the events before the TV story picks up.
Z Nation: Black Summer releases early 2017.
Ahead of the start to San Diego Comic Con this year, Dynamite Entertainment, the publishing house behind Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters, Battlestar Galactica, the Army of Darkness series and many other titles, announced they will be producing a prequel comic for Syfy’s zombie show titled Z Nation: Black Summer. The show’s co-creators Craig Engler and Fred Van Lente will work together as writers on the comic series, which will expand the background on pre-existing characters.
Z Nation Season 3 debuts on the Syfy channel in the Fall of 2016.
