Before the current "Vampire Craze" took hold with TRUE BLOOD, TWILIGHT, and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, the DEATH WALKS THE STREETS saga had been planting it's seeds within the horror world.
Based on a screenplay written in 2004 by James Zahn and Ben Brezinski, DWTS was tapped to be "the next big thing." Nominated for a SPIKE TV SCREAM AWARD for "Most Anticipated Film" in 2006 and featured in numerous publications including BUFFY/MAGAZINE, THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, INDIEWIRE, and more - the cross-genre hook of VAMPIRES. DEMONS. ZOMBIES. WEREWOLVES. THE MOB. had genre fans salivating from the start.
After the production of the film hit some all-to-common snags and "development hell", DWTS eventually found a home at THE SCREAM FACTORY, with a comic book prequel...
Now in 2010 the tale continues with new issues on the way, offering mature readers a supernatural alternative to tales that lack "bite."
DEATH WALKS THE STREETS is a genre-bending tale of good and evil that combines horror, action, and crime drama set in the fictional City of New Marshall.

Kicking off much like the pilot episode of a TV series, DEATH WALKS THE STREETS #0 thrusts readers right into the action in the City of New Marshall. Michael Labou, along with friends Danielle Dante and Malcolm McDermot officially work for IBVM Union Local 666. Unofficially, they're pawns in a much larger game controlled by an International crime syndicate known only as "the organization." When a person of interest suddenly disappears, the trio finds themselves called upon by their employer to track down the man, and bring him in for a face-to-face with local boss Dominick Savini. They soon learn that Peter Moore is being hunted by both man and beast.
Meanwhile, a political storm begins brewing, and an ancient enemy returns to walk the streets of New Marshall.
