Wizard commissioned Suydam to boldy zombify something he's never zombiefied before: the DC Universe. Turns out it was a match made in, um, heaven. "I looked at this as an opportunity," says Suydam of his riff on the iconic "death of Supergirl" image. "Because there were so many characters on it, I've been working on it in pieces, kind of chipping away at it. The apple in Supergirl's mouth just seemed right. Itwas like, 'Come and get it, dinner's served!' and all the characters are just standing there waiting." With hundreds of DC superheroes looking on, this piece of artwork may well represent the crowning achievement of Suydam's ghoulishly good work.. at least until Marvel Zombies 2 begins in September!
