Animal Planet has announce that it ’s optioned The Other Dead , the IDW comic Holy Writ about a world where a zombie virus appears that only infects ( non - human ) animals . Sure , it sounds a little goofy at first , but consider how whole screwed you ’d be if you were attacked by more than two undead squirrels at once .
Created by Joshua Ortega and Digger Mesch , The Other beat ‘s weird face might not be its zombie creature — it may be the fact that President Obama pass off to be a star , as one of the comedian ’s little group of random human survivors . As Ortega described the cast toComic Book Resources :
Into this mix is thrown our eclectic cast of characters of character : Tommy Romero , a 10 - class old cancer survivor who ’s struggling with his faith and opinion in life ; Azrael , Tommy ’s older brother and a fellow member of the Norwegian - like death metal band , Decapitated ; Justina Abelinda Cortez , Az ’s girlfriend who ’s an alien dancer and a Puerto Rican bruja / witch ; Chet Wayne , a anti-Semite ex - Army Ranger who ’s been preparing for the Revelation of Saint John the Divine for year ; and Barack Obama — yes , the actual president of the United States — who stop up in the oculus of the tempest , dealing not only with the hurricane but the zombi animal outbreak as well .
I wonder if Animal Planet will need to avoid the hassles that would get along with draw the sitting president a character in the show , or welcome the infinite amount of attention it would bring ( both good and bad ) . I hope he ’s not , because I have this fearfulness in my gist that Obama the character will be attack by a zombie elephant at some full point , and irrespective of the outcome , I honestly could n’t remain firm to watch a moment of the political savant talk about it .
