Available now from Avatar Press is the new hardcover edition of Warren Ellis and Jacen Burrows zombie epic Blackgas, 144 pages of full color gore for $27.99. For more info on the original series, read an interview with Ellis about Blackgas, from November 2005. From the book’s description on Amazon:

A tiny little island off the East Coast of America, that sits on its own tiny little fault on the underlying tectonic plate. An odd little history ignored by almost everyone… until the night of the big storm, and the crack in the fault line, and the release of something foul from the earth’s guts, blown across the little town of Smoky Island. And the only two people on the island who were outside its reach are now trapped on a black spit of rock with a population who aren’t people anymore - they started eating each other an hour ago!

I can’t really push this comic enough, it’s really amazing and Burrow’s art is a perfect fit for this series. Definitely check out this book if you are at all a fan of zombie/ horror comics. And lastly, take a look at this “gore” variant cover from it’s original serialized run:
