Zombie Walk : San Diego

07/18/2022

Hi all!

We’re popping back on to answer the question people have asked us on other social media platforms: no, there is no zombiewalk this year and yes, 2019 really was the last year.

We are eternally grateful for everyone who shared in the experience with us, and we miss y’all terribly… however, it was time for America’s Finest Undead to shamble off into the sunset, after 13 years of gathering the horde.

We hope you all have a fun, safe, and entertaining SDCC this year! If you indulge in zombie/undead cosplay and want to share pictures or see anything awesome zombie-related at SDCC you want to share, please drop us a line in the inbox!

🖤

Our love and sympathy to Robert’s family and friends. If you never had the chance to visit Comickaze and meet Robert, you missed out on something special. His passing will be felt heavily by the San Diego comics and fandom communities.

Robert Scott, owner and manager longstanding San Diego-based comic book store chain Comickaze Comics passed away yesterday. He was a comic book retailer
