Dead on arrival. Dead on arrival, #1

When the zombie apocalypse starts at Rewind Video on a slow Tuesday, Dex Calloway does what she always does: grabs her leather jacket, a VHS tape she definitely meant to return, and her best friend Malcolm Reeves. Twelve hundred miles stand between them and the only safe zone still broadcasting. All they have: a beat-up van called the Bastard, a boombox full of metal tapes, and feelings they've been avoiding for three years.
Along the way they'll pick up a grandma with a crossbow, a fearless teenage skateboarder, a furious CDC epidemiologist, and a former pro-wrestler who will not let anyone skip a meal. Together they'll discover that talking zombies are somehow less terrifying than an honest conversation, that Iron Maiden can stop a horde in its tracks, and that the apocalypse is a surprisingly good time to finally say the thing you should have said three years ago.
The world ended on a Tuesday. They're not letting that stop them.
