Xombie (comics)


Xombie is a series of Flash cartoons and comics produced by James Farr. Farr, who initially conceived Xombie in 1994 as an idea for a feature film, began releasing self-created animations in chapters for online audiences in 2003. In 2005, Wetsand Animation was reportedly creating an animated film based on Farr's flash cartoons. Instead, in 2009, a DVD was released under the title Xombie: Dead on Arrival, weaving the series' episodes together into a feature-length movie, while also compiling the episodes separately.
In 2007, Devil's Due Publishing released a six issue comic book sequel to Dead on Arrival titled Xombie: Reanimated.
A third part of the Xombie trilogy, titled Death Warmed Over, was planned, but cancelled.
In 2009, DreamWorks Studios planned to produce a film with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci as producers.
In March 2017, Farr began a new series on YouTube titled Xombie: Dead Ahead, which is meant to be a continuation of the series, proclaimed as "the next chapter".
