If you cracked up at Zack, Rice, and Madison lobbing snark and snack-food at zombies, you’ll vibe with Jack Sullivan’s jokey survival tips, homemade monster-smashers, and the crew’s booby-trapped treehouse in The Last Kids on Earth. Like The Zombie Chasers, it turns the apocalypse into a playground of ridiculous set pieces—think battling giant monsters like Blarg, upgrading scooters into war machines, and celebrating every narrow escape with a punchline.
Loved how Zack and his friends sprint from one bonkers showdown to the next? Rabi, Miguel, and Joe face a full-on zombie outbreak sparked by a sketchy meatpacking plant, and the action comes fast: outfield chases, improvised gear, and wild escapes that feel like the best "run, swing, duck!" moments from The Zombie Chasers—all while keeping the jokes coming.
If the thrill for you was Zack, Rice, and Madison navigating neighborhoods turned zombie zones, The Enemy dials that up across all of London—supermarkets, schools, even Buckingham Palace—where kids band together, scavenge, and outsmart droves of infected adults. You’ll get the same edge-of-your-seat scrambles and clever tactics, just on a bigger, scarier map.
If trekking from one danger zone to another with Zack’s crew hooked you, Benny Imura’s journey beyond the safety of Mountainside will hit that sweet spot. Like in The Zombie Chasers, there’s scavenging runs, eerie highways, and close calls—plus memorable encounters that turn every outing into a mission with real stakes.
If you enjoyed the group chemistry of Zack, Rice, and Madison—each bringing different skills to every zombie mess—meet Molly Bigelow and Team Omega. In Dead City, the squad’s humor, teamwork, and clever planning fuel late-night hunts in subways and museums, echoing that same "we’ve got this—maybe" energy you loved.
