Fans of Regular Show and big, muscle-bound yeti will want to check this issue out.
Plants Vs Zombies Lawnmageddon HC – Dark Horse collects the digital comics into one nifty hardcover! Zombies are invading Nate Timely’s quiet town, and he’s determined to stop them.

This very funny book brings the award-winning video game to comics readers in this original adventure. If you liked the video game, or just very silly stories, pick this book up.
