Stan Lee’s Comikaze Unleashes A Zombie Apocalypse!
Stan Lee’s Comikaze is just a few weeks away and we just received word that zombie fans will have a lot more to look forward to at this year’s convention.
The con has just added a 75k sq ft Zombie Apocalypse obstacle course. You can say that SDCC did this back in July with the AMC sponsored Walking Dead obstacle course but here are the major differences:
One, this one’s inside. The Zombie Apocalypse is conveniently located in Hall K and takes about 35 minutes to complete. That sounds a bit more intensive than the Walking Dead one, which I heard had little kids on the course. Two, there probably won’t be kids on the course. As Comikaze head Regina Carpinelli stated in her email to me, “this Zombie course is something we took very serious… We partnered with a major theme park and a company that does crazy, endurance obstacles- American Gladiator stuff.” So it’ll probably be a little more American Ninja Warrior than the walk-through course we got at SDCC.
Because of the added intensity, the Comikaze Zombie Apocalypse costs an additional $30.00. But the course is not recommended for children 12 and under so again, there won’t be any danger of tripping over a kid that has no business being there.
As the Comikaze website states, “if surviving the Zombie Apocalypse is not something you’re interested in, fans can pay between $75.00 – $150.00 to be transformed into a flesh and brain eating zombie by SFX artists. Zombies are expected to terrorize, chase, and infect the survivors to their heart’s content. Stan Lee’s Comikaze embraces all zombie culture. There will also be appearances from Norman Reedus (Daryl from Walking Dead), and Tony Moore, the original Walking Dead comic artist.”
So there you have it, zombie fans. Start lumbering towards Los Angeles from where ever you’re buried and you might just make it in time for Comikaze’s opening on Sept. 15th at the LA Convention Center!
