I first encountered '68 a few years ago in the Horror Book trade paperback. This mini-series ties in nicely with the one-shot, and it done by the same creative team. The basic premise of this series is this: What if the events that occurred in the 1968 film Night of the Living Dead occurred around the world? What if the dead rising was not an isolated incident but a global one? This takes place in Viet Nam, with the exception of one scene, and is a great read. I am currently in the midst of my comic book purchasing reorganization act of 2012, but I will try my damnedest to stick with this series. 

The OCD zone- Image makes top quality trade paperbacks. Nice paper, the whole bit.
