Double Take (2T), the new comic imprint from Grand Theft Auto and Bioshock publisher Take Two Interactive (run by former Marvel COO Bill Jemas, see "Former Marvel COO Jemas Back in Comics"), will release ten #1 issues tied to the theme Ultimate Night of the Living Dead on September 16. Each of the ten series is written by different storytellers, many of whom have been featured on the popular syndicated NPR radio show The Moth Radio Hour. 

Each series takes place in a shared world based on George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, which is in the public domain.  “Originally, we were thinking of trickling out a couple series of every month or so, building up our roster over time,” said 2T General Manager Bill Jemas. “Now we’re planning to launch our new universe in one big bang.” The ten series are: Rise, Home, Z-Men, Honor, Lab, Spring, Remote, Medic, Dedication, and Soul.

The Moth is a non-profit group dedicated to the craft of live storytelling, and it holds live open mic events, called StorySLAMs, which invite participants (including prominent writers and cultural personalities) to tell live stories from a first-person perspective based on a theme chosen for the night.  Winners of the storytelling competition compete in GrandSLAMs, held two or three times a year. The Moth Story Hour collects the best of these stories for weekly broadcast, and a popular podcast collects more. The collective released the book The Moth: 50 True Stories in 2013.  Of the ten writers, six (Aaron Wolfe, Brad Lawrence, Brian Finkelstein, Jessica Lee Williamson, Matthew Dicks, and Peter Aguero) have credits as storytellers and/or hosts for The Moth.

Each issue carries an MSRP of $2.50 for the 32-page first issue. 2T will be offering all 10 #1 issues as part of a discounted “Super Pack,” which can be preordered as part of a Kickstarter campaign which runs through Sunday, July 5, or via Diamond Previews. There are also several retailer levels available on the Kickstarter.
