IDW Publishing will release a five issue color Deadworld miniseries weekly in August.  Deadworld: War of the Dead is written by series co-creator Gary Reed with art by Sami Makkonen.  This will be the first time Deadworld material will appear in color, which IDW describes as “horrifying, skull-crushing full color.” 

The miniseries tells the story of a world taken over by undead monsters, with desperate humans trying to survive zombies conspiring against each other.

IDW has previously collected the old Deadworld material, and released an original graphic novel by Reed and Mark Bloodworth (see "'Deadworld' Publishing Plans").
