"Vertigo has unveiled The New Deadwardians. The eight-issue miniseries will be written by Dan Abnett alongside artist INJ Culbard, reports Graphic Content.  &amp;quot;May I just confess that this is a story that involves both zombies and vampires, two things I swore I would never write about because they had both long since jumped the shark,&amp;quot; Abnett wrote in his original pitch for the title. &amp;quot;Then this idea came to me and wouldn&amp;#039;t leave me alone. Please be tolerant of the zombie-and-vampire-ness of this until you&amp;#039;ve heard me out. It&amp;#039;s essentially a detective story set in an alternate history England, circa 1900.&amp;quot; The story is set in a post-Victorian England where the upper classes have voluntarily become vampires to escape the lower classes, who happen to be zombies. Culbard&amp;#039;s adaptation of HP Lovecraft&amp;#039;s At the Mountains of Madness was awarded the British Fantasy Award for &amp;#039;Best Graphic Novel&amp;#039; earlier in the year. The New Deadwardians will debut in March 2012. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
