This is the first comic in the rebooted timeline which also acts as a button for the end of the legacy timeline.
There are differences to characters and the events of the comic didn't happen so we're starting from a blank slate... so we're not burdened by a decade plus of continuity.
As you see, instead of starting the comic as a zombie, like in the legacy timeline, George is still alive in the new comic. This is the original idea I had for ZR back in the Summer of 2009. John would be living with his friend George and events would occur and we'd have a "Zombie Roomie" instead of at some point before the comic a zombie moved in.
There are several changes to what the original idea was though as I didn't have most of the cast, other than the monster squad, created... so it's not like I'm just doing the old idea.... This is a version of the comic that I have wished I had been able to do for awhile.
I'm also changing up looks for several members of the cast. Skin tones, hair-dos, and some things like tattoos are changing to better reflect my artistic growth and character design. It's stuff that I wanted to change but didn't really want to go back through the archive to adjust older comics... Having the comic reboot was a good time to get things leveled up, in my opinion.
