Summerville Comic Creators Travel to Cola-Con
'Undead Norm' creators will have booth at Columbia's hip-hop and comic convention this weekend.
Zombie comedy comic creators Melanie Florencio and Christine Brunson of Summerville travel this weekend to Columbia's comic convention, according to their website.
Florencio and Brunson created "Undead Norm," a twice-weekly online comic strip with a comedic look at the undead apocalypse, which includes a crazy cat.
The comic team will speak on two panels:

Here's how the publication summed up "Undead Norm":

Undead Norm is pretty far removed from the traditional superhero comic, though. There is no villain, no buxom damsel, and no musclebound übermensch to save the day. The closest thing to a hero is Hunter, a jort-wearing doofus with a beer gut, or perhaps Desdemona, a dry-witted realist who somehow gets her hands on a medieval-style mace.
The duo have planned a Summerville convention in 2013. Storm-Con will be July 13-14 at Holiday Inn Express.
