In a world where zombies can blend in with the crowd...One day in 2045, Detective Avery Gannon stumbles upon a brutally disfigured corpse on a golf course at the heart of the young Republic of Sacramento. Eighteen years after the undead put an end to civilization, he discovers that his city, which may very well be the last bastion of hope and basic human decency left on Earth, is now being threatened from within...The undead are learning.The Pan Virus is changing, rapidly; the infected are beginning to exhibit signs of evolution, learning to trick humans into believing that they aren't carriers at all, even mimicking human speech and facial expressions. They can now insinuate themselves into a population and spread the genocidal plague before anyone even knows they've come...So begins the advent of the innocuously named but soon-to-be infamous and all-powerful Bureau of Public Health, staffed by Agents - those men and women who have been trained in a variety of disciplines, who will become the doctor-detective-soldier hybrids the Republic desperately needs if it is to have any hope of survival. And the citizens, grappling with the shifting reality of their post-apocalyptic world, will come to call these dark saviors "Bag Men".From this test will emerge heroes and villains alike. The very shape of the future of humanity (what's left of it) will be determined in the coming days... as the intertwined origins of both the Sleepers and the Bag Men are, at last, revealed.Includes a Bonus, Full-Length Story!Bag Men: Origin contains Episodes 12 and 13 of the series.
