Two years ago, the apocalypse started for the seventh time. As the number of zombies rise, so do the ranks of influencas: professional zombie hunters who post their lives online. When Dodie and Beatriz, the accidental founders of the movement, are trapped in their bunker by a persistent horde, what else is there to do but take a romantic vacation?

Told through the lens of interviews, social media posts, and nostalgic reminiscing, Influenca is a glimpse into a day at the end of the world, past and present, and what life looks like when the apocalypse becomes predictable. Recommended for mature readers.

      The anarchic spirit of underground comix survives in Peters’s raucous, darkly funny graphic novella debut set in the post-post-apocalypse. In a world wrung out by an apparently endless string of zombie epidemics, Dora, a recent college grad, builds a career as a zombie hunter with the help of her doting girlfriend, Bea. Killing the undead is simple, but making a living from it requires a social media presence, and Dora becomes a pioneer of a new breed of online “influencas.” A typical week for the power couple includes online brand-building, freelance gigs, nighttime zombie patrols, and waiting for the weekly delivery from “the bravest mailman in the world.” Much of the breakneck story is told through social media posts (“Stuck in my bunker for a while bc there’s a horde parked on top of it”) and clippings of press coverage, with Peters’s art toggling between manga-cute and Walking Dead–gritty. The lovey-dovey couple’s chosen lifestyle of “wrestling and fighting zombies” offers plenty of opportunities for enthusiastically drawn sex and violence. It’s an irreverent, cockeyed take on survival horror sure to entertain fans of zombie anarchy, LGBTQ romance, and punk attitude.
