A Zombie’s New Year’s Resolution

As we warmly welcome the end of the world, here at EVERCON we are declaring our New Year’s resolutions, too. The imminent zombie apocalypse has forced us to dig deep down into the hearts and bodies of others… I mean into our hearts and bodies and give life to our own New Year’s resolutions. It looks like one zombie has already gotten started on his!

Happy 2012!
