Crossed is great if you love gore and fucked up shit. Basically it's a zombie-apocalypse idea except the zombies aren't dead and want to rape and kill everything. It's definitely not for everyone -- I personally don't know anyone else who can make it through a trade paperback. :(

There's plenty more where that came from (~100 issues and two spin-offs). Start with Garth Ennis' initial run (Crossed: Badlands 1-10). The writing goes up and down after that, but the brutality and gore are consistent throughout. There was once talk of making the series into a TV show, but I don't know what network would ever even begin to think about dreaming of making that happen.

Crossed. So fucked up I don't even like to think about it that much.
That's what I heard (he wasn't credited though, so I'm not 100% if it's true or not but I believe it)! Grab this Punisher MAX one-shot before investing in the complete collections, it's really cheap and if you like that you'll definitely like the rest of the series, it's easily the closest thing to Manhunt that Punisher MAX has to offer and by closest I mean it's pretty much a Manhunt comic, complete with a snuff film plot, graphic executions (some with pencils), and a big dude with a gimp mask who kills people. Also try to grab the the first volume of Crossed while you're at it.
Though they're not exactly 'zombies' and its a comic series, not a book, Crossed is fantastic. Volume 1 is my personal favorite and I highly recommend it.
If that floats your boat, give Ferals a shot too!
