    Very cool. I also dig the “twist” at the end, though it came off a bit a bit too ‘deux ex machina,’ which took me out of the story just a bit.

    Angelic intervention, unless the basis of which is established early on in the story, tends to do that for me.

    AWESOME SLIDE SHOW SIDESHOW!!! NOW ALL WE NEED IS A NUN AND AN ALTER BOY!!!!

    Man I love zombies and I enjoyed your fine peice of artistic work here buddy! Although I expected the priest to get his nappy grub on instead…

  5. Martin says:

    I know I’m late to the party but WOW! Great story. I’m glad I ordered this figure and now have a backstory for him.

    Great job on the slide show!

  6. Oliver says:

    Fabulous job on this! No doubt I’ll be picking up this figure now. You’ve given him a backstory I won’t soon forget.

  14. Johnny Arnett says:

    Great work as always Hylton.I’ve enjoyed all your stories I’ve seen so far and this was no exception.Nice to see 2 masters of the 1/6th art teaming up as well.Fred’s backdrops are excellent.

  15. Dana says:

    Thanks for creating this unusual and beautifully rendered story. I enjoyed reading/viewing it.

  16. M&M says:

    Impressive! Impressive! Impressive! I like the way you weaved the suspense with artistic excellence. Good vs. Evil; the age old battle with a contemporary twist. Hylton, you are truly an artist in every way. May good continue to prevail.

  17. S.E. Mayfield says:

    This is another awesome work of art. The setting, the staging, and the camera angle are great. The lighting, especially on the face of the Zombie priest, is so good you can see him thinking and breathing. This is so good it could go to print-on-paper; a graphic novel in the making.

  18. P. Gosselin says:

    This one is perticularly great Hylton.
    1. The figures are awesome! The idea of a Zombie priest is so cool. I’m not sure that he will be able to eat a lot of flesh with his damaged jaw (^-^)’
    2. But he do not want to do it as explained in your story. Such kind of original idea makes a great story. Very good final twist too!
    AND The city diorama by Fred Jeska is awesome (^-°)!

  19. barryo says:

  20. G. Trent says:

    Well done my brother. The sets and characters depicted well the intent of the story. I was even a little scared :-) . Good triumphs in the end although evil may reign for what seems to be an eternity. Keep up the good work. Let me know about the next story.

  21. antoinettte says:

    Hylton, your sci-fi storytelling is great and you exhibit a great style of uniqueness. Thanks for sharing your talents.

  22. N Weiskal says:

    You’ve reached a new level of story telling, revealing such strength of spirit. A light in a dark world.
    Thank you.

  23. T. Watkins says:

    Insurmountable evil met infinite power. Great detail in the photos, excellent composition and story-telling!

  24. Dave Mac (Silsden UK) says:
