A new team of zombies team up to take down Zomboss and destroy Neighborville themselves, but Patrice and Nate are all set to defend their hometown.

Plant pals Nate and Patrice suggest a brilliant idea: thwart any attack from the zombies by putting defending plants named 'Guard-ens' inside homes, as well as in yards! But as soon as Mr. Stubbins informs zombie leader and Pop Smarts lover Dr. Zomboss, he quickly becomes obsessed with circumventing this idea with an epically evil one of his own - building cages disguised as homes to trap all the tasty brains (and the people they reside within) before the Guard-ens can get there. The plants, Nate, Patrice, and Crazy Dave must now counter Dr. Zomboss's havoc-filled scheme!

Lawrence, the mystical Boom Boom Mushroom, appears at last! Will Crazy Dave and the kids convince him to help save Neighborville? An explosive underground battle closes our latest story arc! Also: Paul Tobin and Jacob Chabot give us a look at Zomboss's secret collection of stylish socks. This issue includes bonus stories by PopCap Games senior creative director Jeremy Vanhoozer!

"Arkayna, Zarya, Emerald, and Piper--unexpected heroes who together become epic warriors as well as the closest of friends--are drawn together by a prophecy to battle evil and protect the realm!"--
