And so we get ever-closer to a reality where our faces are grafted onto things. Things in games, things on the Internet, things in soups (someone's out there working on that one, I'm sure).

Essentially, the app lets you scan your face and drop it into the Zombie Wars comic.

In Zombie Wars, users can cast themselves and friends in a witty tale of medical science gone awry, as one of three characters - the evil Dr. Reinhart, journalist Adrian Cooper, or a criminal turned zombie. By uploading or snapping a picture with the iPad 2's front-facing camera and using the PortableYou processing system, Zombie Wars transforms regular photos into stylized images of user's faces consistent with the comic artwork.
