The next day, he met with Denny who tells him Amber was headed for the countryside. On Thursday, he finds Amber on a farm eating some "country hicks". They discovered that the kid who lived there was into downtempo electronica and decided to hang out in the country for a while. On Friday, they discover a collection of Coldplay albums in one of the rooms and head to go warn the neighbors, but Abraham Ford stabs him through the brain and kills Amber.
Issue 18[]
On Monday, Kevin recalls waking up, finding a plastic spaceship stuck to his face and think about going to work at the call center. He'd rather be playing Cosmic Encounter. On Tuesday, he tries to get a D&D game set up, but all zombies want to play is Operation and Pin The Lower Intestine On The Donkey. He brings beer and bucket with parts of a family in it, but the zombies drank all beer and ate the family, then left. He'd rather be playing Cosmic Encounter. On Wednesday, he finds a Cosmic Encounter box under the bed while looking for rats to eat. However, he's finding it hard to shuffle the cards and his roommate came home with his loud pals. He wishes they were playing Cosmic Encounter. On Thursday, he goes out to visit the comic shop. The "warm mouth-breathers" raided the other stores, but left the zombie comics alone. While he likes them, He'd rather be playing Cosmic Encounter. On Friday, he goes to check out the "warm mouth-breathers", finding a guy with a mullet and another with a comedy mustache, hoping they'll play Cosmic Encounter before he is killed.

Trivia[]
- Kevin is based on a real life person who won a charity auction to appear in the Comic Series as a zombie.[1]
- This is the only zombified character from The Secret Diary of a Walker to appear in more than one issue.
- Due to his brain being destroyed in his first appearance and his second appearance never being depicted in the Comic Series, it's likely his second appearance is just an alternate retelling of his first appearance.
- It's also likely that his second appearance is entirely non-canon, evident by not only him surviving, but the existence of zombie comics, which shouldn't exist in-universe.
- In both of his appearances, he is seemingly killed by Abraham Ford.
- Kevin is one of two named walkers to be the protagonist of their own story in the entire franchise.
- The other being Mr. Zombieverse, who was the protagonist of his own The Secret Diary of a Walker issue.
