Remains

I do not read many Zombie comics, but I love stuff about the end of society as we know it....This was a quick read. I thought the art was pretty good. The characters were not super great. Both are hateful lowlife scumbags that personally I felt had no redeeming qualities. I was rooting for the Zombies in this one. Overall a quick read, nice color pictures. I am probably being generous with the 4 stars, but I liked the pictures (and I read it twice the first day I bought it).

This was my first zombie read in some time. I like the survivor mentality that makes the lead characters so grim and yet still able to cope with their situation. The distrust that manifests when a living gal comes upon the two living on the edge in the heart of the city. Is it rivalry that drives the former waitress (who has made it clear she has no feelings beyond the man's helping her survive) or is it something deeper? This is a good study of the survivor mentality especially regarding the jaded outlook of those who are surrounded by the undead. As for the art, I loved it! It has a scratchy quality that emphasizes the mood of the book. It's raw and red like a wound but also straight edged and a little on the minimalist side. This art reflects the story so well that it literally adds something to the narrative which is scant but also very effective. My one beef is the price of this collection which I read in it's original comic book form. Now, I'm no zombie "fan" so perhaps I'm not the expert you should trust. I'm afraid I read all kinds of genres with ever shifting focuses. I enjoyed this. That's all I can say. I found it scary, edgy and grim, and yet oddly not tooo grim.

I disagree with that other guy. I thought this comic was great. It's a fun zombie apocalypse story and the art is great. Its drawn almost like the anime movie "blood: the last vampire" with things in and out of focus. I loved it! Its as fun as Army of Darkness with zombies as gruesome as Day of the Dead.
