Just because it’s published on the same sized type of comic book paper and has 2 staples down the spine, but there’s no sequential art, is it really a comic book?
This Free Comic Book Day issue is actually an excerpt from the children’s book 'Zombie Kid', in which a student and his mother try to live like normal people after being stricken with the plague of the undead. The story is actually kinda original for a zombie genre that’s been done to death. Some scenes are funny, not just kids funny, but humorous for all ages.
However, I stress that though this looks like a comic book, it’s really not. Is it a gyp? Probably not, since it was given away free. However, this selection just doesn’t find the definition of a comic or a graphic novel. You can’t really call this an experimental underground comic either. And I doubt you’ll find this is at a comic book store and not in the children’s section of a Barnes & Noble, instead. Buyer Beware.
Rating: 5 out of 10 stars.
