Yeah, I know that I came
in on the middle of this series. But, I got it in a grab bag and I thought it’d
make a good Halloween theme read. Boy, I wasn’t wrong about that! Here, a group
of comic book fanatics take on the undead during an outbreak at San Diego’s
ComiCon. Like other zombie works made by fans of the genre, the characters know
they rules- like if bit, keeping fighting until you start to turn, then you’re
worm food and don’t separate from the pack. Wander off and you are dead! Well,
with rule #1, somebody got bit and if it wasn’t for a 5-hour energy drink
knock-off to ward off the virus’ effects; one main character would already be
toast. (Bad news, the gang’s running out of energy shots!) And for the issue’s cliffhanger,
one of the gang went off in search of a hot dog. But, I think they’re going to
be alright, because that character is on the cover of the next issue in the
back of the book. Who Knows? Not me, because I don’t have issue 4.
I think I might like to
get the rest of this series. It was funny and clever. Not quite Shaun of the
Dead funny, but it had promise. It’s like Shaun and Clerks had a baby. A little
crude, some swears, and tons of pop culture and zombies! Good stuff.
