"In
the not too far future, zombies rule the earth! Humans who survived the
"zombie war" are forced to find ways to keep themselves entertained.
Meet Chad, a twenty-something survivor whose previous job was
photography. After photographing his girlfriend-turned-zombie, he then
starts to lure in more zombified women, thus creating..."Hot Zombie
Chicks"!"
I almost feel it is hard to try and give a description on these two
issues. I will say that I am reviewing #1 and #2 at the same time
because I felt there was not enough content in issue #1 by itself. That
being said both books are very good. I would say they are more of a
narrative art book than a comic though. The story is enough to explain
what is going on but mostly what you find in the issues are nice
spreads of Hot Zombie Chicks.
Artwork: 3.8 out of 5
The artwork to me ranged from great to just okay. Some pages are just
amazing looking. While others I felt were kind of jumbled together.
Overall though the books work well to showcase Mike's artwork. The
actual comic panels however are all very well done. I think that they a
clear cut and help to explain the idea behind the spreads. Overall a
nice job on both books.
Story: 3.8 out of 5
With the story to me just being the backdrop of the books, I think they
work well. With issue #1 there is a nice description as to how the idea
came about. Then at the end a terribly frightful ending. Issue #2 is
along the same lines. A nice explanation to move the story into the
spreads, followed by a funny twist at the end.
Dying Breath: 3.8 out of 5
While I don't think that one section, spreads vs. comic style, stood
out more I think that both worked very well to achieve two nice books.
While I did read both together and it helped me make more sense of
them, I think that if you know what you looking at you will get what
the creator is after. A nice light tone to show off some very cool
artwork. Some of these pages should be made into posters. Just very
cool stuff all around.
