“Threat condition Red! Trillion-dollar deficits, machine
gun-toting soccer moms, money-hungry contractors and flesh-hungry super
soldiers lead by 200 yearsí worth of undead Presidents! Can we stop
this new national nightmare? Yes we can! It’s time to set aside our
partisan differences and petty bickering and unite behind “Ba-rot”
Obama, the one man that can bring hope to our troubled shores. When the
outgoing administrationís plan to shore up our depleted militaryís
troop numbers goes awry, Washington, D.C. becomes ground zero for
all-you-can-eat action, destruction, and some change you can believe in!“

I really enjoyed the overall look and feel of these issues. Not only
was the style consistent from panel to panel but also issue to issue.
Sure I can see if you not a fan of the anime look you might be turned
off, but I plead with you, do it for the zombies! They look amazing!
LOL! It’s not what you expect from this specific style and yet I want
more instantly. The actual people that the characters are based off of
are really nice, and funny representations too. The colors are almost
always spot on and the covers for all three are great reworks of some
classics. When all of it comes together it just works.
Story: 3.0 out of 5
Here’s where things gotta a little off track if you ask me. While from
start to finish all of the issues are strong, they contain a lot of
action and some nice interactions, it’s certain spots in the dialogue
that are just off. Not to say that what is presented is bad, just
repetitions on certain phrases can get old quick. However the story is
filled with humor and nice references to people we see on the political
scene daily. So overall the read is just a good ol’ fashioned rib
tickler!

So before you judge this book by it’s cover let me say that I did and I
was pleasantly surprised with what I got. I mean expecting what you see
on the cover to be inside is a given but the story is funny and very
entertaining. I will say that knowledge on the people involved may be
needed, I didn’t know who one of the guys were, but it still turned out
just fine. Go into this book looking to have fun and it will deliver,
plus you know you always wanted to see Obama solve the zombie crisis!
