” The stories of undeath continue in anthology two. These tales
of the undead, arisen to devour the living, leaving nothing but a
wasteland behind them. Yes, that is what you find here. Contained
within the pages you will be taken on a twisted ride through the end of
the world. From Kindergarten zombie hunters to the last attempt of
mankind, finally leaving off with one man’s attempt to reunite with his
family. When you reach the end you will truly come to understand our,
Dead Future.“
Artwork: 3.0 out of 5
This issue combines 3 really unique looking stories. I won’t out right
say that the artwork jumps off the pages, but I will admit that they do
a great job of depicting the stories. I really enjoyed the look that
each artist gave to the zombies. Each one was different and that is
what I want to see in an anthology.
Story: 3.5 out of 5
I don’t care what the mainstream fan has to say, I love me some zombie
stories. Each story here was really fun to read. The first story, “With
a Whimper”, had what I like to call the classic horror twist of irony.
That always makes me smile and laugh. “Kindergarten Zombies” was really
cool just on it’s topic alone, but also delivered my favorite story of
the three. “The Rest of the Story” was a typical no one wins zombie
story. All are done very well, and make for a nice collection.
Dying Breath: 3.5 out of 5
Zombies damn it! You know you love them, especially if your a collector
of horror comics. This anthology isn’t the best looking issue but
delivers on the stories. Nothing but fun to be had here, from some new
voices that should be heard. Check this book out, you know if you don’t
it will be on your BRAIN!!!
