Review: Zombies Calling
So, I went to a book signing yesterday. You probably already know who Faith Hicks is from the venerable (by webcomic standards) Demonology 101. Her debut graphic novel is less a zombie story than a meta zombie story, so if you spend a lot of time thinking about zombies it will be your bag. I do that, waste time thinking about zombies.
Anyway, the important parts, there’s clever dialogue, asskicking, and the story skips along effortlessly when it needs to without getting mired in details or labourious fight scenes. The books reads a lot like Max Brooks’ zombie stuff, only without his eerie humourless affect. It’s exactly what it needs to be.
I’m looking forward to seeing what Faith comes up with next and you should be too. I’d try to explain why she wrote “Wolf Blitzer!” while she was defiling my book, but it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. It was funny at the time, but you had to be there.
