Marvel Zombies 71 reviews Robert Kirkman
Marvel Comics, 2006
wonderfully unsettling
+ Marvel+Zombies=Excellent Read
I purchased and read Marvel Zombies 1 and 2 and I was intriguingly appalled at the behavior and condition of my childhood heros. To see them shamelessly (except for spidey) pursuing and devouring every living body in sight is profoundly disturbing, but its so riveting. I love to hate them but I ...

Lady Death: The Reckoning ( Volume 1 ) 2 reviews Brian Pulido
Chaos! Comics Inc., 1997
Entertaining
A must have for anyone with an interest in Lady Death who missed the early comics. Like most books of this type it is a collection of the first few Lady Death comic books. Great art and good story. The protagonist is not one of the good guys, but why would she have to be to make the story good?

Evil Ernie: Youth Gone Wild (Evil Ernie) 3 reviews Brian Pulido
Chaos! Comics Inc., 1997
It had to start somewhere.
+ Lady Death is awesome!
When you ignore a problem, it festers, and can end up biting you in the end, or in this case, kill. It is in b&w and tells the tale of a young man, different from others, who is abused and his cries for help ignored. He lives, dies, comes back with help for a beautiful woman (sigh!) and visits many ...

Frigid negativity

One of the most fun Nocs books out there, this complilation not only features great work from Dan Brereton (who should be revered as a god, IMHO), but lots of other amazing artists as well. Jill Thompson and Ted Naifeh especially stand out, but everyone involved did some great work. As with all ...
