REVIEW SUMMARY: A wonderfully illustrated complement to your zombie library.

MY RATING:

BRIEF SYNOPSIS: A graphic-novel depicting zombie attacks throughout history.

MY REVIEW:

PROS: Wonderfully detailed black-and-white illustrations by Ibraim Roberson; interesting storytelling format.

CONS: So many historical snapshots in a 144-page books means none of them can offer any amount of depth, storytelling-wise.

BOTTOM LINE: A worthwhile (and quick) zombie read.
