Dark Horse Book of the Dead – Book Review
EC Comics is long gone, a victim of 1950’s paranoia run amuck. Horror comics themselves went through a very long lull in the 80’s and most of the 90’s, taking a backseat to superhero and sci-fi related books. But horror comics have come back in a big way over the past...

Conveying a palpable feeling of horror in a graphic novel is not easy. You obviously don't have the advantages of other mediums such as film where you can use music and special effects to set the mood, or in a novel where the author can use unlimited descriptive...
The Hunger – Book Review
“The Hunger” was the first book I’ve read from Markosia and I think it’s pretty safe to say it won’t be my last. This quirky, amusing, and garishly violent tale of zombies, vampires, and voodoo is riotously over the top. College student Charlie Lee decides to vacation...
Dead World: Dead Killer – Book Review
Deadworld has been one of my favorite independent comics ever since it first appeared some 20 years ago for several reasons. First, while zombies are all over the place to day in films, comics, books, etc, it wasn’t the case 20 years ago when superhero comics truly...
Escape of the Living Dead – Book Review
Zombie comics seem like they are all over the place nowadays but only one of them can boast being written by the co-creator of the original Night of the Living Dead film, John Russo. That book is “Escape of the Living Dead” from Avatar Press and it’s a must have for...
Monsters: A Celebration of the Classics From Universal – Book Review

The Walking Dead Vol. 5 – Graphic Novel Review
The Walking Dead Vol. 5 "The Best Defense" continues the epic zombie saga as it collects issues 25 - 30 of the regular comic series. Volume 5 is a bit lighter than previous volumes and has a more leisurely pace to it as the survivors have been able to find safe haven...
