Deadworld

by Gary Reed, Gary Francis, Mark Bloodworth (Artist)

An original graphic novel set in the supernatural holocaust of Deadworld Outside of the dusty and remote town of Juarez, Mexico, new laws have replaced what was once called civilization. The old laws don't apply to the dead - the walking dead - so there had to be new ones. One of the wielders of this new law was the mysterious wanderer, Raga, who was known in the whispers swirling around the land as simply, "The Assassin." There was nothing living... or dead, that he hadn't killed. But now he had a new challenge. However, his plans get disrupted by an unexpected force - the King Zombie and his hoards of zombies You may be able to kill what's already dead, but how many times? Deadworld scribe Gary Reed hooks up with Gary Francis of Young Dracula fame to present this chilling tale, with brilliant greywash art by Mark Bloodworth (Hellraiser, The Ripper Legacy).

Reviews

[Quentin Wallace · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a good Deadworld story but not the top tier. Set in Mexico, we have a new cast of characters other than King Zombie, who was the only recurring character to show up. The black and white art is striking but a little mired at times, and the ending left a little to be desired. Still a good read for Deadworld fans.

Desconeixia el món de Deadworld i tinc que dir que ha sigut una sorpresa grata i satisfactòria perque sembla que eixe món habitualment s'entrega en fascicles però en este cas concret la història és autoconclusiva.

En quant a la història en sí afegiré que té un regust agradable a 'Abierto hasta el amanecer' barrejat amb el 'Juan solo' de Jodorowsky.
