Deadworld: War Of The Dead
The undead have overrun the Earth! A small outpost, remnants of a twisted scientists' scheme to defeat the plague, holds out against the army of King Zombie with their secret weapon, the Lepers -- victims of a bizarre experiment that left them with dead flesh in breathing husks that even zombies won't touch.

This picks up after Slaughterhouse and at least the continuity is staying solid. The art is both good and bad. It's good because it looks cool and reminds me of Ashley Wood and Ben Templesmith, but unfortunately at times the art just gets confusing and you can't tell what's going on. The gray coloring palette is cool though.
Still a great zombie series, similar to Walking Dead but different at the same time.

Intriguing… I read a volume that collected #1-5. There seem to be a bunch of different issues/collections out there.
The art is pretty messy so a bit distracting. The textures are lovely, though: like how Francis Bacon would paint a graphic novel. But the curled pointy witch shoes the female protag wears are very very distracting… but overall moody, jagged, dynamic, impressionistic but in a dark way.
A bit different, with intelligent zombies—and a mysterious & sinister King Zombie who commands them (who we don’t meet here)—and lepers who resulted from some misguided experiments to find a cure: dead flesh but human underneath. Called “ghosts” they are good fighters because zombies can’t sense them due to their dead flesh. There’s a Safe Haven where humans are holed up along with ghosts to survive. Rand is the ghost who leads it. Donna is a sword-wielding bad-ass possessed by a zombie spirit? Isn’t that an oxymoron? And Dan has spidey sense for zombies because King Zombie infected him somehow just by looking at him?
There’s a lot of mumbo-jumbo like that here that makes this more than straight up zombapocalypse but less than a recognizable, coherent thing. Evil spirits in people make zombies, or some of them? Jumping the life barrier? Whuh…?
So an old dude named Deake is somehow key to the outbreak & important to King Zombie. At Haven, a doc is trying to bring him out of a catatonic state to learn… how the zombie thing started? And there’s a magic book that King Zombie wants Deake to interpret for him? But Deake is only faking catatonia & doesn’t seem sane out of it so don’t know what his deal is. Donna is only alive because the zombie spirit has a daughter she wants to protect.

Not a fan of the art style...at all. It tries to be 30 days of night artstyle but you cant tell whats actually going on cuz its just blurred fucking shapes and half the time I couldnt tell the characters apart. And the story was lame as fuck, King Zombie met a huuuge lackluster end and then the book doesnt wrap up, yup you heard it folks the book just ends and they never made anymore issues of the thing cuz it was that bad. I mean the original series got canceled, so you go and reboot it just to do a shit job and get it canceled again. Bra-fucking-Vo

Decent enough but it tries to be serious while at the same time having some totally absurd elements and these two styles do not mesh in the slightest

At least this one had a real plot and moved the story along. Now that the King is Dead (once again) and there's a Queen, maybe it'll change it up a little, plot wise.
