Lousy. The first volume was alright, but this one was like YuGiOh (or at least what I assume YuGiOh is like, only with some zombies, and people who like to introduce themselves).

Why am I reading these? ugh.

I DNF this one because I just had no real interest in it. It felt like it was vulgar in a rather forced and boring way. I was expecting something akin to Army of Darkness/ Evil Dead, which it claimed to be inspired by. Instead, I got a book where people spit their names more than a pokemon and there was very little fluidity. I really wanted to like it and I see the potential, but my biggest comfort is that I only spent $5 on this book and that that money supported my local used bookstore. Sorry if that sounds mean.
