Deadworld: Restoration

Deadworld

by Gary Reed, Sami Makkonen (Illustrations)

Before there was The Walking Dead there was Deadworld. With over 100 comic issues and graphic novels released and 1,000,000 copies sold, Deadworld is considered by many to be the godfather of the modern day zombie comic. Now in full color for the first time comes Restoration - Winner of the Ghastly Award for Best Horror mini-series of 2014, Restoration reaches deeper into the series described by Talking Comics as “frightening, haunting, gloomy, grave, and delectably mystifying.” With the lepers slaughtered, the human breeding pits abandoned, and the King Zombie appearing disposed, the survivors of New Washington can continue their plan to bring the zombies under control. But Donna, the half-human/half-zombie hybrid is searching for her daughter and she’ll destroy anything and anyone in her path to find her. When the Graken, four-armed killing machines are unleashed, the zombies have a new ally, one for more vicious than the brain dead zombies. Collects Deadworld Restoration issues #1-5.

[Quentin Wallace · Rating 3 out of 5]

This volume tried to tie up some loose plotlines as well as give things a new beginning at the same time. It sort of worked, but at the same time I found parts to be confusing. The art was like the last volume, cool to look at but sometimes it was hard to tell what was going on. The story was left open ended, as the idea seems to be this could be the last volume for a while, but there is a starting place if they decide to pick the book up later. Hopefully they do as this is really the best zombie comic other there other than The Walking Dead. (And some have said they thought Deadworld was better, at least when it was at its best.)
