Zombies! Ghosts! Vampires! Mummies! Were-terriers! Monster hunters! Tech support? All this and more! Writer Chris Roberson (CINDERELLA: FROM FABLETOWN WITH LOVE) and artist Michael Allred (X-Statix, Madman) continue exploring the world of Gwen Dylan, zombie detective.
Chris Roberson is the co-creator with artist Michael Allred of iZombie, the basis of the hit CW television series, and the writer of several New York Times best-selling Cinderella miniseries set in the world of Bill Willingham’s Fables. He is also the co-creator of Edison Rex with artist Dennis Culver, and the co-writer of Hellboy and the B.P.R.D, Witchfinder, Rise of the Black Flame, and other titles set in the world of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy. In addition to his numerous comics projects, Roberson has written more than a dozen novels and three dozen short stories. He lives with a teenager, two cats, and far too many books in Portland, Oregon.
Almost exactly like the first issue. The artwork is still good, the writing is still solid (that graveyard scene was really nice) and there are still those cute small references / Easter eggs, but there's still no proper story. iZOMBiE keeps introducing characters and setting to us, but somehow it feels like this comic teases us more than telling the story. I mean, it's a second issue, you can't help buy want something to actually happen. Like the first issue, this one is very nice, but you can't help but want some more from it.
And again... what I did just read? A lot of supernaturals on the same comic book and very little planing or getting the people situated on what is going on... So, zombies. Ok. Ghosts. Ok. Vamps. Ok. But... are they hiding from the world or out and about? Is this a regular occurence? I dunno, feels like it should be better presented.
