Totally fun science-fiction satire like only 2000ad can provide. The hero is a half-human, half-zombie, with good manners and a childlike demeanor. The bad guys? Parodies of Russell Brand, Simon Cowell, Walt Disney, the Rat Pack, YouTube obsessed teens, sentient zombified bees (yes, ZOM-BEE)!

Definitely worth a read, but it's a bit gruesome. If you want a fresh take on zombies and solid science fiction, go for it.

Oh. My. Gosh. A zombie superhero fighting a planet designed to kill everything and the cryogenically frozen-but-now-undead head of Not-Walt-Disney? Sign me up.

Absolutely top-notch stuff from AL Ewing and Henry Flint.

These two pair beautifully on a satirical carousel that pokes fun at sci-fi, reality TV, heist flicks, zombie fiction, the Rat Pack...

This mish-mash somehow makes sense, and the jokes are so deliriously delivered that the pages just seem to tear past as you're reading.

This was a total delight and a welcome surprise.

Hilarious, sci-fi horror satire. Easily one of the best comics I’ve read in decades. With its anarchic wit and graphic violence Zombo harkens back to the very best of 2000ad in the 80’s/90’s. Pure fun, filled with quick fire gags and jabs at modern culture amid plenty of action. I’d love to see him let loose upon Mega-City One

Really cool comic which reminded me the joy of reading Lobo. Well written plot, jokes and mad characters. The artwork is equally fine. I just wish the story to continue, so the characters could evolve.

With some of the most off the wall humor I have ever had the pleasure of reading and a gore filled art style., Zombo surprised me through the entire read.

Was a while ago that I read this and it was rather weird.

Is this actually how bees work?


I don't have a clue but I do know I like the over the top & irreverent humor.







Also, trust your government.

Oh, so funny, so grim and so violent, but most of all, funny! Mr. Ewing bounced in one flash to my short list of writers to follow. Art by Henry Flint, one of my favourite 2000AD artists.
So why not give this five stars? Simply because of the latter part of the book. My wee heart is filled with rage everytime there is singing in a comic. I hate the rhyming that is supposed to be oh-so funny.

[Doctor Action · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really a 3.5 but starts so well that I've gone for the four star treatment. The well-mannered Zombo is completely hilarious and the various supporting characters entertaining too. Some of the later "satire" and settings feel a bit tired and ill-judged but there's some genuinely fresh, funny stuff here.

I liked this one slightly more than the second book. But it still doesn't really work for me. Zombo is an okay character, but the neither the violence nor the pop culture satire really push my buttons.

[Colin Parfitt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nobody would be able to do a story of a gentleman zombie superhero like 2000AD. Nonsense, but fun nonsense.

[Tony · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gory, horrific and hilarious. Zombo is one of the best creations in modern 2000 AD.
