The posse shoots to kill, but Ben survives. Too bad it's all downhill from here. As the tale unwinds, Chief McClelland and the posse suspect that Ben may not be telling them the whole truth. And they might be right. Good thing Ben has a hard head. If at first you don't succeed, die, die, die again.
So far this one is most direct Night of the Living Dead title. In this one we see the aftermath of what happened at the "Living Dead House", and we see the characters from the movie in this story as well.
In the comic universe, it seems that Ben doesn't get shot and killed as he did at the end of the movie. Or does he? There's a strange "ground hog day" type sequence were Ben is killed several times in several different ways, but things just restart each time he dies. I'm not sure where they are going with that, but it was cool to see the characters again.
Not a bad read, and the series that firmly plants the double take universe into the same world as the movie.
This was a comic novel about Night if the Living Dead the movie. The characters and scenes are the same but Ben doesn't seem he dies like he does in the movie. He keeps repeating different scenarios of him dying. I liked how the authors added information about life in the sixties compared to life today. It brings some history to reader. The illustrations were very good. This was a very thought of book.
This is the first of these to actually have something to do with "Night of the Living Dead". It takes place right after the end of the movie. There is a long scene in the cemetery that's directly lifted out of one of the other comics and never pays off why it's even in here. Otherwise it starts off fine but then does this Groundhog Day thing with Ben getting killed over and over that's never explained. The dead people in the basement who'd been shot in the head wake up and have their full faculties and again isn't at all explained. So while slightly better than every other one of these Double Take comics it still leaves a ton to be desired. Heaven forbid anything is explained.
This is a retelling of the film Night of The Living Dead. This series gives the story from many different perspectives and this one is through the eyes of a black character that keeps getting killed no matter what choices he makes. By the end of the volume he finds a way to avoid death in the home he is trapped in and moves to the road.
