Simon Garth
The last time we saw Simon Garth, the bank teller single-handedly stopped a gang of murderous robbers and got shot, bitten by zombies, and med-evac-ed straight into Army custody for scientific experimentation as death and the necrotic infection overtook him fast. No problem, right? Find out how Simon got out of THAT one - assuming he did - and check out his further adventures battling the undead - unless, that is, he's one of them now - in a brutal, gory, disgusting, and awesome re-imagining of one of Marvel's strangest horror heroes that could only be dreamed up by artist/co-writer Kyle Hotz (Zombie) and Eric Powell (The Goon)! Collects The Simon Garth #1-4.

This was the continuation of the first "Zombie" series from Marvel MAX. We see the zombie Simon Garth make his appearance here, although as best I can tell this series was the only time he showed up.
I enjoyed the first series a little more since it was more of a traditional zombie story, although this was close with really only the benevolent Simon Garth being an exception. The Kyle Hotz art was good and his horror work is always interesting.
Overall not bad, but Simon Garth was really more a background player than a main character.

The follow up mini-series to 2007's Zombie has excessive violence, gore up the wazoo, and a '70s Horror "hero"…what in this sentence does not appeal to you? Totally enjoyable fun for the whole family! Kyle Hotz and Dan Brown (no, not that Dan Brown) deliver an impressive read that should appeal to old and new Horror comic fans alike.

Meh....So here is the issue. Its been told before, time and time again. Its your classic zombie, held by the government, somehow gets loose and starts a new outbreak. The story is solidly told but in the end it isn't any more inventive or entertaining then Return of the Living dead from 1985. Maybe even more detrimental is that the characters range from boring to distasteful stereotypes. Oh, there are mountain guys who are deformed, they must be inbred hicks, and cannibals...and my brain doesn't care. Its cheep, its dumb, and its only purpose is to bring a level of satisfaction to the reader by seeing a stereotype they despise get hurt, mutilated and killed (this, in spite of the obvious fact that such a person doesn't even exist). Simon Garth as a character is ok, a stoic zombie protector which probably adds the only level of interest to the whole story, but ultimately isn't even the center of the story which is named after him. The artwork is fine, it fits and it is viscerally satisfying. Ultimately a resounding meh, not bad, but so many better zombie stories to experience out there.

A zombie superhero?
Besides the zombie as savior plot, the only other trick in this book is that the undead are mutating - a head shot no longer stops them. This could prove interesting in later volumes.
Oh, and the way the female character is drawn really got on my nerves. She's built like a twig, yet has these enormous melons with eternally erect nipples. Dream on, fellas. Manufactured gals like that only live to service the likes of rich men, football players, and Leonardo DiCaprio.
