Year Zero #5

by Benjamin Percy, Kaare Andrews (Cover Art), Ramon Rosanas (Artist)

Benjamin Percy (Wolverine) and Ramon Rosanas (Star Age of Resistance) present an epic tale that offers a global look at the Zombie Apocalypse. A Japanese hitman, a Mexican street urchin, an Afghan military aide, a Polar research scientist, a midwestern American survivalist – five survivors of a horrific global epidemic who must draw upon their unique skills and deepest instincts to navigate a world of shambling dead. Year Zero wrestles with the weighty moral and theological questions posed by the pandemic and investigates its cause and possible cure.

[Matt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun. Nothing too crazy. My favorite parts were the altenative history with zombies.

final aberto

Não houve, de verdade, um “antidoto” dos zumbis.

O que teve foi, somente, um final individual de cada personagem, buscando vingança ou superando os próprios medos.

Esperava mais neste último volume!

Talvez um final que sugerisse um possível recomeço para a humanidade.

Além disso, o final da história deu a entender que Jesus Cristo seria um zumbi, devido à sua ressurreição, o que achei bastante ousado!

Having not read the first four issues, I was lost. I will save any rating for the trade, if I ever get my hands on it.
