While the whole young woman staving off the apocalypse story has been done by Joss Whedon the Dead@17 series does a nice job of telling its version of the story. What makes this series a little above average is that things did not always go or end well for Nara and her friends. By the end of this volume things are not going well for Nara, and there is a larger mythology that does play into the story.

I recommend reading the trade Dead@17: Ultimate Edition before reading this book. If not the characters and plot will be very confusing. The story moves quickly with a wonderful cartoony art style. It really does not expand on the characters or plot and ends on a cliff hanger. This book is more like a transition or set up story for the next book. It is still an enjoyable read and recommended for Dead@17 fans.

Scantily clad undead teenage girls wielding axes and supernatural carnage. Yes I like it, but that does not mean I think it is good.
Sometimes I eat fast-food or junk-food but I don't want everyone to know, and I certainly would not recommend it to others,...

Such a disappointment after the first one.

one of the better reads in the series. finally went back to a clean un-concoluted storyline that was fun and engaging. a nice return to form after The 13th Brother.
