ever since I picked up the original 30 Days of Night I have become a huge fan of anything Steve Niles writes and this is no exception.
What could be different about a zombie story line? how about when the zombies don't want top harm humans, they only want to live in peace and obscurity until one of their kind becomes different and begins to eat flesh in an effort to stave off his decomposition a little longer.
great artwork and wonderful story telling kept me from putting this down until it was finished.

The story was totally my thing when it comes to mini-series comics but the art, sadly, was not. The wonderfully named Hector Casanova fills his panels with painting-like art that may be pleasing to some but for me it's too busy and difficult to make some things out. The script by Steve Niles, though, is great. A police procedural of a brutal crime with a supernatural bad guy and with only four issues (100 pages-ish total) it doesn't out-stay it's welcome.
