Besides, these aren’t undead zombies, but disease zombies, IIRC. Plus, the story in which this universe was introduced necessitated this for their big plot twist. ---

Oh, this is so cool. A couple of coworkers and I have had a running joke for a while about their love of zombies. In fact, I think you might’ve found his Christmas present. 😃 ---

In accordance with my vow of comic book poverty, I will wait until this is collected into a trade and buy it used at half cover price. In another year and a half I’ll let you know if this is any good.
