3.5 Stars. A more than solid start to a series with a lot of potential. Really digging the art and ancient cultural and mythological references. Being set in my backyard is pretty darn nifty as well.

Great art. The story and characters are OK. Sometimes it seems like the writing is trying to hard to be hipster or kitsch. Overall worth the read if you enjoy interesting twists on classic horror characters. This is a very slow character driven story so if you like you comics to be page turners this may not be for you.

This was good, I loved the artwork in it, but the dozens of different myths and characters lost me at times.

I was very happy that I knew going in that the show is completely different from the comic, but somehow I didn't expect "completely different" to be… so different. Literally the only thing that is the same between the two is that there is a girl who is a zombie and when she eats brains she temporarily gets the memories of the person whose brains she ate. That's it.

Gwen is a zombie. And a gravedigger. I know, a zombie gravedigger, who'd of thunk? She survives by feasting on the brains of the corpses she buries. She's also friends with a ghost from the 1960s and a were-terrier. Oh, and sometimes she tries to solve crimes. Pretty much the only thing linking the show with the comics is the fact that Gwen gains the dead person's memories after eating their brain. The cast of characters is completely different. The situation is completely different. That's not to say there isn't plenty to enjoy in the comics, but don't go in expecting your faves from the TV show. I like that there are more than just zombies in the comics, plus a little mythology to help explain how zombies (and other boogeymen) came to be. Like the show, it's a fresh (at least to me) take on the whole zombie thing and I like that.

I love the iZombie TV show and while this wasn't much like the show at all, it was still a lot of fun. For a zombie story there wasn't a whole lot of guts and gore which was refreshing. Gwen was a really likable narrator. And I liked the fact that there were other types of supernaturals too. It's a fun and, this is gonna sound so weird, kind of a cutesy read. I'm definitely interested in checking out what happens next.

Torn between 3.5 and 4 stars. The first half/two-thirds were quite slow and it was hard to stay motivated. Once everyone was introduced and everything was established however, things got much more exciting. Looking forward to seeing where this one goes in Volume 2.
Definitely A+ for art though. Mike Allred is a pro.

It is an interesting little world that Roberson is building, and the characters are fun. Light-hearted, a bit juvenile in style, but overall quite enjoyable. I very much like the art, and hope the story gains momentum as it goes.
