My review is for the entire series, 1-8, and I'll post this same text for all 8 volumes. This is a solid, page-turning comic series in which Dana and Martha Cypress, two young women living in Wausau, Wisconsin, grapple with an event that changes everything forever: the recently dead come back to life. They appear to be just like before, with all their wits about them. But are they really the same? And who are those eerie, glowing beings stalking the woods? Dana, as a sheriff's deputy, has skills and grit to tackle the sinister mysteries behind the resurrections. Martha, or "Em", as she goes by, has a newfound grit of her own and a secret or two. This tightly-paced, action-packed, gore-soaked story arc is a great way to wile away some precious free time.

Well, I finished it. What a weird series.

I made it last as long as I could, but I couldn't hold back the end of the series any longer. I'll likely give it a few months and then read them all through again from the beginning. I'm waffling somewhere between 4 and 5 stars on this. Obviously, so massive events happen, wrapping up the series and tying up all those loose ends. I felt like the final showdown went a bit too fast, rushing through what should've been the biggest climax of the entire series. Or maybe it was that every page of this was part of the climax, making it all feel the same level of tension, with no time to slow down and breathe, and no build-up. Anyway, it was a great series, and I will most definitely miss the characters.
