Thank you to NetGalley for the arc of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead Volume 2.

This volume was (somehow) even more ridiculous than the first. And I loved every second of it.

We follow Akira somehow fluke his way through his bucket list during a zombie apocalypse, giving us plenty of laughs along the way.

Zombie sharks? Check. Sexy flight attendants? Check. Kencho getting naked and going blonde? Check. A hilariously phallic superhero costume? Yep, CHECK.

Honestly I was just grinning the whole way through this novel at the sheer stupidity and dumb luck of our boys Akira and Kencho.

I enjoyed the artwork in this volume just as much as I did the first. Super action packed with just the right amount of speech to keep the action flowing but not getting caught on giant chunks of text.

After this volume I’m now defiantly invested in the series and am looking forward to seeing Akira and Kencho bowl though Kanto in the next volume.

Volume 2 in the Zom100 series where our main character continues crossing things off his bucket list. I love that it begins with his current list. All the things he finished in Volume 1 have been crossed off. It is like this creates a little mini spoiler. You don't know when it will happen or how it will happen, but it really makes you curious to find out. For example, I cannot wait to find out how he accomplishes an outdoor concert or giving out free hugs.

I haven't even passed the table of contents and I was already calling my local comic shop to make sure that they had a copy on order for me. It is the best of so many genres. You have the horror of death and zombies, but the silly situations create the funniest pages I have seen in a long time. It has an emotional impact also.

I do not normally like zombie stories, but this one reminds me a lot of Robert Kirkman's Walking Dead. The plot is not the same, but what they have in common is making you connect with a new character almost instantly. Just like when I read and watched Walking Dead I found myself getting upset and yelling, "Man I liked them" a lot. Within a couple panels they had me caring about the fate of just about every new character. I highly recommend giving this book a chance, even if you are like me and don't like zombie stories.

Still loving it! So hilarious but still have some life lessons along the way. And I don't gravitate towards zombie stories but this one is very entertaining!
