I give this book a 2.5 out of 5.... There was a little too much zombie fighting and not enough charcter development for me... some of the most interesting points in my opinion were left short and i wanted to read more about them..
it was not a bad book though, i probably wouldn't re-read it though.

Meh. I espected more from a book combining superheroes and zombies, especially after all those 4/5 star reviews.
Superheroes. Undead. Plenty of action and tension. Flashbacks placed in the right parts. (Why is this not on screen?)
3.5. Interesting concepts, different. I did the audio, which was a bit hard to follow with all the jumping around in time. Might have been more engaged in the paper version.
I would have enjoyed this more if it was less OH LOOK HOW SEXY SEXY SEXY ladies are. Seriously, dude. Stop talking about how much you want to fuck one of the main characters and how her hips swivel for like five seconds. Its especially gross because of course, a lot of that is from the "good dude" perspective. Oh he's so noble, but he just has to stare at lady superhero's ass every five seconds.
I couldn't put this book down. I liked it a lot.
I was concerned about starting this because I wasn't sure a book about super-heroes dealing with a zombie apocalypse could live up to my nerd-expectations, but I was extremely pleased with the way it all turned out. I loved the characters, even though they aren't totally original -- a fire-breathing Superman, a woman Batman, a woman Iron Man -- but what's original these days in super-heroes anyway? It all just works. The more unique heroes (Gorgon, the amazingly-named Zzzap, Cairax) are very interesting, and it's a treat to learn that these were characters thought up by the author when he was a kid. There are some plot holes, and some of the humans come across as generic and interchangeable, but at its most basic this book is just a blast. The final act would be right at home in any big-ticket Hollywood film. Looking forward to reading the next in the series.

(how did the leader of the Seventeens get his powers?),
I know not everyone is into zombies and I haven't read a lot of zombies book, but I thought this was a different take on zombies with the extra addition of super heros. It was an interesting and compelling read. Looking forward to the sequel.
Found this book in a bookstore while on vacation. Kind of a simple story but character development is fantastically told through flashbacks. It's a great starter to a unique world building.
