A fun take on the history of zombies and their spread around the world. Good addition to WWZ.

I gave the book 4 stars, but 3 1/2 would be preferable. While I enjoyed it (and the artwork is very well done), it isn't new material. Parts of the Recorded Attacks section from The Zombie Survival Guide were given the graphic novel treatment, and aside from a few minor tweeks to existing stories, there is no new content.

If you are a fan of The Zombie Survival Guide or World War Z then you'll most likely enjoy this book. But I doubt you'll be blown away by it.

Franchement bien! De courtes histoires racontant différentes attaques zombies dans le monde et dans l'histoire. Coup de coeur spécial à l'lillustrateur pour des images absolument magnifiques!! Les textes sont simples, cela demeurent un BD, mais bien pensés et certains liens avec des anecdotes et événements historiques sont forts intéressants! Une belle suprise à un prix très raisonnable (la version du livre de poche à (9,99$)).

I haven't read any of other Brook's work and honestly this was a random pick up for me. I needed a quick book to fulfill a prompt "gore" and thought this would be a perfect fit.

However, I really liked how this book was set up. It was interesting to see how a twist on history introduced zombies. It was really cool to see the different areas as well. It didn't stick to one area and I really enjoyed that. The way that it ended though definitely makes me curious about what's so special on the last story.

I would recommend this for anyone who wants a quick zombie read!

Buď to mala byť kniha s obšínerjším popisom dejinných udalostí alebo to mal byť komiks s poriadnym príbehom. Takto spolu to nestálo za veľa.
