It's already on my pull-list. Sounds equal parts gross and groovy.

The town with all the weird horror-flick denizens reminds me of my own Deadsville in GIRL ZOMBIE.

You know it, and I'm already fascinated by the supporting characters so that's totally working for me too!

I'm glad this has its own thread! Dev, check out how I pumped up Legion World for this when it was announced: Comic Book Solicitations Thread .

I give my feelings there why #1 is a must-buy for anyone with any sense of human decency.

I do remember that thread, and I thought this one deserved it's own and that should be a rotating thread. hopefully they'll be something new to post about in that one this month.

Agreed! I keep hoping to add a new solicit to it, but comic book companies really need to step their game up.

Solid first issue. I'm not totally blown away, but interested enough to stick around for a while to see how it unfolds. Love that it is set in Eugene, OR. I think Ellie will be my favorite supporting character.

Good issue for an intro to the cast and situations. I'll stick out the first arc at least.

i really liked this book, especially since it's not just zombies, i've liked allred's work for a while but didn't like that x-book he drew.

To echo all your comments, I thought it was a solid first issue. Nothing to write home to Mom about, but definitely good enough to continue for the first arc. And there is certainly potential for this to be an excellent series. The premise is good enough to keep me intrigued.

What I liked was there was a genuinely weird/creepy feeling throughout the issue that left me partially wondering what was going on but also realizing anything weird could go down at any minute. I like that feeling.

Of course, the real star was Mike Allred's artwork which is just a masterpiece on every page. He's good enough where buying his comics is something I do sometimes for his art alone. I recently purchased all the old Madman trades (thanks Kent! laugh ), and iZombie mirrors the sense of weird in Madman. Allred is really able to capture that feeling while also having attractive characters and a quirky, cartoony style.

Luh-HUUUVED it!

I've SO missed Allred's art.

I already love the ghost girl and wereterrier guy.

First Vertigo series I've collected since Codename: Knockout was cancelled.

I read the five-page preview in FABLES #94... interesting premise, and Allred looks to be on top of his game. I'm not a big Zombie fan, but based on the recs I'm seeing here I'll track down the cheapie first issue.

Can i just say, HOW SICK ALLRED'S ART IS!!!!

omg, the beginning where gwen is painting the paintings to cleverly catch up the reader on events and move the plot forward.....i LOVE the bright red dripping paint brush being waved around for three pages. it just adds a great extra atmosphere and pop art creepiness to the story.

a little later when the head vamp is lecturing panel after panel, and then in panel five she's pointing the finger at herself ....... so clever. i love it.

ooo and the sick meat cooking scene, it's like it's out of a great hitchcock movie <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">that mummy is totally the invisible man, and that tiger must be a shapeshifter. shrug </span></span>


i want this to become a tv series with mike allred directing.

oh yeah and horatio is a hottie.

Very nice second issue. I think this series is going to become a keeper. More interesting characters. More quirks for the ones we met first issue. We have a mystery. We have villain. Most of all, though, Allred is just rocking it.

I think if this series had no dialogue I'd shell out whatever cash was needed to continue--Allred's artwork is just that majestic to behold. Every page I can't help but gobble it up. I probably will give a reread before I put this away.

That being said, there is dialogue and I'm enjoying the story quite a bit too. Like Jerry says, more interesting characters & more quirks and I like all the various horror-type characters who have very human personalities.

I'm really feeling this title!

I’m enjoying the story in iZombie quite a bit; but there is no denying the absolute coolest part of the comic book is that Mike Allred artwork! Just like on Madman, it has that weird combination of being utterly weird, really retro-groovy and also really attractive to the eyes. The way Allred draws Ellie, the ghost girl, is just so damn cute!

Meanwhile, like I said, the story is really cool. With all of these monsters, it still maintains that ‘small town’ feel to it, which enhances the creepiness.

It’s hard to keep praising this series without repeating ourselves; but honestly, EVERYONE should be checking this out!

I forgot to comment on 3 (shame on me!!) but I do love the book!

I'm at the point now where I will re-read all 3 issues before I dive into issue 4 so I can absorb all the info in one sitting (and look at ALL the pretty artwork!!)

It doesn't look like anyone has yet mentioned the terrific coloring job that Laura Allred is doing on this series. It's beautiful work.
