    Not so good

    I have read the other reviews and I have to agree that the art is quite good. But, for 5 issues now we have seen 5 watered down stories that have had no resolutions. Each character in the comic has had almost equal time as Gwen has. The comic is called I, Zombie, yet the story revolves around 5 different characters. There are more story plots opening and not closing than during Lost's last season. Nothing is getting resolved. 
    I mean there are cliche's walks interrupted by a supposed clever take on the story, but it is not clever, but annoying. The comic is less about Gwen eating brains and making right the person's death, than it is about Were-terrier playing videogames and ghosts making picnics. I mean what exactly is going on here. 
    The hype is what is keeping this book going and for 5 issues. I have awaited some sort of resolution, but still at the end of the last page there is none. In fact the book seems to allude to taking a different direction. My wonder is which direction were we currently going. The manners-filled ghost, the Were-terrier/roommate dilemma, the mysterious and all-knowing figure, the man hunters, the vampires, or the brain eating grave-digger zombie. So far I would have to say that I am more confused and annoyed with the book than I am intrigued. I don't know about you, but I am going to trust my urges and bury this book for good. 
    And frankly what is up with the random cameos. Save your money.

On both counts let me say this is a unique series in the world of comics, and is guaranteed to be a refreshing change from just ...

            Cover The cover was kind of cool. The art was pretty artistic on it. Story Ellie is at her home and is talking to a couple hundred ghosts at the grave site.
