    One Cliche After Another

    The plot doesn't really thicken here, it just muddles further. None of the main characters are fleshed out at all, they exist as sort of an amorphous blob of victims for the events to happen to. None of the tragedy is personal, except perhaps in a short scene early on that appears intriguing, but is all but forgotten as the zombies or ghosts or whatever sweep the story.

    The family just kind of runs. They run and run and each time they think they're safe enough for now the zombies just break down the door and chase them some more. An interesting thread pops up when a zombie defies his peers to save them (for a few seconds), and then mores when he is turned into hope and devoured; but this is a plot point far too interesting and involved to get much exploration in the remaining 2 issues.

    This issue is just a jumble of horror cliches happening to a family that is literally anybody. They cannot escape, and the zombie ghosts want to use their bodies to escape or something. And then there's a gate into hell maybe. Or it's a courtroom. For something. I don't know, it's all too confusing and hard to care about.

    In Conclusion: 1.5/5

    This wasn't the worst thing ever, but it had so few redeeming qualities to balance out the homogenous blob of horror cliches and flat characters that I really found it hard to care about hardly any of it.

Then the second issue shown what happened, and then had an ending that made you want to see what happened next. This issue is no exception. Only this time we have an "OH CRAP!" ending.We get some more clues as to what is happening in the apartment. Ghosts that stayed there are trapped and need to feas...
