Gwen Dylan isn't what one would normally think of when zombies come to mind. She holds down a job, sure, it's as a gravedigger but how else is she supposed to get access to brains? The brains taste awful but eating them is a small price to pay once a month to hold onto who she is and to keep her m...

Very, very different than the TV show. I'm interested to see if the show is a pseudo continuation of the end of this series... we'll see.Her name is different.Her job is different.There's other supernatural stuff going on (ie vampires, ghosts, ware-terriers).We'll see.... I'll start the next one soo...

This review was originally posted on One Curvy BloggerI picked up the first volume of iZombie from the library after I realized that the new TV show I have binge watched the last couple of weeks was loosely based on Chris Roberson’s graphic novels. Even though the show and the books are completely d...

Hmm... how do I feel about this? Well, first off I've never seen the show but a friend recommended this graphic novel so I bit. I like zombies, so why not! What's weird about this particular story though, is it's... fluffy? I think that's the right word. Zombie stories are normally dark, blood-fille...

Playful, and bursting with color, this collection has little in common with the TV adaptation other than basic concepts and the same humorous flare. Gwen the zombie is a gravedigger with a bubbly 60s ghost and a were-terrier for bestfriends. Together they pass time at the local diner, and if they fe...

Overall, I liked this graphic novel. The artwork was very well done and contained some very beautiful pieces. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters, especially Gwen and Scott. I did find that the multiple storylines and cut shots made the book seem choppy and a little confusing. Also the s...

Interesting characters, promising storyline. There was a nice mix of monsters with a twist that could lead to fun times in monster town.

Color me underwhelmed. I love the concept. A non-mindless Zombie has to keep eating brains so she doesn't become the shuffling, mindless kind. She's got a friend who's a ghost, and another who's a were-terrier (possibly the idea I enjoyed most), and works as a grave digger so she has easy access...

This is my favorite of all the graphic novels I've read so far. The art was fabulous, the storyline was funny and unique and the characters are extremely likable. Definitely a great read if you enjoy a lighter side to zombies, ghosts and other paranormal creatures. This book does a wonderful job o...

For some reason, people often assume I loooove zombies.I don't. I hate them. I think they're stupid.I'm not a fan of [b:The Walking Dead, Compendium 1|6465707|The Walking Dead, Compendium 1|Robert Kirkman|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1372552170s/6465707.jpg|6656179], I've never liked shamblers, plu...
