*Book source ~ Library Wausau, Wisconsin is ground zero for Revival Day. No one has any idea why the dead have come back to life and continued on their business like nothing happened. The county is in lockdown while the CDC checks to see if it’s contagious and Officer Dana Cypress, daughter to the...

Interesting idea - think Les Revenants meets Fargo.The execution could be better at times, but there's potential here for a really good series.

The main reason this graphic novel wasn't a complete win for me is that the story jumped around so freakin' much. I couldn't really get involved in one bit before they were moving off to something else and not all of it was interesting either. This was okay, I haven't decided if I want to pick up th...

The town of Wausau, Wisconsin is haunted by revivers, corpses coming back to life, with their memories intact. They don't eat other humans, they aren't violent, they're just a medical curiosity, a miracle, a cause for panic. They're all that rolled into one. And this is about that town, an...

In the foreward of this first volume of Revival, Jeff Lemire writes: You can only discover your favorite new comic once, so savor it. And I'm thinking, "Dude, I read Saga." What beats that, right? Well, nothing, but Revival matches it in its own way. Though it might sound like a zombie comic...

This comic made a big impression on me. The story is grabbing and certainly challenging in content for the author. It works an infinitely used idea, people returning from the dead, and a interesting idea is born. What if people return and behave just as they used to before dying? Should we be we...

Very fun & creepy, great set-up. One day in a small town in the mid-west, the dead come back to life. They're NOT ZOMBIES. They're just alive again. Well, it's complicated. And saying more would involve spoilers. But I really enjoyed it. It doesn't just rest on the set-up, it throws all kinds of int...

Revival is insane, in the best possible way that something can be insane, and I love it.The dead do come back to life, but don't let that fool you. This isn't a book about zombies - there is nothing mindless, shambling or brain-hungry about the Revivers. There is a lot going on in this first volume,...
