Ahh, Deadpool. A shining light in the darkness that is our anti-Zombie comic book industry. In this installment, Z-Pool and Deadpool finally make the trek back to Z-Pool’s home dimension, the plane of the Marvel Zombies. So how does Merc With a Mouth treat the anti-Zombie stereotypes of the original Marvel Zombieverse? Well, not very [...]

Well, I finally got around to finishing the Dead Winter archives for the ZRC. (The earlier review is located here) Sadly, there isn’t much new to report, no sudden progressive attitude on the rights of Reanimated Americans. The comic continues to take the grim, Romero-esque line of Undead Bashing that we’ve all become so familiar [...]

While it’s good to see Zombies depicted as caring, civic-minded individuals, this comic‘s use of Zombie stereotyping is still offensive. Next time perhaps we can get a Zombie protest depicted without the halting speech and compulsive human-eating? Hmm?

Holy $*#@ ladies and gentlemen, I finally got to read the latest Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth, and it was all I ever wanted. Well, in a single issue of a comic book. Continuing where the cast left off last time, Deadpool and his Zombie counterpart enter the dimensional portal in Florida and begin a [...]

While waiting for the latest issues of Deadpool to arrive, delayed due to a lifeist mole of some sort within the US Post Office (Anti-Zombie spies are everywhere), the ZRC was made aware of another zombie-themed webcomic, entitled Dead Winter. Dead Winter has a rather large archive, so I thought that I’d pause here at [...]

So I waded into the pile of Zombie media we have to review and picked up the fourth collection of Zombie Tales, entitled ‘This Bites’. Appropriate enough, on the whole. This volume has a number of acclaimed writers slumming in the field of Zombie-bashing comics, including one, Kim Krizan, who’s been nominated for an Oscar [...]

The ZRC picked up a copy of Rich Burlew’s Start of Darkness, a prequel story/book to his popular webcomic ‘The Order of the Stick‘, while on a recent trip to the local game store here in Madison to acquire the grey-green dice to play Zombie Cafe. It was an unrelated purchase at first, but upon [...]

Well, I finally got my copy of Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth #6 (stupid holiday weekend, stupid shipping). Honestly, this is a bit of a filler issue. It’s funny enough, with your zany Deadpool antics and Z-Pool continues in his wacky, but ultimately heroic, quest to return home to the Zombieverse and prevent himself from [...]

Just a quick note to show that Zombie Shirts with positive depictions of the Differently Animated are sweeping the land. The always-delightful webcomic Skin Horse has a Sunday special up featuring our own lovely heather green American Apparel garment and a ‘Lurch for the Cure’ t-shirt modeled upon a recent Skin Horse storyline item. Behold [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign has decided to embark upon an ambitious effort to bring knowledge of a more enlightened and peaceful co-existence with our Differently Animated brethren to sites that are currently, shall we say, less than completely positive in their relationship with the Undead community. We’re hoping to open up a positive dialogue, perhaps [...]
