Hooray, another issue of everyone’s favorite mainstream comics Zombie antihero, Zombie Deadpool! In this exciting installment, Zombie Deadpool, his living counterpart (and thorough nutjob) Deadpool and the ‘very hot’ Dr. Betty make their way to the AIM space station/mothership to collect Deadpool’s paycheck for a job well done retrieving the disembodied head of his zombie [...]

So, Marvel Zombies is the Lifeist menace that simply will not die. Just when the ZRC thought we would have a brief respite from Fred Van Lente et al’s crusade against the Differently Animated, another, rather thick installment in their Lifeist campaign arrived via Heavy Ink. This particular ‘Evil Evolution‘ MZ product is a one-shot [...]

Wow. I just read a comic that came from the ZRC’s Heavy Ink queue and sort of slipped under the radar. It’s a Marvel Apes crossover with Marvel Zombies, and… It’s going to take a bit to digest. Also, Pet Sematary finally arrived, delayed by the holiday. Expect lots of reviews over the next couple [...]

Oops, I’d completely forgotten to update the blog lately, though there have been plenty of 140 character or less updates on the Official ZRC Twitter. Let’s see, news… well, I think that I’ve fully recovered from the nightmare inducing Left 4 Dead demo, and so the ZRC is going to dive back in to consuming, [...]

Ahh, another fairminded and enjoyable outing with Zombie Deadpool, arriving with the mail this week. There’s not a lot to say about this series that I haven’t said before; it’s an open-minded buddy comedy featuring everyone’s chattiest disembodied Zombie head, Zombie Deadpool. In this week’s issue they have to contend with a Zombified T-Rex, Hydra [...]

Here we are again, doing the Marvel Zombies Return thing. This time we jump forward another couple of decades in the new Earth-Z universe and see this alternate world’s version of World War Hulk. Hulk smash outmoded anti-Zombie stereotypes? Unlikely.

Ahh. I kind of forgot about this one, with all the crazy Dark Carnival stuff and everything. A Wolverine pastiche comic, set up to look like it occurs in his Golden Age, the Gritty Antihero 80s? Great fun! Oh, no, wait. It’s a Marvel ZOMBIES comic, so it’ll be chock full of anti-Zombie stereotypes…. Yessir, [...]

The store will go live very soon, there are 4 more zombie comics in the ZRC’s HeavyInk subscription queue *and* several zombie movies to watch out from [...]

I apologize for the lateness of this review, but as seen in the previous post, the ZRC has been quite busy with travel plans. We shall bring the fight for Zombie Rights to the grey, damp Autumn campus of Indiana University in a mere five days. Can you feel the excitement? On to the topic [...]

In our continuing quest for a positive depiction of the undead in our media, the ZRC consumes a great deal of various entertainment products. We see movies, watch television, read novels and, yes, comics. As many of our readers are no doubt aware, there has been an enormous surge in popularity for comic books dealing [...]
