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 [...]

A couple of weeks ago now, the ZRC received a comment on our blog from game creator Wayne West of Spare Brains Games, who kindly offered to send us a review copy of their Zombie Cafe card game. Of course the ZRC was very pleased to take up this noble responsibility, and so last [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

Ok, this is a big one. The Zombie Rights Campaign review of Zombieland. It was a bright, pleasant day when I woke up Sunday morning, but I knew the ordeal in store. The ZRC missed seeing Zombieland last weekend due to the Dark Carnival. Zombieland, unfortunately, was the #1 movie in America last week; we [...]
