iZombie Volume 1: Dead to the World Written by: Chris Roberson, Illustrated by: Michael Allred
iZombie is a unique take on the undead in comic format and now that Volume 1 is out I suggest picking it up if the story sounds even half interesting as it’s one that’s really worth picking up!
Told from a female zombie’s perspective, this smart, witty detective series mixes urban fantasy and romantic dramedy.
Gwendolyn “Gwen†Dylan is a 20-something gravedigger in an eco-friendly cemetery. Once a month she must eat a human brain to keep from losing her memories, but in the process she becomes consumed with the thoughts and personality of the dead person – until she eats her next brain. She sets out to fulfi ll the dead person’s last request, solve a crime or right a wrong.
Our zombie girl detective is joined by a radical supporting cast: her best friend Eleanor, who happens to be a swinging ’60s ghost, a posse of paintball blasting vampires, a smitten were-dog and a hot but demented mummy.

I got this at Planet Comicon here in Kansas City a couple weeks ago and can’t wait to read it.
It’s a.. pretty original take on zombies!
