Call of Duty: Zombies by James Blundell & Craig Houston for ActiVision
*Graphic Novel Review 
I only knew Call of Duty as a video game, but to find there are books (graphic novels by Dark Horse Comics) isn't surprising. When Doom came out, I tried to play, but I SUCKED. I can't play games unless there's a joystick and one big, red button, without sounding voyeuristic- I like to watch. But I read the stories of Doom and now, today I'm reading/reviewing Call of Duty: Zombies. But I didn't expect it to be so dorky... But in a good way! 
So this edition, the first edition in the series, is filler. It's giving a story between stories, as all comics do. This special team (operative word is TEAM) are trapped in a sort of future earth, where zombies are everywhere. The characters: Join Stuhlinger, Misty, Russman, and Marlton are trying to escape a hoard of zombies and not really doing so well. Physically or mentally.
The team is rag-tagged and on the run the entire book. One is The Tech (Marlton) is busy working drones and other devices while Misty is the sharpshooter. Then theres the two oddballs: Stuhlinger, who I believe is NOT crazy but being spoken to by either the narrator or someone from another world. Then there's the goof who speaks of himself in the third person. I don't think I like him; he's annoying. His name's Russman and I believe he is the comic relief when Misty isn't joking about.
Call of Duty: Zombies is a segment of the team's journey. It doesn't really have a point but to let you know there's a greater evil than just the carniverous, walking undead. There's someone pulling strings on the rotted meat-puppets. There's no name I"m awake of, but he may be from a previous series. Either way, I liked the comic. The pics were perfect (made that way as digital), and the dead look totally wicked! Seriously! Comics are great, but the digital ones come to life!
I'd definitely purchase more of them. If you like zombies and you're dwelling within the walls of the Call of Duty fandom, this book is graphic novel is for you! Check it out while I move on to the next read!
