And Then I Read: G.I. ZOMBIE 2

Regular zombies bore me, but this one is no mindless brain-eater, he’s a smart covert operative who happens to be dead. We don’t know much about that yet. I’m enjoying his current operation, shared with a decidedly NOT dead female partner, Carmen. The two are infiltrating a group of militants in a rural U.S. location who are not only involved with dangerous weapons like missiles, but in germ warfare materials. I haven’t read much by writers Palmiotti and Gray, but I like this so far. It has “Mission Impossible” plotting and tension with supernatural overtones. The art by Scott Hampton is as excellent as always, and I’ve just realized he’s coloring as well. The style is watercolor over gray tones, and it serves the story nicely. Looking forward to more.
