July 21, 2022 Some classic zombie films have started straight out with action scenes (Night Of The Living Dead, 28 Days Later, for example). Here's the threat, right in your face, and off we go. The good ones maintain that edge-of-your-seat pace throughout, never mind the details - - we'll get to the why's and how's later or not at all, maybe just hint at the causes.
DAMNED CURSED CHILDREN starts out exactly like that, as if we just walked into the movie twenty minutes after it began. However, it's harder to maintain that pace in a comic compared to film. Give the creative team credit - - they certainly tried. But, after five issues of chase and evasion, escape and flight, chase and evasion, escape and flight, on and on - - it gets to be a bit much.
As much as we learn about the group of characters thrown together by circumstances, it's difficult to empathize with any of them- especially since a few are real shits. Naturally, they don't all make it to the last page. There is a resolution of sorts, as the remaining survivors hear a bit of news on the car radio. But it's too vague.
I would have liked some explanation. Why are only children affected? What caused this? Instead we get five issues of chase and evasion. The saving grace is the intriguing black-and-white art, which recalls the glory days of EC Comics, Creepy and Eerie magazines. Worth a look, but don't expect too much. Pure escapist entertainment.

Dumb fun. The new take on the zombie craic’s novelty wore off within five pages and there is nothing new our particularly brilliant thereafter. Lack of actual writing but art is decent
