The Zombie Handbook: How to Identify the Living Dead and Survive the Coming Zombie Apocalypse
“The Zombie Handbook is a must-have for anyone who wants to make it home alive.” —Jonathan Maberry, author of Patient Zero
A few years ago, building an acid pit and stocking skull-splitting machetes would have been seen as an overreaction to the zombie threat. No longer! To survive the coming zombie apocalypse—and it is coming—you need to know everything about zombies and how to kill them.
Thoroughly illustrated, this book is the definitive guide to zombies and all their blood-soaked traits, from feeding habits and dietary needs to sexual practices and political activities. The Zombie Handbook lays out your step-by-step plan of attack to now only survive the zombies’ assault, but to counter it and obliterate the army of the undead, including tips for:
•Zombie-proofing your home
•Setting lures and traps
•Choosing the best weapons
•Exploding their brains

Thorough treatise on the future Zombie Apocalypse. Especially useful is the section on Zombie-proofing your home in Chapter Five, "Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse."

Un libro excepcional, excelente manual de supervivencia, la calidad de los gráficos y la redacción, completamente esplendido. Fue muy entretenido de leer, el tono caricaturesco hace que no sea una lectura pesada y los referentes visuales hechos por artistas con un estilo que combina el terror y las viñetas graciosos fue PEAK. Lo leería una y mil veces, absolute cinema, ojalá no lo hubieran descontinuado. Me pone triste que mi profesor Joel, de religión y en ese tiempo tutor, del colegio privado Ricardo Palma me lo haya decomisado en 2016 por leer tremenda obra en clase, profesor si lee esto, devuelvamE el libro por favor, ya lo volví a comprar pero el mio era nunevo pipipipi :,(

Es entretenido pero falta coherencia, como la idea de protegerte con un agujero llenándolo de ácido y pirañas, ya que estás se morirían. Pero hay otras cosas acertadas. Me hubiera gustado que en todos los tipos de zombie hubiera un test para intentar identificarlos.

Bleh. Lots of gore for the sake of gore. Max Brooks's book (the one that isn't World War Z) is much better.

Entertaining graphic look at what zombies are all about. Defines the different categories of zombies, what to do to defend yourself and life with zombies.
Hilarious.
Hilarious.

Another good to have zombie book. This one tells you how to spot a zombie.

Sirve como un coleccionable, aporta información actualmente conocida y desarrolla algunos aspectos de supervivencia de forma sistematica... las probabilidades de salvación son pocas.

Very witty, if bloody. I wondered if Andrew could find a humor piece in this.

Very funny, excellent drawings (by which I mean, accurate and gross drawings).
