2.0

Maybe I'm just getting a tad tired of people trying to come up with new ways to approach the zombie genre, but this approach didn't work well for me. It's never really explained why people get zombiefied (well, it is... sort of... but not very well), there's an odd subplot of our main character's previous casework with his partner, there's some history alluded to between characters but never really fleshed out... it felt very unfocused. The art, at times, didn't help much making it hard to tell what was going on and to grasp the emoting of characters, but at other times it was absolutely gorgeous.

If you're really hankering for a zombie-noir graphic novel, then this should do it for you, but don't get your expectations too high.
