Fanboys Vs Zombies #3

If anyone who’s reading this has never been to a convention, turn in your geek card now! In this series from Boom, we have a group of people stuck at a convention and trapped by zombies, real zombies this time. They’re trying to survive and escape this zombie apocalypse and not fall prey to the common mistakes made by the human chum in all the movies and books they’ve seen and read. And, believe it or not, there’s drama too, one character is dealing with the fact that her ex is there as well as her rebound relationship, family issues too.

Where should I start with this? Ok, the art was spot on for what the story is about. It had just enough splats, exaggerated features and scenes that take place at every convention to carry the story with no dialogue. Each panel worked and flowed perfectly to allow the reader to know exactly where to go and fill in anything that might be missing. Now to the writing, there is so much in this that you might want to read it a few times. Just like the art, there are lines that you heard at so many conventions you’ll feel you’re there. Just minus the zombies.

I haven’t read any of the ones before this and didn’t know what to expect. But I really enjoyed the story. I’ve been to conventions in two states (geographically, mentally there’s a lot more states) and I’ve seen all sorts of fans. I’d say most of the one’s I’ve met or are friends with are represented here, whether undead or living. If you don’t see your friends when you read, you need to get out more. I need to read the first two and follow this series, you should too, in my humble opinion. I give this 4.5 caps out of 5.
