Leonardo Da Vinci was an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. So was Sir Isaac Newton. So were Imhotep and Zhang Heng and Galileo and many other geniuses throughout time. They were the first heroes to defeat Galactus and the Brood and turn Celestials back. They saved the world long before Captain America or Iron Man were ever born, but what does this mean to our heroes of today? What does this mean to Nick Fury? Do not miss this Marvel Comics masterpiece that fans will be talking about for decades to come. All the insanity is courtesy of JONATHAN HICKMAN (FANTASTIC FOUR, SECRET WARRIORS, Nightly News) and DUSTIN WEAVER (X-MEN).
Bret’s pick…”This book is written by Jonathan Hickman (Fantastic Four, Secret Warriors, and Nightly News), who is without a doubt one of the smartest and most interesting writers I have come across in some time. Hickman himself said that this is the best thing that he has ever written. For fans the “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” and books with big ideas this is a writer and concept that should not be missed.”

Gwen Dylan is a gravedigger in an eco-friendly cemetery…and a zombie detective. Once a month, she has to eat a human brain - both to keep from going all “Night of the Living Dead,” and to keep her own memories intact. As a result, Gwen’s mind is crowded with the dead person’s thoughts. And lately, she feels compelled to fulfill their final requests. Torn between a mysterious mummy and a dashing young monster-hunter, Gwen is set for adventures beyond imagination! A were-terrier, a swinging ’60s ghost and a pack of paintball blasting vampires complete the cast of I, ZOMBIE.
Written by World Fantasy Award finalist Chris Roberson (CINDERELLA: FROM FABLETOWN WITH LOVE) with art by Eisner Award-winning superstar artist Michael Allred (X-Statix, Madman), I, ZOMBIE is a monster of a tale with razor-sharp prose and powerful pop artistry.
Bret’s pick… “This is a story about a zombie detective named Gwen Dylan who has to eat a human brain once a month to keep from going “all night of the living dead”, as a result her mind becomes crowded with the memories of those consumed. When those memories become voices Gwen has to act on them. Sound good? There’s more: were-terriers, mummies, a swinging 60’s ghost, and paintball shooting vampires. Did I mention that this is written by Chris Roberson (Cinderella: From Fable town with Love) and illustrated by Michael Allred (Madman, X-Statix)? This is a new Vertigo series and the first issue is $1.00. This is a no brainer, pick it up.”
