I, Zombie
Written by CHRIS ROBERSON

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.”
