Let me ask you something: when is the next volume out? This is one of those stories that grab your attention from the get go.  We could say it's about zombies, but also it could be about miracles.  It is a new POV on undead creatures.  Imagine a neighbor returns to the community after dying, what would you do? Sincerely I wouldn't know. After too  many Romero's movies and the seasons of The Walking Dead I have been predisposed to be a zombie exterminating machine in theory.

In this comic, people revive and seem normal, just disoriented.  Then they become confuse and aggressive. A task force is created to work these cases, where Dana one of the main characters will see how things unfold on this crisis.  Her sister Martha, will be crucial on this volume and probably will be relevant in future volumes of the story.  This volume has a surprising ending that gave me a glance to some clues about the mysteries that have been presented up to this point in the comic.

This comic made a big impression on me. The story is grabbing and certainly challenging in content for the author.  It requires ingenuity to create novelty in the zombie idea.  This author achieved this.  It works an infinitely used idea, people returning from the dead, and a interesting idea is born. What if people return and behave just as they used to before dying? Should we be welcoming? Are they a threat? The story has lots of possibilities, all in the hands of this author. I read this, already thinking about the next volume now because it is that amazing. It has amazing art to match it. Colors are really nice and the drawing style is exiting, never boring.

Reading on my tablet!
This comic is Mike Norton, Mark Englert and Jenny Frison's awesome work

I recommend this comic to all comic readers but also to those who haven't read a comic yet. This is the kind of book that surely will make you a comic reader. Thanks to Image and Netgalley for providing me this for an honest review.
