So, with the economy what it is and prices for everything going through the roof, there just isn't much you can buy with a dollar nowadays. Maybe some artery-clogging monstrosity from a fast food joint's bargain menu or twenty minutes worth of parking time, but that's about it. Well, bargain shopper, today is your lucky day! If you have a dollar, and want to be entertained, Four Color Fantasies has just the thing! Does an awesome comic, with great art, for just one crisp (or soggy, if you must) dollar sound too good to be true? Believe it, oh sceptical reader, believe it.
iZombie #1 is the first issue of the latest mature readers series from Vertigo. You already know that the fine folks at Vertigo are renowned for bringing readers the world over heaping helpings of literary greatness on a regular basis, and this series seems set to uphold this fine tradition. Writer Chris Roberson is clearly bent on bringing a refreshing new take to the supernatural beasties of myth and lore. The series star is the adorable Gwen Dylan. She's a gravedigger by day, and a mystery-solving zombie by night. Gwen is cute as a button and a very lively lass, but to stave off the effects of, you know, being dead, she has to eat a human brain once a month. Working around graves and dead folks makes brains fairly easy to come by, but they still taste like the worst thing you can imagine eating. Oh, and eating brains inflicts the memories of the dead on Gwen, leaving her to deal with their unfinished business.
Gwen is joined by a nifty cast of other supernatural folks, including a Swinging Sixties ghost girl named Ellie, a were-terrier with a crush on her named Spot (though he prefers Scott), and some sexy vampire chicks who work at the local paintball course. Of course, there are also some mysterious dudes in town who seem to be out to do away with the undead, so the future may not be smooth sailing for Gwen and her friends.
Is all this worth the price of a mere dollar? You bet it is. But wait! There's more! This comic also features the awesome art of Michael Allred. You may remember his unique pop-art take on comics from such books as Madman and X-Statics. Allred's work always combines great story-telling with a quirky, spunky style. The world envisioned by Allred is a spectacularly groovy place, and you would be crazy not to want to visit it!
Seriously, for just one puny dollar you can have a cute zombie, a swingin' ghost, a were-terrier, and some amazing art! How could you pass up this deal? Did I mention that this book is guaranteed? That's right! If you don't love this comic, we'll give you your dollar back and you can waste it on a pack of gum or a greasy burger. Act now, because supplies are limited! Rush over to Four Color Fantasies and buy iZombie today!!
