Mini-Comics: Zombie Crisis - Dollar Bin Productions

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ZOMBIE CRISIS! Sounds scary doesn't it well this mini-comic is a quick read that has a moment of scary, a moment of shock, a moment of kicking ass and a moment of relief. Zombie Crisis is a black and white 11 page wonderfully drawn comic that really gets the message of the story across quickly. It uses all 10 of its story pages to create a mood and feel that fully explain where you are and how it feels to be in Columbia, South Carolina that kinda tragic day when the zombie came.

Written by Adam Daughhetee of the Dollar Bin podcast with editor Ted Tarver a fun horrific zombie tale is quickly told on a hot summer day in South Carolina, a day that the citizens will never forget . . .well at least they won't forget that guy that kicks ass on zombies. Andy Jewett's art is wonderful and includes a lot more detail than I have seen in the few mini-comics that have been able to acquire in my years of collecting comics.

Contact Adam at the Dollar Bin to see if you can get your hands on this awesome looking little mini-comic. 11 pages, B&W, No price on the comic.

Note: There is a drawing on the back cover of a zombie fairy and zombie godmother signed by LATTA not sure who that is but it is really cute and awesome and I would love to see more art by that person (you'll have to get a copy of Zombie Crisis to see that . . . for now).

Mini-Comics: Zombie Ween - An Up An Adam Product

Zombie Ween . . . what happens when Roger a changeling has to pick a costume for Halloween when he can be anything that he wants? Well of course he chooses to become a zombie . . . who wouldn't . . . the problem with that is well zombies aren't that smart and might not remember how to change back.

This little mini-comic is a fun and cute little zombie story for all ages and its a quick read too. I've read this little comic maybe thirty times (it only takes about a minute) and I smile every time. Zombie Ween is a comic filled with simple one panel little drawings and just a few words on each page that allow you just enough to understand what is happening. I'm not sure how available these comics are but you should try to get one by contacting Adam at his pod cast website (linked below) and I'm sure he could hook you up.

19 pages B&W by Adam Daughhetee and Duane Ballenger there is no cover price on this little gem. Adam is one of the host of the podcast The Dollar Bin and has published several mini-comics and compilation comics for his show.

AWESOME

So I got this gift card for $25.00 to Borders and I went an had hoped to find two Graphic Novels and maybe only have to pay five bucks or so but the stuff they had was either way too expensive or just wasn't what I wanted to read right now. So I kept looking at the thing I've wanted for a long time now The Walking Dead in hardcover. For some reason I have refused to buy this series unless I get the hardcovers...I think its because I love the design of the cover that repeats on book two and three with different images. Finally I decide I gotta get it it $29.99 and I have $25.00 on the card so it'll be cheap and I'll finally have it. So I get to the register and the lady ask's if I have a Borders card and I say yes (It's free and you all need to get one - they always send great coupons) and she says oh great you get to use this coupon I have sitting here and I perk up and am like wha? Coupon? Sweet! So the coupon is 40% off and now the book is $19.56 so that means I got the Walking Dead for FREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't get to read this yet but I have read the first six trade paperbacks because my co-worker and friend Heather Green loaned them to me we have this thing I buy the DMZ trades she gets The Walking Dead and we swaop for a few days.

Anyway The Walking Dead is a Zombie book that is really about the people who survive and the relationships they build with each other and has become one of my favorite comic book series of all time and is definitely among if not the best non-superhero comic I have ever read. Book One reprints issues number one thru twelve and I can hardly wait to read them again.

What is so cool about the hardcover? Well the previously mentioned cover for one great thing but the bonus section includes a six page story featuring Morgan and Duane the father and son from issue number one, a sketchbook section featuring cover ideas, a few random new drawings, head sketches, and fourteen full color, full bleed pages of cover art for issues one thru twelve and the cover for the first two trade paperbacks.

A most excellent book that I can hardly wait to read again.
