The Waking #1 (of 4) Comic Review
Zenescope, $3.99
Writer: Raven Gregory
Pencils: Vic Drujiniu
Colours: Mark Roberts
The Waking’s is a decidedly old-fashioned horror story, a Gothic tale in which the dead are seemingly returning from the grave to exact revenge on their killers.

Victorian Undead #1 Review
Wildstorm, $2.99
Story: Ian Edginton

Death Falcon Zero vs. The Zombie Slug Lords Review
Writers: William Bitner, Daniel Boyd
Art: Brendon Fraim, Brian Fraim
