Got zombies on the brain? Well, it’s better than having them eat your brain, so that’s a plus. Zombies are a hot pop-cultural property these days. Woody Harrelson’s buddy movie Zombieland has been eating up theaters. Pride & Prejudice & Zombies brought Jane Austen back from the dead to become one of the year’s publishing phenoms.

MY REVIEW : PROS : Wonderfully detailed black-and-white illustrations by Ibraim Roberson; interesting storytelling format.

Max Brooks' silly and self-important ``historical'' zombie vignettes serve as illustrated back-stories to his popular series of expository zombie prose novels. It's a decent enough gimmick, and this graphic treatment might be entertaining and important to acolytes and fans of his other undead work. But the only redeeming feature for the unconvinced is the lithe and imaginative illustrations and vivid...
