I have totally changed my tune on this series. It's absolutely great. Scooby-Doo meets The Munsters meets Mod Squad. I dunno, or something. It's freakin' lush and adorbs, is what it is. Kay.
4 StarsReview:I liked the same things about this one as I liked about the previous volumes---great characters, fun supernatural stuff, gorgeous art. This one also had more story, like the last volume. The twists were good too. It was a fun read. And I was cracking up so much when Amon was going off on this whole passionate speech about skee ball. It was such a random, unexpected thing for anyone to be so passionate about, let alone a many-thousand-year-old, snazzily-dressing, brandy/whiskey-drin...
This was fun but not as entertaining as the previous issues, it felt dragged at times and that's saying something since graphic novels are usually super fast-paced.
Another book in the series completed. I liked the story but I didn't like how it jumped from person to person, I didn't get to read much about one person before jumping to the next and was very back and forth. Again I have to shut off the tv series as it's nothing like it but as a comic series I like it. Alot more action and monster killing in this one so I got more out of this than the previous ones.
Yay! This book had SO much more action than the last volume. All the backstories are starting to come into play, and everyone's paths are starting to cross. The Dead Presidents made so much more sense now that they are also in Oregon. I am totally digging this series!
I enjoy the variety of monsters and other supernatural creatures in this series. The art is fantastic! The story is definitely simple, but I still love the characters. The first one was still the best for me. I wish as they've continued that they would have kept up with Gwen solving mysteries by eating the brains of the dead. I still love it though! It's a simple love. But still love!
After a previous volume that was light on plot, here we start to get into the thick of things. Zombies are invading Eugene, Oregon, secret societies--including a government-affiliated monster team led by Abraham Lincoln--are fighting each other as they try to save the city, and some sort of ageless necromancer is working to bring a cosmic horror into our dimension.So plotting isn't a problem. And writer Chris Roberson keeps the gag level suitably high, even as artist Mike Allred captures all the...
Looks like things are finally coming together. It took the introduction of yet another category of oddly supernatural people to get the ball rolling. I'm not quite sold on the Dead Presidents yet, though they are appealingly weird enough to fit in with the rest of the cast. But there's only one more volume after this, and I'm getting concerned about how all of these many, many plot threads will get wrapped up.
Okay, so kind of scared to see how rushed and less good than this and the previous two that #4 will be. It's kind of inevitable, at least in my opinion. I mean with this many dangling plot threads, what else could possibly happen?I really enjoyed the twist with Amon and Gwen's memories, etc. Also, WTF was up with Gavin in that one scene? Still not quite sure what happened... Spot cornered by zombies (who now apparently overrun the tunnels underneath Gwen's cemetary), saved by Gwen and Horatio, o...
I'm thinking that description up there is a bit misleading, yes the details are right in theory for iZombie: Six Feet Under and Rising by Chris Roberson and illustrated by Michael Allred, but I still don't feel like Gwen is really "detective" material. Yes, she finds herself caught up in thick plots and tries to help the spirits attached to the brains she's been eating finish their unfinished business so they can move on, but she's not like Liv from the TV show! In this set of comics we have Amo...
"You see, Eugene, (OR), is special…" Apparently, in a similar way that Sunnydale was. I think this comic is emulating Buffy the Vampire Slayer.There are zombies, (every issue), a mummy (every issue), ghosts (every issue), were-dogs and werewolves (dogs in every issue, wolves,- almost every issue), and more monsters each time! There's even a government organization, V.E.I.L., of dead presidents! Protecting our country, of course, and another organization of monster hunters, The Fossor Corporation...
Okay, i am HOOKED!!! VOL. 4 here i come ♡
Not sure what to think of this one. I enjoyed the gentle pace and small town setting of the first two volumes, but suddenly there are warring secret government agencies, a Russian zombie carrying a mad scientist's brain in a jar, a ghostly superhero possessing the body of a main character, side trips to Rio and a zombie apocalypse to boot. It feels like too much, too soon. Still lots of fun though.
Another great instalment in the I-Zombie franchise!Am hoping the final book will reveal how Gwen died!!!
This collected volume of iZombie issues kicked things up a notch. There is a whole lot of back story on the characters we know as well as a whole bunch of new characters introduced. If you have liked the series so far, you should continue to enjoy it with this volume.Another great thing about this series is how wildly creative it is. It continues to impress with storylines that include just about every classic monster you know and love. Including a variety means that, even though "zombie" is in
Okay, I'm on a roll with these comic books. LOL. But seriously, this story is SO COOL. Just when you think you know where things are going, it takes an unexpected turn. Love that!Everything is going well for Gwen and Horatio. Then it isn't. I mean, there are so many things happening at once, and a bunch of secrets are coming out that could turn the world upside down. Amon is keeping more secrets than suspected. Ellie is quite the detective. Scott is starting to realise something about himself. A...
iZombie seriously ups its game in Volume three. Falling and Rising are amazing books, and the Dead Presidents are must read. There was so much going on in these issues that I had to basically read everything twice, and I loved every minute of it. Things are going much deeper than I anticipated, and I'm really excited for the final volume.
3.5 starsAlso reviewed for Addicted2HeroinesI'm still enjoying this, but the new car smell is starting to wear off just a bit.However, since there's a possible tv show pending for iZombie, I'm interested in seeing how the comics play out.'Cause nothing is more irritating than that person who continually says, "But that's not how it was in the boooook...". My husband finds it exceptionally annoying. So, naturally, I must be that person.It's the little things that keep a marriage spicy!I will say
The fun, humourous, offbeat series continues! Different plotlines evolve and converge, revelations abound, mysteries deepen and the new characters - The Dead Presidents - are a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to the series' conclusion in iZombie, Vol. 4: Repossession, and I can't wait to see how everything works out for the different characters, the good ones and the bad.
Totally different from the TV show but good!
