Outstanding first volume in what will most likely be a long running series, for the characters and plot lines are set up for growth. I will definitely be reading future volumes of this series to see how the idea of loved ones reviving, which could be a dream come true for some, will be a nightmare for many.Reviews can be found on my graphic novels blog: Volume One- https://graphicnovelty2.com/2016/04/0...Volume Two- https://graphicnovelty2.com/2016/08/0...Volume Three- https://graphicnovelty2.co...

Soooo it's a zombie story...but without the zombies.Or something?Okay - it's not a zombie story. It's about dead people coming back to life in a small Wisconsin town. Don't make the same mistake that I did writing this series off because it's just another zombie story. I mean really...how many more of those do we need?No...this isn't that simple. This is rural/noir/horror at its finest. This is about fucked up people trying to come to grips with a fucked up situation. This is about heavy charact...

Wanted to like this more but there are just too many things wrong with the pacing. The transitions from scene to scene are too abrupt to allow the reader to be vested in what's going on. And when things do get interesting it gets lost in the plethora of side stories. It should never have taken 9 issues for Dana to address seeking out her sister's killer again. Also, this book was pegged as being a mystery but I didn't get that much from reading it because there wasn't enough exploration of anyon...

The good:-The gore visuals. Mike Norton does an spectacular job illustrating bloody scenes.-The tension keeps raising since issue 1.-Some of the characters, like Anthony brothers or Mr. Anders, are very interesting.-The poem of the 11# is gorgeous.The bad:-Tim Seeley has a very confusing manner of writing, but as the story moves, you start getting the grip of it.-Too many characters.-The plot it's not very original, too many clichés.

Revival brings to mind two different tv shows. One is the HBO show " The Leftovers" and the other is the Kirkman show "Outcast". The town of Wausau, Wisconsin is the epicenter of a very strange events. The dead are not staying dead. While they are not returning as zombies the fact that a deceased cancer patient, is happily strolling the hospital wards, greeting people is cause for consternation.So a full blockade of the city, a 'la Leftovers style, is causing Wausau to become a hotbed of strange...

3.5 something is missing for me... but I can't pinpoint what :(

Not a bad 'intro' storyline. I enjoyed the initial setup and I'm looking forward to reading Volume 2. Art is solid and not confusing (able to quickly ID characters and not confuse them), writing is good, (not great) and content is fun. A bit of mystery and suspense but not a huge page turner.

The premise of this graphic novel series is very cool. One day, in a small, nobody could care less about town, the dead come back to life. And we're not talking zombies here either. One day they were dead, the next they are not. I really liked the art, and the story telling is quite good. I plan on reading the rest of this series soon. A side note - not for the kiddos or faint of heart. See that cover? Nuf said.

It should be 3.5 stars because of the first half of the volume which was quite boring. That was the reason for me to stop reading it some time ago. What a complete fool I was! Yeah this comic IS GOOD. Finally there is a story with dead people who come back to life without becoming a zombie. Finally something unexpected. The art is fine and the story itself is atmospheric. First it wasn't catching at all, somehow a little bit later I found myself reading the last page. I can't imagine what to exp...

Not just another "zombie" comic. I love the diverse and unique characters. I love the art work and story which is very relevant for these times. Can't wait to read more.

(Zero spoiler review)I actually read the first three trades a few months ago, and was initially entranced by this little story. By the time I finished trade number 3, I seem to recall the series had lost that initial luster that drew me in. Regardless, I still bought the deluxe editions (as you do) and I finally got around to delving back in to see what was what in Wausau, Wisconsin. Now, I was going to skip the first three trades, seeing as how they had left a rather band taste in my mouth (or

Great artwork and punchy comic. Certainly was an interesting take on the dead coming back to life - not as zombies. The dead return with psychoses and angst right before their deaths. Some discover horrible truths about their murder, other are befallen to despicable gangs with macabre intentions. I love the idea of a heroine who can't die. You follow the story of a town forced into quarantine because of 'revivers' - the government aren't sure if they're contagious. It's a good read.

Ever since Chew introduced me to Revival, I knew I had to get my hands on this rural noir horror graphic novel. The two are quite different in style, but I'm so glad I decided to give this a shot because I think I can safely say that it's now a new favorite. While the "revivers" are technically zombies, I love how it doesn't go in more of a traditional route with them. Instead it's a very tight mystery with paranormal horror elements, but it's definitely noir at its core. It's great trying to pu...

I need a "I'm only reading this because I love the cover" bookshelf.

So far, I had no experience with Tim Seeley, but I planned to try the hack/Slash and the Revival for a long time. So I finally started at three hundreds pages of Revival. At first, I must say one thing - I unconditionally Love Jenny Frison's cover arts. they're both lifelike and aerie, beautiful in from composition to details. And it definitely outshines the work of Mike Norton and Mark Englert. Mike and Mark did a good job, I like the art/ colouring there, but it has no wow factor. It feels lik...

This was amazing! I loved the premise of people coming back to life (but not as zombies!) and seeing how this affects the town and the rest of the world. This is heavy on characters and character development which I liked. I liked how nobody was shown as perfect, everyone is just as flawed as people in real life, so I often found myself not agreeing with characters even when I was rooting for them. Not to say that there isn't any action, sometimes very gory action, which I also liked. The pacing...

Awesome! I didn't expect it to be this good! ♥️

Want something different to read? Like a little "WTF" to your reading? Tired of the over use of zombie genre but still looking for that feel? This is your book. Not safe for kids under 16 or for people with a strong Christian belief. But if none of that bothers you, happy reading.

Great subtle twist on a familiar genre. Great art!

I am obsessed.This story is fantastic, I didn't want to put it down!Between the incredible artwork, the interesting concept, and the well-written characters, I am completely captivated and I wish I bought the entire set of deluxe editions because waiting for the next one to come in the mail is going to be a pain!If you need a fresh take on epidemic & zombies stories, def pick up this book. Gore was on point for this kind of horror story, and the mystery of the supernatural is very strong.I NEED
