Synopsis: “Poop Dogs, Hitler Chickens and Monster Trucks or How I Stopped Wearing Pants and Learned to Love the Zombie.” The collected first seven issues of this webcomic series! (www.livingwithzombies.net). The story of two friends as their greatest wish comes true: The Zombie Apocalypse has arrived, but does that mean they’re the only humans left? This look at zombie/survival stories holds a refreshing twist of humor on every page as Chris’ and Matt’s greatest dreams come true from page to page.

Opinion: As a fan of zombie survival, I absolutely love the grim, dirty, disgusting world that generally is a post-apocalyptic, corpse filled planet. My only general complaint during these stories is that the characters become so horribly cliched from tale to tale that for the most part I thought I had seen every story that could ever be written with zombies as the central push. Living with Zombies changed my opinion. It presents a more humorous view of the zombie survival artform. Written by and starring Matt Billman and Chris Herndon, these two have been awaiting the apocalypse for quite a while, and it shows as from page one to one ninety two the madcap adventure doesn’t cease. It also presents an interesting view of the higher powers during the resultant escapades, as the Devil himself becomes interested in how Billman can commit murder without committing any actual sins.

If you’re growing tired of the word zombie and anything to do with it, or conversely absolutely love (and are waiting for like I am) the idea of an impending zombie apocalypse; then you should definitely pick up this book. At roughly fifteen dollars, the value far exceeds the cost of the book. The only downside? Since they self-publish, you can only snag the book from their site now, so head over there if you want to pick one up.
