She used to be Hollywood ’s hottest high priced call
girl. Then a bite from an undead client
changed her into something deadly different.
Now she searches for answers.
Janey Belle is the...Zombie Tramp.
One might immediately be thrown off by
the concept of a book like this. I mean,
let’s be honest, it’s a very risqué topic to write a comic about. Having read enough titles from the Danger
Zone courtesy of Action Labs, I was confident that Zombie Tramp would be
good. In the end, this confidence proved
to be right.
This is certainly outside the box for a
zombie book. Granted, there have been a
multitude of variations to the popular genre, but this is one of the most
unique I’ve seen lately. You’d think
that it would just be boobs and gore, but it seems to be leading to more. But if that’s all you’re looking to see for
whatever bizarre reason, you’ll definitely get that.
This issue features our undead lady of
the night, and a mysterious girl who can somehow communicate with her. This is quite an unusual pairing for sure,
but this story of revenge and seeking answers could be interesting. Without any back story to go off of, new
readers might find themselves lost. Even
so, with this being my initial peek to the story, it was intriguing enough to
want to read on.
The visuals within the book are a nice
blend of primarily greyscale art and color splashed in to make it pop. Even with the previously mentioned boobs and
gore present, they aren’t overdone. It’s
strange to think that you could make a zombie call girl sexy, but Mendoza pulls it off
well.
It’s no shock that this book won’t
really be up everyone’s alley. Thus far,
Danger Zone has not disappointed, and they are keeping that alive with this next
volume. Once you can get past the ideas
the title puts in your head, it’s a fun read that you should check out.
