George A. Romero has long been considered the Godfather of the modern Zombie, but what does this mean for new blood like Robert Kirkman? Any true Zombiphile will tell you that George A. Romero has always been admired as the one man responsible for bringing the modern Zombie to mainstream entertainment. Who wouldn't respect the guy who brought us "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead" along with a huge resume of other "...of the Dead" titles? The man merged a social commantary about consumerism and our deepest fears of our loved ones returning from the … [Read more...]
Brain Food: March’s Comic Madness!
Doctor Curdle and Squee are still on their extended vacation, so we’ve pulled a letter from the Dear Scabby mailbag to tide you over: Dear Scabby: There are a bunch of Squee fans out here, and we’ve even formed an online community called Squee-da-lee-dee-lightful! I know that last March you attempted to impregnate a leprechaun with Squee’s eggs…and there wasn’t much talk about it afterwards. Are there any little green replicants of everyone’s favorite assistant out there? And, more importantly, would any of them be for sale to the right home? –Hopeful … [Read more...]
Army of Dorkness: Elliott Serrano Gives ZZN the Scoop About the New AOD Comic
You think you know the whole story, right? The “Evil Dead” in question are just a bunch of pesky Candarian Demons with a thing for the Three Stooges, Ash is our bumbling savior, and catch phrases are in abundance... Think again. In the new Army of Darkness comic from Dynamite Entertainment, we are re-introduced to this world. Ashley K. Williams (no, that’s not a mis-typed initial) doesn’t have the legendary boomstick (in more ways than one). The demons are less from the woods than…elsewhere. And this version’s hero is more calculating than slapstick. But … [Read more...]
Zombie Pull Box: Week of February 8 – Featuring Living Corpse: Exhumed #6
>Bam-Bam-Bam< “Let me in, ya freaks!” “Doctor Curdle, I’m scared! Mr. Living Corpse is very angry with me.” “You think, Squee? I’m pretty sure he said he’d kill us both if he ever saw us again. All you had to do was stay off his radar, but noooo…” “Ah, you mean like how you made frenemies with the Permuted Press people and tried to turn Seattle into zombietown?” “Touché, my little friend. And all YOU did was zombify the mailman to make a new undead buddy. It wasn’t your fault he ran away and starting eating all the … [Read more...]
Brain Food: February’s Fabulous Furry Freak Books
“Doc? Squee? It’s just us, we…whoa. Why is Squee dressed up like a giant flippin’ squirrel? You guys aren’t into some freaky furry role-playing, right?!” “See, master – I told you I am looking like a squirrel. Jenny, he said this is chinchilla costume.” “Which makes more sense because…?” “Listen, munchkins – if this Punxsutawney Phil rodent thinks he’s the only one who can make predictions, he’s out of his tiny little mind. I introduce to you: Croatoan Squee, the Chinchilla of Doom!” >snicker< “Okay, Doc – … [Read more...]
Zombie Pull Box: Week of January 25 – Featuring The Walking Dead #93
“Welcome to the crypt, kiddies – come on in!” “Wow, that’s a sweet new flatscreen Doc! What is that, a 52-inch screen? I bet the picture on this thing is pretty darn…” “Wait, don’t turn that on!” “Ummm, why is there a giant arm reaching out of the TV trying to strangle Johnny?” “Oh, just the usual – we were complaining about how expensive it would be to get cable installed through the graveyard, and Squee called up Doctor Muerto. The next thing you know, Squee comes back with a “free TV” spell that imbecile gave him…and … [Read more...]
Brain Food: January’s Resolution – To Read More Comics!
“Hello, children! Be very quiet, the Doctor is just coming out of his sleepy-time…” “Squee, you’re tellin’ me he’s STILL out from your Hemlock Nog?!” “Yes, Jenny…I fear I measured badly this year. Too much with the hemlock, not enough with the nog. Very tasty, though!” “How is it that you’re always okay after drinking that hooch?” “Old family recipe – I’ve been drinking it since I was a little larva, back in 1813. I have a tolerance for the nog!” “Wait, wait, wait…you’re 199 years old?!” “Well, no – not … [Read more...]
