Dead Day #1 is a hell of a debut. The team has put together a comic that introduces you to so much in one issue and really sets things up in an exciting way. There's back matter material too that fleshes out this holiday and event even more that makes it feel fully realized. This is a hell of a start and from the first issue it feels like Dead Day is something to celebrate. Read Full Review

Dead Day does come across as a kind of zombie story at first just by the artwork but as you dig into it more there's a lot to be intrigued by. Ryan Parrott is good at that so I'm not too surprised by it. With this focused more as a family drama with discernible stakes, I'm hopeful that it remains the main focus as opposed to discovering the truth about Dead Day because I like the idea of that just remaining a mystery, ala The Leftovers. Bornyakov has been consistently strong with all of their projects and this is no exception, leaving me excited to see what else they'll bring to the table with the designs. Read Full Review

Dead Day has a great high-concept premise that we're just scratching the surface of. The Haskins family presents a human perspective to this mysterious supernatural event. It will be interesting to see if this holiday (if you can call it that) shatters this happy family or makes them stronger in the end...that is, if they even make it through the night.

An intriguing enough beginning to entice readers in. Zombie Fiction is evolving, any books like Year Zero, Kids, and now Dead Day and leading the charge on the next age of zombie fiction.

What really carries this book is how it approaches the zombie genre. It is centered around a " Dead Day " in where once a year at night, the dead can rise from their graves. These zombies ain't the eating flesh type, they really are just like humans but dead. Some visit their families, some visits their friends, but some may have some darker intentions. We see that with the introduction of our suburban family and their preparation for " Dead Day ". Lets just say that there is some history that spices up what this approach to zombie fiction and bring.

This book is mainly just alot of introductions, which is typical. We are introduced to our main characters, the concept of Dead Day, all that jazz. But it subtlety peels back to elude us to what is coming next. Ryan Parrot is one of the hottest new-coming writers into the industry, and his start with Dead Day only continues his success. Art from Evgeniy Bornyakov is clean and nice as well, but the colors is what makes her art shine.

Really intriguing approach to zombies, and advertises what is in store for the genre going ahead. more

I'll keep going with it!
