ALMOST DEAD #1 is a gorgeously rendered, structurally well-crafted start to a fairly standard zombie apocalypse story. The world- and character-building are excellent, but the story lacks a hook or unique twist to help it stand apart from other zombie stories. Read Full Review
Almost Dead #1 kicks things off with an opening we've seen many times before and it just doesn't do it well. When there's so many options out there for this type of story, it doesn't make a case this is the one you should check out and stick with. Read Full Review
Being a first issue to the series is always a bit slow and somewhat lack-luster, this is a bit expected, but this is kind of hard to defend. Not much happens in the story to draw you in. This isn't the worst I've read and I think it's worth reading the second issue hoping to get more.
Not very gripping or exciting, read this story before.
