Rocko returns in this new limited series from writer Anthony Burch (Borderlands 2) and Mattia Di Meo (Ben 10: For Science!) for a spooky look at everyone's favorite wallaby!
Something is turning the good people of O-Town into mindless zombies and Rocko wants nothing to do with it. He barricades himself and Spunky in their home and is determined to outlast the hoards outside.
But desperate times calls for desperate measures when Rocko's best friend Heffer becomes infected, Rocko will have to risk it all to save his friends and his city.
Rocko vs zombies was something I was expecting to be excited about this year! Read Full Review
Overall, a story that feels equal parts Shaun Of The Dead and The Walking Dead while still remembering that this is for kids. The story by Anthony Burch is funny, and action packed. The art by the creative team leaps off the pages. Altogether, a story that will make you feel for these characters and will make you fall for them . Read Full Review

There is a lot going on in Rocko's Modern Afterlife #1, but it's to writer Anthony Burch and artist Mattia Di Meo's credit that this series actually winds up living up to the modernity in its title as well as the afterlife. Read Full Review

Final Verdict: 7.2 " A talented team takes a tired trope and turns it into a terribly entertaining tale. Read Full Review
Mr. Bighead is an undeservedly pompous Boomer that that gets his just reward while Heffer is a PewDiePie-style YouTuber making his living streaming video game play and thus avoiding all interaction with a zombie outbreak happening right outside his bedroom door. It's weird, but I find this updated reflection of modern life oddly therapeutic.
