I will flat out say Cannibal is by far the most interesting zombie series I have read in a very long time. I'll be putting this series on my pull list and following it closely and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a bone chilling series to sink their teeth into, for this Halloween season!

Although I made comparisons to zombies throughout this review, understand that Cannibal is far more terrifying than that tired genre.  It's almost akin to the werewolf in that the infected has no control over his or her actions once they've contracted the virus.  They're forced to watch as they commit these monstrous actions, powerless to do anything but satisfy their hunger for human flesh, no matter what the cost.  This is southern brewed horror with a dose of heartbreak.

This book won me over; I only purchased it because I heard about it on a podcast and thought I'd give it a shot. Historically, I've been a superhero purist when it comes to comics and graphic novels, but this was an exception. The art was fine, but nothing extra special (although the cover looking like a moonshine label is a nice touch). The true beauty of this book is in its simplicity. The author doesn't over-complicate things, and lets this just be a good horror/thriller story. I'm looking forward to the next episode just like I would an episode of series on the SyFy network. As long as they keep the story contained, I have high hopes going forward " this is probably going on my pull list at my local comic book shop. Read Full Review

As a new comic, Cannibal still has some progress to be made with its characters and story. However, the combination of its slow Southern storytelling and sophisticated graphic elements make it a unique and worthy read. Read Full Review

Cannibal is a solid new addition to Image's horror/action line-up. I'm looking forward to digging deep into the characters as the cannibals tear their lives (and them) to pieces. The concept should be fun as it continues to play out, and the book looks gorgeous.Cannibal #1 is entertaining through and through. Read Full Review

Cannibal#1 is a good debut that makes its mark with a creative twist on the “zombie” premise. Matias Bergara's art is atmospheric and has a nice rhythm to the pacing, keeping the story moving at a nice pace. And by focusing on the characters, Jennifer Young and Brian Buccellato have crafted a story that should be able to overcome the superficial similarities toThe Walking Dead. Read Full Review

While this may not be the best initial issue I've seen lately, it's all that potential that catches and holds my attention. The premise and the basics are strong, and the drawbacks don't ruin that, they just hold the book back. It's actually still pretty good overall, I just hope more action takes place in well lit rooms in the future, so we can see some colors, and that each sub plot gets a little more room before jumping to the next.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this series pans out. Right now, we don't have many established relationships with these characters, so I'm not as interested as I could be. However, conscious human flesh eaters make a better topic than the normal brain-eating zombie that has been the fad for quite some time now. This is a great addition to Image's lineup of books, and it's well worth the read for any horror fan. Read Full Review

It's another solid debut from Image, steeped in the tradition of Southern Gothic and Zombie Apocalypse narratives but with a unique, scary and prescient twist. Read Full Review

I don't normally give horrendous grades for comics, but in this case, I'll make an exception. Image Comics, I expect better. Read Full Review

The thing that detracts from this issue the most for me is the art. I don't like it. There is generally so little detail that I often found it hard to distinguish between various characters (especially the seemingly more minor characters) and sometimes found that it was hard to follow some of the action. However, when Bergara tries, he is able to draw some quality facial expressions (though, this is not the norm). Besides the art, the story seems uninspired, besides the one general twist on the zombie genre -- that the "zombies" are actually conscious living people -- which is explained on the very first page, the story in this issue is very formulaic and largely predicable. This issue is paced well, there is a decent amount of action and the overall concept seems interesting in theory; however, I think this is just an OK comic and I don't anticipate getting the next issue. If you like this style of art, it might be worth your while to give this series at least a few issues. more
