    The Life After #6 excels with its comedic humor, intriguing artwork, and monster creation, but these factors do not make up for its numerous shortcomings: subpar dialogue, lack of character emotion, poor or absent transitions, and lack of flow in a number of a panels.

Hopefully, Fialkov and Gabo are able to move forward and continue to produce what we have come to expect. Read Full Review
