GI Zombie feels quite aware of a what a bizarre premise its offering, but it makes that much more fun. Example, GI Zombie in a basement when a bunch of grenades rolling down the stairs where they go off. Down the stairs come the bad guys telling themselves "no one could of survive that", when suddenly GI ZOMBIE pops out and eats these guy's throats. See while this may be a weird concept, this is the perfect example of book that's walking the tightrope like pro. Doesn't take itself seriously. Which gets laid down with a nice cliffhanger. By the way this book is getting a future's end storyline. So it might make it your worth to get the 1st two if you wind up with the September issue. Anyways if there were any drawbacks, is that were still left in the dark with some of the backstory. Also if there has not been major plotline which has started.
