HERE'S WHAT EVERYONE HAS BEEN SAYING ABOUT XOMBIE #1! -----
"I thought it was going to be just one more story of mindless flesh-eating art. I was wrong. I am completely hooked on this one. Give this title a chance. I think you will be pleasantly surprised." ~ComicsAlliance.com
"XOMBIE is an altogether different book than most zombie books around. The story is entertaining. The fast pace and quick action really helping this book stand out in today’s decompression-palooza. We need more fun books – Xombie supplies that. The art is dynamic, exciting, and most importantly – fun! In conclusion, Xombie is a fun book. If you’re tired of the dark, depressing books out today, or just want a little break from the death and suffering – Xombie is the book for you." ~SilverBulletComics.com
"Right off the bat, this is the most fun I’ve had reading a comic in a long time. There are parts of this book that are just flat out funny. Things start off at a fast pace and it’s one long entertaining sprint to the end. Xombie Reanimated #1 is action-packed and innovative. It’s a healthy mix of classic zombie movies like Re-Animator, Army of Darkness, and Lucio Fulci’s Zombie. The artwork by Nate Lovett is eye-popping and loose. Characters come to life on the page. His visuals serve as the perfect complement to James Farr’s tightly scripted scenes. This is a great first issue. 10 / 10" ~ComicAddiction.com
"The artwork captures the feeling of the flash series. And, as it's done by the creator of said series, there's no chance of it not maintaining the feel that made it such a hit on the internet. If you're a fan of the series, or just curious, definitely add this to your pull list." ~215ink.com
"The triumph of Xombie is that it can appeal to both young and older readers. The art and the young protagonist skews the tale to a younger audience while the action, post-zombie apocalypse setting and more philosophical connotations of life and duty make Xombie worthwhile material for an older audience." ~ComicReaders.com
