Let's skip the fact that it's taken me so long to actually do one of these, and just get to it, ok?

Carl and I love Zombies. Like, a lot. We have our own Zombie plans. The Walking Dead is consistently on the top of our pull lists. 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead are two of our favorite movies. Rob Zombie was kind of cool for a while, but...meh.
The point here is that Zombies are awesome, and when something cool having to do with Zombies hits our radars, we are compelled to see what it is. And a couple weeks ago, we got a blip.
The Zombie Hunters is a webcomic, written and drawn by Jenny Romanchuk, a lovely young woman from Sault ste. Marie, in Ontario Canada, where, as she says, "the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average." Since we have a listener in Canada as well, maybe they know each other, as we know that all Canucks are well-acquainted.
The story chronicles the lives and journeys of a group of Zombie Hunters, people who, having no other choice, go into the post-apocalyptic wasteland and scavenge for resources. Along the way, we get to know them quite well, even though this is only the beginning of a much larger story.
Miss Romanchuk is a very gifted artist, as evidenced by, not only the work on the comic itself, but the other pieces in her gallery and DeviantArt page (her professional portfolio is available here). She uses this talent to blend multiple art styles throughout the overall story, using each to enhance the mood or tone of the scene. Her letters tain’t half bad neither (sorry, was getting a little too pedantic…had to dumb it down).
Yes, the comic is graphic with the gore. And they do say the fuck-word. But for any realistic portrayal of the nightmare (or dream come true) that is the Zombie Uprising, I think this is appropriate.
The Zombie Hunters updates consistently on Mondays, with some Thursday bonuses thrown in from time to time. Please be sure to check out this comic. It is…WORTH READING!
