And speaking of the living dead I read New Deadwardians and in my opinion, it's the best of the new Vertigo titles, I enjoyed it so much that I decided to review the first issue.

Well it works in YA publishing (pretty girl in pretty dress phenom), so I guess they hoped the casual consumer would make assumptions.<br /><br />I do like the cover better than the American counterpart--that one feels less menancing I suppose.Lexiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997726505496899916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25675853.post-7569429778608494842012-04-26T05:42:57.190+01:002012-04-26T05:42:57.190+01:00Yes, sorry, should have mentioned that they were t...Yes, sorry, should have mentioned that they were the UK covers.<br /><br />I know it was only a surface similarity, but with the UK cover design, it just felt so calculated.Civilian Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978134983999101494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25675853.post-55288423809545214872012-04-26T03:23:32.390+01:002012-04-26T03:23:32.390+01:00Hmm that's a different cover from the Allison ...Hmm that's a different cover from the Allison Hewitt I have on my wishlist (http://www.amazon.com/Allison-Hewitt-Is-Trapped-Zombie/dp/B005SMW4F4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335406479&sr=8-1 the American edition). The above (which I guess is the UK edition?) does seem to be targeted for fans of Mira Grant's Newsflesh series, but having read the latter, there's only a surface similarity I think.<br /><br />Newsflesh is much more political and conspiracy driven--the search for the truth and why its being buried--some twenty plus years after the fact. Allison Hewitt (and its sequel, Sadie Walker is Stranded) is set during the Apocalypse itself and seem to focus more on the escalating casualties and insanity.<br /><br />Actually it sounds more like the 'prequel' short stories that Carrie Ryan did for her 'Forest of Hands and Teeth' young adult zombie series.Lexiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997726505496899916noreply@blogger.com
