Fat Chunk Volume 2: Zombies by Jamie Smart
2.0
This is an anthology of zombie-related comic strips, mostly only a page or two long, that take a humorous approach to the undead. It's in black and white.
Some of the art in here was really good, but style- and writing-wise it was so of its time. It's crazy how long ago 2009 feels in terms of comics. Honestly, I'd say the strips here even feel older than they are, maybe more 2004-05. The book was really a throwback to the kind of edgy internet humour that I was never that interested in at the time, so it really didn't do a lot for me, but I imagine if that was your bag it'd be a fun read.
It's really small in format which I'm sure helped keep the price down but some of the better art suffered for being scaled down so much, and a lot of the detail was lost. A couple of the strips had clearly been formatted for presentation on a larger page or screen and were a bit hard to read.
I am an absolute sucker for zombies, and there were two or three really great zombie artists included in this collection, so I didn't hate it, but I'd be hard-pressed to recommend it to anyone. There's just so much great zombie stuff out there, and this unfortunately isn't it.
