In 2003, writer Robert Kirkman released a comic that asked “what happens after the credits roll in a zombie movie?” That book is Image Comics’ The Walking Dead, and after nearly eighty issues, it continues to be one of the publisher’s top selling books. The story is pretty basic: “what-would-you-do-in-a-zombie-apocalypse?”, however, the title is incredibly [...]

A Review by Jesse the Intern The graphic novel Watchmen was written in 1986. So you may be thinking “Aren’t you a little late with a review. Look it’s not my fault. I haven’t read a comic book since I was twelve years old, and I have only been interning at Captain Blue Hen for [...]

The Living Corpse #0 – 4 Written and Drawn by: Buz Hasson and Ken Haeser Thank goodness we have a fun zombie book. With the super depression pill that is Walking Dead, it’s good to take a break from that once in a while. Though calling The Living Corpse a zombie book would be selling [...]
