G.O.R.E. Score Reviews
G.O.R.E. Score: Star Wars: Death Troopers
Original Release Date: October 13, 2009 Publisher: LucasBooks REVIEWER’S NOTE: It is nigh-impossible to talk about this book without giving away some pretty spoiler-iffic stuff, especially in the “Star Wars Characters and Locations” department. I have made the actual Scoring spoiler-free, so if you don’t want to know any of this pertinent info, skip down […]
G.O.R.E. Score: The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks
Original Release Date: October 6, 2009 Total Number of Issues: 1 (Standalone Graphic Novel) Publisher: Three Rivers Press “The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks” is a graphic novel that gives a “visual” chronicling of some of the recorded zombie attacks from Max Brooks’ quintessential first book, “The Zombie Survival Guide.” This release has taken some […]
G.O.R.E. Score: Living with the Dead
Original Release Date: October 10, 2007 Total Number of Issues: 3 (Mini-series) Publisher: Dark Horse Comics I stumbled across “Living with the Dead” as a small little graphic novel at the bookstore; the price was right, so I thought I would check it out.

Monster Island (2006), Monster Nation (2006), Monster Planet (2007) Released: 2006-2007 Publisher: Thunder’s Mouth Press/Running Press I wanted to reserve reviewing David Wellington’s trio of zombie books, Monster Island, Monster Nation, and Monster Planet, until I was able to complete reading all of three of them. Now that I have read the entire trilogy, I […]
G.O.R.E. Score Review: Zombieland
Original Release Date: October 2, 2009 Run time: 80 minutes As most of us are keenly aware by now, the hype surrounding “Zombieland” has grown to fairly epic proportions; can you think of the last time a zombie movie received a major national marketing campaign and a coast-to-coast wide theatrical release? Last year’s “Quarantine” had […]
