G.O.R.E. Score: Zombies!: Eclipse of the Undead
Original Release Date: May 16, 2007 (collected) Number of Issues: 4 (Mini-series) Publisher: IDW Press I think I may have been spoiled by “The Walking Dead.” I feel like a lot of the zombie-centric graphic novels I read these days just don’t feel like good story-telling to me, and I wonder if that is due […]
G.O.R.E. Score: The Serpent and the Rainbow
Original Release Date: February 5, 1988 Run Time: 98 minutes Wes Craven is a horror machine.

When it comes to music, a “fan” is someone who owns albums of the […]
G.O.R.E. Score: Marvel Zombies Return
Original Release Date: January 1, 2010 (collected) Number of Issues: 5 Publisher: Marvel Entertainment “Marvel Zombies Return” finally gives us a sense of closure for the story concerning the “original” Marvel Zombies. Marvel was also wise to bring in some experienced “zombie veteran” writers to each have their hand at writing an issue of this […]
G.O.R.E. Score: Marvel Zombies 4
Original Release Date: November 1, 2009 (collected) Number of Issues: 4 Publisher: Marvel Entertainment “Marvel Zombies 4” continues the downward shame spiral of Marvel pumping out another low-quality mini-series simply in an attempt to cash in on the popularity of both their previous “MZ’ series and the recent increase in public enjoyment of zombies in […]
