A Comic Review of iZombie #21

First off I want to point out that i have never even tried to write a review on a comic. Ok, here we go:

iZombie is the story of Gwen, a zombie girl that lives in Eugene, Oregon. But she is not your typical droning, mindless zombie. Gwen retains her intelligence, but must eat a brain once in a while to keep it. She has a ghost friend named Ellie, and Spot, a were-terrier. Her life was ok, well despite the fact that she was a zombie, but recently more monsters have been appearing in Eugene; vampires, zombies, a mummy, not to mention monster Hunters and a Government branch called "Dead Presidents". Gwen seems to find herself in the middle of all of it.
Written by the amazing Chris Roberson, and drawn by the talented Mike Allred, iZombie quickly became one of my favorite comics.

Now on to the current issue. The comic opens up to a story about how the Dead President where started, and awesome story about Zombie Lincoln. But it quickly returns to current time to address pressing matters. This issue is all about setting up the next, Amon teaming up with Diogenes' team and The Dead Presidents, Galatea and Dr. Kovsky setting their plan in motion, and everyone pretty much ready for an attack. While Gwen is stuck in a plane she is still relevant, and Spot is still with few answers. 


Excellent writing by Chris Robinson, as always. However this issue features a guest artist: J. Bone. I think he did a good job with the characters, but I miss Allred, thats just me. Not a good issue to jump into the series, but it was pretty good, compared to past ones, I like the fact that we are not left in the dark about what is going on, and it seems that everything (or most of it) will be resolved in the next issue, hopefully with an epic battle! 


ok now this is the part where I don't know what I'm doing, like for instance I don't think I will be giving comics a grade of any kind, at least I dont think i should. I will just put a um, "must read"? I will figure it out next week, for now, i will end the review on:


This issue was very strong in story, can't wait for #22. Great job by the guest artist, and as always excellent job Mr. Robinson.

SHORT REVIEW: I said I was going to do X-23, but this issue dealt with a lot of back story (NYX) and I felt it would had been a bad review on my part, I wouldn't have much to go on, I still liked it though, and I really want to see which decision she made.
