I Zombie, U Vampire, We Comicvine
First off I do love Mike Allred's art, but a lot of the I, Zombie covers are lacking for me. This one is another example, what is up with the long neck? Allred is too good of an artist to be this lazy with design and actual execution. Now that I got the cover rant out of the way, I will now talk about the series. This issues is the last issue to the "U Vampire" arc, which was an overall good arc, but reading monthly was slow and awkward paced when factoring in the House of Mystery #2 short-story. Galetea's character is now fleshed out and it seems Chris Roberson uses her as the H. P. Lovecraft inspired character. She even wants to summon a monster that looks straight out of a Lovecraft book.
There are a lot of things happening in this issue and that is why I think this series was written for trade rather then monthly. The Paint-ball Vampires as well get fleshed out more. Spot and his Grand-father make an appearance and some how Roberson still keeps the focus on Gwen. It was nice to see Gwen's brother, even if its a tease. The next issue looks to be a one-shot as U Vampire feels like it was not completely tied up.
Overall entertaining issue, but not sure how much long I will keep reading this series monthly.
Cheers
