Ennis and Burrows Save Up for Crossed #6
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Reviews, Independent
I’m sure many, like myself, were disappointed with last month’s Crossed, issue #5. Not a single sadistic zombie was to be found! Little did I realize that, until I read Crossed #6, it was merely a calm before the storm. Trust me—it’s a huge, effing tempest.
Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows open the issue with our characters face to face (literally) with an undead eliminated by his own kind. Barely two pages after that, we discover just why Kitrick is as depressed as a Prozac-popping Elizabeth Wurtzel (aside from the usual post-apocalyptic depression, that is). I’ve got to say: Ennis and Burrows deliver with this flashback.
Just when you think that they’re going to feed into your Ichi the Killer-like sadism (yes, you who reads these twisted comics) some more, they throw the cutest, most adorable puppy dog at you! Yes, a puppy dog!
Unfortunately, you don’t have much time to fawn over the dog as another revealing past from the bunch comes to the forefront. I’m not sure whose past is worse, to be honest. But I do have some comments about one of them (spoilers after the jump)...

Walking Dead #62 Weakly Introduces Hunter Arc
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Reviews, Image Comics
I know, I know: how can I label anything that Robert Kirkman touches as “weak”? Trust me, I was just as disappointed as you were with this month’s issue of his never ending zombie saga, The Walking Dead #62. Even more upsetting is the fact that this issue marks the first of five issues in his “Fear the Hunters” arc!
We start off post-Billy and Ben murders, where Dale has plunged deeper into his anti-social abyss (clearly depicted in the second panel where he is outright facing the opposite of the party). Kirkman then spotlights the very intriguing progression of Carl’s character, which I foolishly assumed in the last issue was his mirroring Rick. Judging from what Kirkman showed us this month, I cannot even imagine what he has in store for Carl, but it does make me giggly and excited.
Then… ZOMBIES! Oh how I missed you guys last month!
Enough of a recap—on to what I have to say about this letdown (so as to halt you from throwing stones at my head).

R/C Zombie
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Movies, Toys
Admit it. You are the first to run to any new Zombie movie. Now you can terrorize your friends, co-workers, and pets with your own RC undead toy. He stands 7 3/4-inches and you can activate him by simply pressing a button on the brain-shaped remote. Once revived, he will drag himself around while moving his neck, shoulders, and hips, and, as a bonus, will moan a bit. The remote controlled ghoulie needs three AAA batteries (not included) to work and comes with a MSRP of $24.95.

What Would a Zombie Do?
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Toys
Who doesn’t appreciate a good zombie gadget once in awhile? Sure, this File Folder looks kind of cheesy and you could probably make your own, but for only $4.95 it won’t cost you
a leg. Or maybe we should mention that at a size of 9 1/2 x 12-inches, it will always be there to lend a hand. Before we get too carried away, did we divulge that it makes you look merely ghoulish if you carry it around?
