review:
IDW had the brilliant idea of having zombies face off against robots, and this story collection is one of the results. In a distant future, or past, zombies fight against robots and humans are caught in the middle. The stories mainly take place in Russia or England, but that was a happy accident. There are whip wielding nuns, and mad scientists and soldiers fighting side by side with singing robots. There is horror and betrayal by humand and robots, and there are unending hordes of zombies.
Michael Dubisch provides art in between each story illustrating what you are about to read. The illustrations range from faux wartime posters to girls on tankbots and all fit the mood perfectly.
My favorite stories include Timka by Ekaterina Sedia (who is fast becoming a favorite author of mine), and Exclusion Zone by Dale Bailey, about a father just trying to protect his family the best way he knows how. In Chernobyl. By putting human brains in robots.
But every story is good. Most are over the top, which you would expect from the title, but all are great fun. It would appear that the zombie genre is not quite ready to be put away and there are fresh surprises waiting.
