From Booklist
The cast of Moore's Boneyard, the ongoing adventures of a young man and his cemetery, already boasts a curvaceous vampire, a Frankenstein's monster, a werewolf, a gill girl (a la the creature from the Black Lagoon, only with a libido), a demon, a Halloween skeleton, gargoyles, and a talking raven-all jolly good sorts-but not, until halfway through this book's to-be-continued story, zombies. The latter are Romero-style stiffs, and they rather put a damper on Boneyard 's romantic sitcom proceedings, which here devolve from saving the graveyard from the devil, developers, and the IRS to the contention between Abbey (the vampire) and Nessie (the gill girl) for the heart-the affections, that is-of Michael Paris (the young owner of the cemetery). Moore's casual humor and ace draftsmanship continue to make Boneyard one of the comics world's most laid-back pleasures. If this book ends unusually dourly, surely its successor will blow away the gloom or at least, given the series' funereal setting, the aura of doom. Ray Olson

5.0 out of 5 stars
Mixes humor with very practical problems,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boneyard, Vol. 3 (Boneyard (Graphic Novels)) (Paperback)
Boneyard Volume Three is the third graphic novel in Richard Moore's horror spoof. Following the adventures of a fairly ordinary young man who inherits a cemetery filled with supernatural tenants - including a lascivious sea-woman, her Frankenstein-like husband, stone gargoyles who are none too good at surfing, and a beautiful 2,000-year-old vampire named Abbey - Boneyard mixes humor with very practical problems, even for seemingly supernatural beings. The IRS is threatening to foreclose on their home, and to raise sufficient funds, our heroes attempt to create and sell a swimsuit special featuring the lovely beauties at the beach (with an extra dose of SPF 1000 for Abbey). But there are fiends far worse than the taxman at work, culminating in a deadly showdown between Abbey and an even more ancient and powerful entity - the one who made her a vampire and knows the gruesomely horrific details of her painful past, millennia ago. Although a parody of modern horror media, Boneyard is far more than a gag story; it mixes humor and drama to fine blend and is one of the finest independent comics currently being published. Also very highly recommended and a "must" for Richard Moore fans are Boneyard Volume One and Boneyard Volume Two.

Donning Swimsuits to Save the Graveyard,
By
This review is from: Boneyard, Vol. 3 (Boneyard (Graphic Novels)) (Paperback)
Michael Paris still needs to raise money to pay his taxes. The "swimsuit issue" is a go and Paris and the gang head for the beach where Glum will handle the shooting. The shooting and the Swimsuit Issue are handled with Moore's typical humor as is quite well done.
But there is more to this collection than sexing otherworldly beings in next-to-nothing. A certain seductress shows up and tries to sink her claws into Paris. Paris and Abbey play a little cat and mouse as they start to be honest about their feelings. The past of some of the characters comes up as well as more information on the Devil's current plans regarding said cast. The series is continuing nicely and even the swimsuit issue did not detract from advancing the various plot lines. Clean art and storytelling make this an enjoyable addition to the series.
