Ed’s life is monotonous. He has the same meatloaf special three times a week, learns to tune out the same complaining regulars who frequent his hardware store, and obsesses over his short time as a walking dead guy after being “tagged”—the tag in question being a curse passed from one doomed person to another. Being “it” means becoming a rapidly decomposing corpse that doesn’t die. The only way to get rid of the curse is to touch someone else, preferably to get even for a past wrongdoing. In the second arc of the comic book Tag, Ed is back among the living but consumed with stopping the curse and seeking out former taggees in hopes of making up for his troubled past. Writer Leib sets the stage so that newcomers won’t have any trouble following Ed’s quest. Unfortunately, the artwork doesn’t quite live up to the first-rate story. That shouldn’t faze old or new readers, who as horror fans will appreciate the terrific new spin Tag puts on the zombie thing. --Carlos Orellana
