Product Description

A small-town museum is plagued by odd disturbances and missing persons -- gifts from the new kid in town, Azzul Gotha, the 42,000-year-old Hyperborean mummy that just checked in. It`s all-out zombie mayhem, complete with human sacrifice, a cemetery showdown, and the end of civilization.

4.0 out of 5 stars A benchmark in zombie and horror comics, February 4, 2007
Mignola's storytelling here is clearly him subconciously fleshing out his ideas that would eventually lead to the BPRD.

A mystic with a ghost form? CHECK
A big strong brute? CHECK
An aging team leader? CHECK

It was all starting to come together. Now the only art of Mignola's is the cover, but the work of artist Pat McEown's is somehow even creepier than Mignola's due to it being so unassuming and generally real world and care free. The closest book art wise might be the Tin Tin detective books.

Overall the concept is well played out: A paranormal investigative group must stop an ancient priest from resummoning the old gods and the conqueror worms (sound familiar?).

The true craft of Mignola in this piece is that he is able to convince the reader immediately that he or she is not starting at square one, but rather that the characters on the page have deep histories and that we are only reading one in a continuing series of adventures. Most writers just start with an origin story instead of taking the time to introduce complex characters from the get go.

For zombie fans, Mignola fans, Hellboy fans, horror fans, or occult fans this is a must read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Necromancers, mummies, and zombies, Oh My!, December 14, 2007
By Patrick S. Dorazio "Sloggoth" (Cincinnati, Ohio) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
If I have not missed my guess, this is the introduction to the Zombieworld franchise, the rest of which is contained in 'Winter's Dregs and other stories'. We get Mike Mignola and Pat McEown's take on the start of the dead's takeover of the world, caused in this world by an ancient necromancer released from his sarcophagus prison after forty-two thousand years, in modern day America.

We are introduced to a team of supernatural investigators who are seeking out this Necromancer and want to destroy him, but must fight their way through a few mummies, a giant plant monster type thing, and an army of the dead.

Overall, this was an entertaining read with enjoyable artwork. I have bought Winter's Dregs as well and look forward to the ongoing saga of Zombieworld.

2.0 out of 5 stars Overall, Disappointing, April 8, 2009
By Isaiah S. Huffman (Indianapolis, IN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I will have to say to start that I am not the biggist Mignola fan and though I have no hesitants to read one shot books I much perfer story archs over time... The art in this book is well done the story however is basically a set up for a later series. Am I interested in the later stories? Yes. But come to find out the later iterations of ZombieWorld are not written by Mignola, so no.
