Critics Review
“A new take on the zombie apocalypse idea, YEAR ZERO looks at an undead pandemic by focusing on small stories across the world as individuals struggle to come to terms with what’s happening — allowing the series as a whole to explore different moral (and existential) questions relating to the relentless, shambling threat.” – Graeme McMillan * The Hollywood Reporter *
“By making the characters the focus of the story, the zombie infested world merely the backdrop to the comic, the first volume of YEAR ZERO was a rip roaring success. With this second volume Benjamin Percy continues to do everything which worked well in the first volume but with brand new, and if anything more interesting, characters. Fans of the first volume will lap this up, as will fans of the walking dead. It’s a great jumping on point as well if you haven’t read the comic yet. The art is incredible and the icing on the cake.” – Nick Devonald * Comics The Gathering *
