This review is based on a digital ARC from the publisher through NetGalley.JONATHAN MABERRY is a New York Times best-seller and Audible #1 bestseller, five-time Bram Stoker Award-winner, anthology editor, comic book writer, executive producer, magazine feature writer, playwright, and writing teacher/lecturer. This book is scheduled for publication April 21, 2015. Personally, I would prefer to have a series about Tom’s (my favorite character) adventures before Rot & Ruin. Maybe you don’t have to have read all four books in the Rot & Ruin series before this one, but I’d recommend reading at least the first two books. I would definitely read the next book in this series and would recommend it to my friends. She also speaks softly because of a voice injury, but in this book she could yell over people. I thought a few of the character details were off from the main series, like Lilah is supposed to have extremely white blonde hair, but in this book she had blonde hair. The art work was really good and similar to The Walking Dead graphic comics. I liked revisiting the characters again and thought the elements of the zombie babies and the ‘cows’ were innovative ideas. The concepts were good, but it was such a short book, the story felt rushed. When I saw this new graphic comic series, I knew he would love to read and review it.Ĭompared to the Rot and Ruin series, this was an okay read. The Rot & Ruin series is one of his favorites and he’s read it through twice – so far.

Today’s review comes from my fifteen-year-old son, Reese. We meet Benny, Nix, Lilah, and Chong as they travel through the Sierra Nevada mountains just one faltering step ahead of zombie hordes and one giant leap behind the plane flying through the sky that set them on their journey of discovery. Written by New York Times best-selling author and multiple Bram Stoker award-winner, Jonathan Maberry, this all-new storyline continues events from the award-winning series of novels. Brand-new adventures set in the world of Rot & Ruin!
