Moonstone Book's "Zombies vs Cheerleaders:" A Graphic Novel Review

For the people who have missed out in buying Moonstone Book's "Zombies vs Cheerleaders" because of its irregular release schedule, a trade paperback is available. This volume offers plenty of fan-service and teenage angst. The conflict is eternal and these self-contained tales offer up some hilarity and art from a variety of writers and artists.

Most of the standout tales come from issue #2. "Finality," by writer Brandon Jerwa (Battlestar Galactica, GI Joe) with art by Remy Mokhtar ("Phases of the Moon"), offers a thoughtful romantic tale where the last zombie and cheerleader on Earth have made peace. They have to band together to save mankind. Hopefully Jerwa will continue the tale, but in an anthology series that is barely two years old, only time will tell. "A Piece of Work," by series creator Steven L. Frank gives new meaning to the art of being a zombie, and its a tale that some will chuckle at.

Out of all the shorts offered by this regular writer, "Golden Anniversary," is perhaps one that comes out as charmingly enduring. It has a quaint 50’s vibe in both artistic style and storytelling.

While this collection does not include the recent issues #4 and #5, which released in the same month, this collection does have a bonus story and reprints all the front covers so that readers may be interested in buying the collection again. With the New Year, hopefully this series will be back on track with a regular schedule.

Included in the graphic novel edition are the first three issues of the series, the "Geektacular" special (featuring The Three Geeks by creator Rich Koslowski), and the "Flips Out" standalone feature.
