Now, I don’t want to say too much about this here, because we’re going to be talking about it on the next episode of the podcast in much greater detail (in all likelihood), but if anyone out there is a fan of Lenore by Roman Dirge and is wondering whether the first issue of the new series from Titan is any good, I would say run, don’t shamble, to your finest local funnybook emporium and grab yourself a copy, because it’s sterling stuff.

If you aren’t aware of Lenore, the cutest zombie in the universe, then this is the perfect time to acquaint yourself with something that’s equal parts Jhonen Vasquez and Edward Gorey, but with more subtlety than the former and more visceral gags than the latter. It’s cute and horrific at the same time and is well worth a few bucks of anyone’s money. Forego that holofoil Ultimate relaunch, and get to know the sweetest, deadest, most horrifically superb heroine in modern comic books.
