And I just thought it was a really nice story. They weren’t big storylines-they just were. What was so especially nice about all those things mentioned above is that they seemed very naturally and easily established. Jack’s friendship with the guys he plays D&D with.ĭicey’s happy family life with her dad and little brother (except the part about her mom being dead.) Not only is Dicey a jock, but she is also the only female player on her school’s baseball team.ĭicey’s friendship and relationship with the guys on her team. Here are the things I liked and thought made this a totally standout book:ĭicey is an athlete and Jack is a nerd. Jack and Dicey team together and are pretty kick ass fighters. Now, I can’t stand the zombie ouvre (exceptions: Zombielandand Shaun of the Dead) because they are a)gross and b)scary and c)it pretty much seems like once zombie plagues hit it’s all over. The virus is brain eating and spread by biting-so basically zombies. On their first real date Jack gets a call from his CDC scientist parents that an outbreak of a virus has hit their town. The basic story is that Dicey and Jack are classmates and over the course of an assignment together they become close and attracted to each other. I loved it! I’m unclear if this is a series (as the #1 would indicate) and if so are the other volumes about the same characters? On the one hand, I hope so because I really liked the main characters and secondary characters and would like to see more of them (it would almost seem a waste to have established their stories and then only use them in this short book), but on the other hand this ended very satisfactorily and there’s really no definite need for more. This comic is a pretty quick read-it’s quite short.
