Equally impressive is the art from Tony Vargas which manages to carry with it a hauntingly beautiful quality. Vargas portrays the world of this apocalypse as one overtaken by nature with overgrown forests spreading into the humans world and animals roaming the scenery. The way Vargas depicts the zombies also feeds back into Maberrys ideas of using them as background to the main story, we see nature begin to claim the zombies as weeds grow around their ankles. Its yet another subtle reminder that they are just part of this world and not the main focus. As well as the quieter and more serene moments Vargas manages to depict the zombie action of the latter half of the book with a real sense of energy and horror that makes the scene feel exciting and tense as we worry about the characters weve grown to care for. The final scenes also allow Vargas to end on a very chilling note with a pretty creepy cliff-hanger that has assured Ill be back for a second issue.

Im sure after reading my comments many of you feel I hated this book, but such is not the case. True, I didnt enjoy it as much as other DD books, but this issue was good too. If you havent read this issue yet, then I think you should probably do so soon, the FBI bust alone is reason enough.

The book is actually quite good, even if youre not a fan of the anime style, but if you are, then youll enjoy it that much more. However, if youre like me, then just being a fan of the Fantastic Four makes this book a must have.
