Sep 03, 2025Everything Dead and Dying #1 is a hell of a start that has a chance of going down as a classic in the genre. It presents a new and different take on the genre and feels like it has something to say underneath it all. Beyond the shambling remnants of society, it's the story of a man who finds purpose in a horrible situation and will have to fight to keep it, even when it feels like madness. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Theron Couch
Sep 03, 2025Everything Dead and Dying #1 is a clever take on zombies. Its character oriented in a way the genre often isnt, partly because Bromball doesnt rely on the same formula for what the zombies are. Phillips art and Martins coloring further elevate the issue. Horror fans should definitely give this a look, even if they have zombie fatigue. Read Full Review
