"They're coming to get you Barbara!"

Well, it's been a while but I'm back. Launching three new comics is no easy job I can tell you. But rush out and buy Jetix and Duel Masters now kids, in all good newsagents.

In a moment when I've been able to get out of the office I spotted "The Night of the Living Dead: Barbara's Zombie Chronicles", a new comic from Dead Dog.

Hmmm. An interesting premise. The story picks up years later when old Babs finds herself cut off from the world and surrounded by the undead. Bummer.

Artwise, the comic is ok, espiecially when recreating scenes from the movie. However, I'm just not sure about Barbara herself. There's no way the screw-loose, panic-striken Babs of the movie could become the hard-as-nails, kick-ass Ripley clone of the comic. Nope, I see her being eaten by a zom in a nut-house rather than leading a team to victory.

There's a nice twist in the tale however when a government scientists blunders into the story.

I'll be interested in seeing where this one goes.
