Told from a female zombie's perspective, this smart, witty detective series mixes urban fantasy and romantic dramedy.
Gwendolyn "Gwen" Dylan is a 20-something gravedigger in an eco-friendly cemetery. Once a month she must eat a human brain to keep from losing her memories, but in the process she becomes consumed with the thoughts and personality of the dead person - until she eats her next brain. She sets out to fulfill the dead person's last request, solve a crime or right a wrong.
In uVAMPIRE, Gwen dines on the grey matter of a person who knew her as a child - and things quickly get complicated. Meanwhile, ghost-girl Ellie learns a few tricks from Amon the mummy; Spot the were-terrier goes to the comics shop and meets someone from Gwen's past, the mad scientist Galatea engages in a bit of grave-robbing; and the monster-hunters tackle the town's vampire problem once and for all. Collecting issues #6-12 of the Eisner Award-nominated series, plus a story from the HOUSE OF MYSTERY ANNUAL #2

If you think you know all monsters you know know those in I ZOMBIE series. Like Book 1 Dead to the World we start off with Halloween night trick or treat kids having fun. This book than give up the untold background of some of the main characters such as how Scott turned into a were dog; first met Ellie and Gwen and the spirit of his grandpa got stuck inside the body of chimp. This book also have more of Scott comic imagination of him and his friends that are real cute including his own version of Scooby Doo and Casper Scare School. We learn more of the true monster Galatea plans for the world and how the paintball vampires attempt to call a truce with the vampire hunters. Gwen goes on a date with one of the monster hunters keeping secret that she too is a monster. Gwen has the task of passing on a message to someone who knew her when she was alive.

3.0 out of 5 stars Zzzzombie
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2013
This isn't the best follow-up to the charming first book of iZombie; uVampire instead focuses more on the individual characters which, although important, might be a bit too early to do so as the main story feels a bit under-developed. Nevertheless we get the origin stories of Scott the Were-Terrier and Ellie the Ghost, and more background to Gwen's past life without revealing the whole story - yet. The paintball vampires square off against the monster hunters Diogenes and Horatio and a new character, the mysterious Galatea, appears at the same time numerous bodies from the city's morgues begin disappearing.

Gwen has to eat a human brain each month to stave off becoming a shambling, mindless zombie but in turn she inherits that person's memories and, being the kindly soul she is, she tries to help right any wrongs that were unresolved at the time of their deaths. This book's mission leads her the daughter of the dead mother who was also, coincidentally, Gwen's best friend when they were kids but it's also not the most interesting quest as it's basically about telling the daughter that she's sorry about the way her mother treated her when she was alive, not the most original of messages.

The people of Eugene, Oregon must be the most accepting people in the world because dead people walking up to them in the street barely fazes them - Gwen walks up to her childhood friend who knows Gwen's dead but gets over that fact real quick. Also earlier in the book Ellie possesses a man for a while but when she leaves him, he ambles off pleasantly holding his head with a puzzled look on his face - why wasn't he completely freaked out by being possessed by a ghost?!

Chris Roberson's writing is also a bit lacking in this book. The story is slow enough as it is but the book is filled with pseudo-profound statements like "Everybody has something they want but can't have. Or something they used to have but lost. Sometimes the only thing to do is find something new to want." - it just makes it that much harder to read, especially when you're rolling your eyes all the time. What is this, Goth Dawson's Creek?

Mike Allred's art is fantastic as always and Gilbert Hernandez guest draws the last issue in the book and does a brilliant job. I didn't notice before but if you've read Beto's books like "Sloth" and "Speak of the Devil", iZombie really reads like one of those books; his art suits the story and it'd be great to see him do more work on the series, but I'm biased as I'm a big fan of the Hernandez brothers already.

"uVampire"'s a bit slow in places but the series is moving forwards and the cast is developing further into becoming more complex and interesting. The characters' origin stories save this book from being a total bore. Here's hoping Roberson picks up the pace a bit in the next book and works in a little more plot.

Sehr amüsante Comic Buch Reihe. Erwartet euch keine parallele Geschichte zur sehr beliebten TV-Show (ebenfalls sehr empfehlenswert) und stattdessen eine völlig eigenständige Erzählung mit gänzlich anderen Charaketeren, Schauplätzen und Mythologien.

Großartiger Zeichen- und Erzählstil, sympatische Figuren und teils herrlich tief reichende Legenden.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing comic!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 2, 2016

I first read iZombie series on my iPad, but I liked them so much, that I wanted a hard copy to read again sometimes, and see the art the way it was meant to, with proper colors and size. These books are absolutely stunning and include additional stories and artwork. The colors and art are stunning, and the story is very engaging!

I was trying to decide between the hard cover compendium and the 4 separate volumes. I ended up choosing separate volumes, as I thought it would be easier to read. It is also cheaper to buy the volumes separately, if you buy from non-Prime sellers, who ship from overseas. Each book cost me about £6! I know that the Omnibus is bigger, so the art would be bigger as well, but I still think it's easier to read them in separate volumes.

This is the second volume 2: we discover a little more about our Vampire Friends...

I cannot find a proper way to explains the feel there is to I Zombie, but this is great. It's kind of a weird story but in the first volume we discover our mains protagonists as explained in the description. Quickly you fall in love for the Archie-esque if that's even a word artwork with a touch of more mature contain. It's naive, it's intelligent, it's cute and it's mainly well written. All Volumes of the 4 volume series offer a news twist, new little adventures and new information on what happened for our heroes to get like they are.
