Zombillenium: Gretchen

Zombillenium: Gretchen - Arthur de Pins We're putting this in our adult collection but I think it's safe for YA.

Anyway.

This is cute, light-hearted and fun. I enjoyed the illustrations immensely as well as the concept/story idea. It reminded me a bit of the [b:Boneyard: Volume 1 - In Full Color|803107|Boneyard Volume 1 - In Full Color|Richard Moore|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1328754806s/803107.jpg|789067] books (also published by this group).

The one problem I had was with the actual writing. It needs some work. The conversation doesn't flow...heck, even the word bubbles don't flow well in many cases. The overall story ends up being clunky.

So while I loved the drawrings and the idea, the actual dialogue just tripped me up a few too many times to give this more than 3 stars. However, I'm hoping that lessons will be learned and volume 2 will work out much better.
