[Graphic Novel] The Extinction Parade Volume 2: War by Max Brooks

I must be honest, I really like the idea of this series. Vampires think the zombie apocalypse is great as they aren't targeted, and they live a consequence free life as civilization falls. But they then realise their food source is on the verge of becoming extinct.
However, I really do feel like I can't connect with the two main women in this graphic novel. I find the story something that I don't remember much after I have read it.

Vampires do what they do best, and kill with their brute force and extreme strength. Turns out zombie blood isn't good when it comes in contact with vampire blood and the vampires feel that they are fighting a lost cause. They start to realise that this is not enough and that they need to use weapons. A sacred vampire army appear in order to save the day as the vampires fail at trying to eliminate the zombies with their bare hands by punching and kicking their brains. They find weaponry hard to figure out, as it is not something they are accustom to. Saying this, I wouldn't know how to use a gun either to be honest. Let's hope with some good tuition the fight can carry on.

New skills must be learnt and trust must be created in order to save the human race.

[Graphic Novel] The Extinction Parade by Max Brooks

In the past we've already dealt with the idea of zombies vs. vampires. However, Extinction Parade offers a whole new concept when it comes to involving vampires and zombies within the same book.

Zombies don't 'see' vampires as technically they aren't human. Brilliant! This means the vampires can walk straight through a crowd of zombies completely unscathed. But... What's a vampires main food source? Yes.. Humans... And what is currently on the verge of extinction... Yep, humans!

Now the vampires have to figure out a way to keep their food source alive and away from this parasitic creature that feeds upon the same flesh of the living that the vampires want. 

How are they vampires going to deal with this one?!

Guess you gotta read it! 

[Graphic Novel] Recorded Attacks by Max Brooks

Recorded Attacks by Max Brooks (author of World War Z) is a brilliant book/graphic novel and I am so glad that I picked it up. It was a random find in Waterstones and on a whim I thought 'why not?' and bought it.

This book takes real life historical events and makes zombies the reason and purpose for their happening. For instance, Brooks claims that the Egyptians removed the brain from the deceased in order to prevent re-animation. There are also examples including the Romans, who, as Brooks suggests, built Hadrian's wall (cutting off England and Scotland) in order to stop zombies coming onto their land.

Considering I study History at Univeristy, I think this is a brilliant idea for a graphic novel. History and zombies? What a book for me! I really enjoyed reading it. This is one of my favourite zombie graphic novels and I would very much so recommend it to any zombie fan.
