[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] iZombie: uVampire, Volume 2

A great follow on from volume one. Gwen eats the brain of someone she used to know in her previous life, which ultimately complicate things for her when it comes to helping them out with their unfinished business. Ghost girl Ellie learns new tricks with how to use her situation to the fullest of its potential and the were-terrier's grandad well.. Also manages to take on a new form.

Brilliant second volume. Definitely get into this series. The art work is great, the characters are riveting and the idea is completely original. I love this comic series.

[Graphic Novel] Night Of The Living Dead: Aftermath, Volume 2

Follow on from NOTLD Volume 1, it's great to see where the characters are going, however, it was left on a cliffhanger so I definitely hope Volume 3 is in the works because I'm starting to get attached to the characters!

The storyline makes you question what people would do in a situation like this. Would they come together? Or go against one another? Especially higher status persons such as the military and the government.

Is it right to experiment on people for the "greater good" to find a "cure" despite the idea being completely morally wrong?

I feel the story really evolved in the second volume, making me itch for the third.
