we're not supposed to be able to read that...right? Cuz I can't make out a single word in the preview. Arts ok, though, I guess.

You're exaggerating. :D The only thing I can't read is the last rites prayer and that's because they're doing it in a low voice/smaller font. And it's not a big deal because we know what they're doing, not to mention it's in Latin so a lot of readers won't even understand it. :D ;)

I bought the first two, but so-so art & stories and a really high price tag will keep me from buying more. This just looks like more of the same (in the art department at least- note they didn't give a price tag), so I'll pass again.

I will give it a shot!

I picked up Zombie Tales: The Dead #1 yesterday on a whim and this story is probably the best of the lot.

I wavered about buying this book because of its high price tag and I was kind of disappointed after I read it. It's just not worth $6.99 for what I thought were just mediocre zombie stories. They weren't horrible mind you, just not stellar.

It's a problem I have with Boom Studios and IDW in terms of the fact that their product is decent but I always expect more from them because of their higher prices and then I feel let down.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't read it. It's very blurry.

Count me as another who can't quite make out the words on those blurry pages. That's too bad...
