Escape From the Dead #1 (Grind House)

From 2014.

This is a preview issue for the series, and as such doesn't really get into the story too much, other than generally introducing the main character and suggesting a problem with zombies.  But doesn't everyone?

More notable than the writing is the art, which comes from Cliff Richards, who has done plenty of mainstream work over at DC, which makes it kind of surprising to see him doing something like this.  Clearly a cut above your average indy art talent, Richards easily drives the story along even when you're not sure how much you care about it.

But the best thing about the story itself?  This line.  It's a classic, and includes the leading contender should I ever decide to change the name of this blog:
