Firstly, let me say that as a reviewer I find it very ***** annoying when I get a bulky book that has no page numbering.  I have far too much work to go counting every page and this has been a problem over 30 years based on my experience. You get a book from France or Germany -or even Titan books in the UK and you get page count, book size and a little background info. Apart from contributors the Accent UK site has no information.

There is a nice Shane Oakley splash page and a two parter, Hell’s Nazis, Hell’s Nazis by John Halfpenny and Art by Gary Crutchley -it’s as a zombie story might appear in an old British weekly war comic!
There is a nice mixture of quality when it comes to art which adds to the overall feel of the book.  Some of the stories are also quite tongue-in-cheek such as Moother’s Love by Steve (Time Bomb Comics) Tanner and  art by Alex Thompson.  Okay, Mila Jovovich is nowhere to be seen in this look so I guess I’ll just have to live with that.
If you like Zombies and zombie comics then you ought to really like this new book, which is a follow-up to Accent UKs best-selling Zombies (which I missed out on).  Forget the soap opera that is The Walking Dead and read some good old British zombie fun…well, it’s fun until they start nibbling on your head.
Highly recommended.
