Description
Gwendolyn “Gwen” Dylan is a 20-something gravedigger in an eco-friendly cemetery. Once a month she must eat a human brain to keep from losing her memories, but in the process she becomes consumed with the thoughts and personality of the dead person – until she eats her next brain. She sets out to fulfi ll the dead person’s last request, solve a crime or right a wrong.
Our zombie girl detective is joined by a radical supporting cast: her best friend Eleanor, who happens to be a swinging ’60s ghost, a posse of paintball blasting vampires, a smitten were-dog and a hot but demented mummy.

It was a bit difficult for me to get into this, maybe because I love the tv series so much and this is just completely different. It really is a very loose adaptation. I feel like the comic is much more similar to Supernatural than the tv show iZombie... There are so many different creatures, not just zombies, but also ghosts, vampires and even a were-terrier... Oh, and there are also hunters and Gwen (Liv in the tv show) might fall in love with one of them... Even though there were way more supernatural elements in this, than I expexted I still really enjoyed it. I really loved the tone (it can get pretty dark) and the great humor(which is probably where the comic and tv show are most similar). And now I'm also kind of sad, that Ellie and Spot don't exist in the tv show...
Loved, loved, LOVED the TV Show. iZombie is in my top 3 TV Shows and Olivia Moore is in the top 10 of my favourite characters of all time. Obviously I had to see where the idea came from. And it's very interesting to me how completely DIFFERENT the graphic novels are. They only share the Zombie affliction and quirks that come with it. And honestly... I kinda like that. I enjoy both properties, I think the TV show did an amazing thing with the base idea, but I am also sad that we won't see the graphic novel more expanded. A cartoon series for this graphic novel would be a dream! Anyways, it's a fun, unique and interesting story and I can only recommend it!
