"Zombie Kisses relates the strange chronicles of life after zombies overtake society.  The story is told in fragments of experience from one young man's perspective, & the events which unfold in this sort of post-apocalyptic setting hint at a larger narration yet to fully emerge.  I like it!"

"First off, I must apologize to Brian John Mitchell and his three cover artists.  Zombie Kisses is presented in a unique form.  So unique in fact that the three issues ended up read and tucked away with my special things before I  quite knew that I hadn't done up a review.  Each issue can fit in the palm of your hand.  I love it!  I've been carrying them around all day just because I like the way that they feel.  Well, that and to remind myself to write the review. Remember " Night of the Living Dead" & it's many sequels?  Well, Zombie Kisses is the story of, what I assume to be our world after a zombie virus has broken down our society and turned the dead into animated nightmares.  Issue #1 with it's eerily ambiguous cover sets up the story  of two brothers who've lost all the family they held dear.  It describes for you their current living situation and their necessary steps for survival.  The last page climaxes with a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more.  Yet I was a bit afraid of what would come next.  Zombie Kisses 2 strikes you first with it's lonely cover art, portraiture of a soul afraid to go on.  The portrait then continue's with it's close look of what the one brother feels and his loss of self.  The third issue takes a look into the head of the other brother as he tries to organize survivors for carrying on.  You, the reader can not be sure of his ultimate fate though he seems convinced that he will not last long.  The accompanying art is macabre.  This series is a whole lot of fun.  The powers that be just have to do up a film adaptation.  My only criticism is that at times the story and cover art seemed like something dreamed up by my nephew when he was thirteen.  Not necessarily being a bad thing.  It conveys a feeling of doomsday prophecy. You want to know how much I like Zombie Kisses?  I read it three times.  How many times will you read it?"
