The Last Kids on Earth and the Zombie Parade: The Graphic Novel book 2

Max and his three friends notice a steep decline in the zombies, which would normally be cool, you know that harsh zombie eating the humans brains and all- but this is a lot more.  So Max, his three friends, and their pet Rover go out to investigate.  They did not expect what they found.  A pizza joint with a killer sound system and lots of, huh, really? Monsters. Didn’t see that coming, but the rest you find out for yourself.

This was a wonderful story, the same but also very different than other stories.  I loved all the characters, and the art was so wonderful.  This is a series not to be missed.

 

Recruitment (The Resistance Trilogy, 1)

 

In Valta, a burned and bombed city, everyone’s birthday is the same day, November 1st.  It is also the day the 17s will soon be picked up by recruiters and taken off for training so they can serve and fight their enemy.  For Kress and some others from her city, tomorrow is their recruitment day.  They have no idea what is to come because, other than Kress’ brother, no one is ever seen again, and he was killed not long after he got back.  Everyone has someone or something they will have to leave behind, but for Kress it is a raven, Render, that she is bonded to.  When they get to the processor, they are trained extensively on all things military. However, the longer they are there, the more they find the story doesn’t add up.

Wow, for a dystopian trilogy, the first book is way different, and I really like it.  Plenty of action, suspense, and highs and lows.  Who the bad people are is not always very clear; good thing Render has really good eyes.  I cannot wait to read the next two.
