I heard a lot of good things about this, but was a little unsettled by the idea of a zombie-style showdown in a small town where you have naked women instead of zombies... it seemed a little like it would be hard to write something like that without some misogyny creeping in. The Luna Bros. face this dilemma head-on, but pretty much the wrong way: they introduce a protagonist who is pretty much a straight-up misogynist, surrounded by unsympathetic women. The comic is vaguely critical of this, but he's pretty much intended as sympathetic guy, so... yeah. Not a fan.

One dark night in Pennystown (pop. 65), Ethan picks up a beautiful, naked, silent "mystery girl" on the side of the road. He takes her home, where she forces herself on him (not meeting much resistance). In the morning, she lays eggs that give birth to identical mystery girls, who then begin assaulting the women of Pennystown.

This first volume features the madness and uncertainty of the beginning of a monster movie. There are freak occurrences, violent deaths, interpersonal conflicts, and a wide supporting cast who may or may not turn out to be simple stereotypes. The series may go on to say something interesting about gender roles and relationships, or it may turn out to be a pulp story with sexy zombies.

The art is unusual, featuring digitally enhanced color separation, lighting, and depth-of-field effects. More important, the characters' visual representation supports their individual personalities, which is essential to keeping track of the dozen or so townspeople.

This is a great series of graphic novels, and I am not into graphic novels at all. Basically a survival horror story, take your typical zombie tale and replace the zombies with naked women. A small town finds themselves trapped in a transparent shpere with hundreds of egg laying naked women, whos sole purpose is to beat all of the human women to death. Sounds weird, and it IS weird, but written and drawn very similar to a movie. The Luna Brothers are getting a lot of press as the next big thing in comics, and I see why. GREAT series! ( )
