DIE!namite is a series of zombie apocalypse comics from Dynamite Entertainment that utilizes some of the publisher's most popular characters and licensed properties. The latest is DIE!namite Lives! It is written by Fred Van Lente; drawn by Vincenzo Carratu; colored by Kike J. Diaz; and lettered by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. In the new series, Vampirella and the remainder of Project Superheroes look for a new savior, and that could be Ash Williams (star of the 1992 film, Army of Darkness).
DIE!namite Lives! Volume 2 #3 opens in Hawaii where flesh-eating superheroes take on evil zombies. Red Sonja, Peter Cannon, Black Terror, and Scarab battle a squad of Frankenstein lookalikes that Sonja should be able to control, except she can't. Cannon reasons that they must be controlled from a satellite, but this deduction may be playing into Captain Future's hands.
Meanwhile, Vampirella, Pantha, Miss Fury, and Tabu have arrived at a local “S-Mart” warehouse. Here, they hope to obtain that copy of Necronomincon Ex Mortis, the book that can stop this zombie plague, a book that Pantha bought online! Standing in their way, however, is S-Mart's most famous employee, Ash Williams, and he is too loyal to allow looters inside!
THE LOWDOWN: Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department recently began providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles. One of them is DIE!namite Lives! Volume 2 #3, which is the first issue of this series that I have read. In fact, this is the first DIE!namite comic that I have read, although I've known of the series since it first began.
What can I say? DIE!namite Lives! Volume 2 #3 is fun. I didn't expect much from it, but I previously suspected that I could like a DIE!namite comic book because I enjoyed DC Comics DCeased #1 when I read it a few years ago. DIE!namite seems similar to DCeased. Here, writer Fred Van Lente offers a breezy read with just enough craziness to hold the reader's attention. I bet this series will really read nicely as a trade paperback.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of DIE!namite will want DIE!namite Lives! Volume 2.
