The Zombie Hunters is a online webcomic created, written and drawn by Jenny Romanchuk and it follows the life of some survivors of the zombie apocalypse - a life which has a lot more entertaining moments than I would have expected.

From its web page description: “The Zombie Hunters” is a comic which follows a team of zombie hunters as they go though life as survivors of the undead outbreak, earning their keep by collecting salvage, gladly trading the freedom of the wastes for the safety of the Argus Research Campus…

And it’s good - really good, professional level good, and free!

Jenny has created a unique world, with a unique spin on the Zombie monster which is very refreshing and entertaining.

The Meat

The character dialogue and responses to the various situations that crop up in this world are written fantastically, and I think realistically. The art is beautiful, dirty and gory and compliments the story perfectly.

The Zombie Hunters takes the undead horde that we all know and love and splits it into several different classes. The most stereotypical zombie class (our buddy from most zombie films) is known as The Crawler but this split has also introduced zombies with interesting twists - such as the Basilisk zombie who paralyzes their victims with a fear gaze and the Mercy Zombie - which… you will need to read the description for yourself.

The Bones

There is currently no way to buy the series off-line and that is very disappointing - I certainly will be buying a copy if she decides to release it in book form.  - (4/4/2009) There is a book in the works!

The webcomic generally updates once a week, and while that is the norm with webcomics and entirely expected when dealing with art of this quality - when the storys characters are stuck in a cliff-hanger situation (say, stuck on a rooftop swarming with zombies) for upwards of three weeks - waiting for the next comic gets exausting and frustrating.

This is not necessary a bone with the comic, as it boils down to me complaining that I can’t read all the comic - right now - but there you go.

Why are you still here?

Hockey zombie is a comic about just that - a hockey player who is suddenly turned into a zombie after a strange encounter in the underworld.

He then returns to earth and attempts to fit Hockey, drinking beer and not eating peoples brains into his unlife.

The comic story arc is not updated anymore - but new unrelated comics are periodically released on the site. The discontinuation of the main arc is disappointing as i really enjoyed the story and it ended very abruptly.

Inspired by Sean’s xkcd post, here’s are some links to another webcomic, Bunny, that has featured zombies in the past.

The image above is a detail of Always Prepared for the Zombie Invasion. There is also the earlier Bun of the Dead.

Whats this? (I hear you ask) a webcomic? Well, its our goal to document all zombie sightings and this includes the occasional drawn corpse.

xkcd is a humorous comic about life, the universe, everything and today - Zombies.

I seriously recommend you take a look and go though the xkcd archives and make sure you read the mouseover text!
