And the winner of the best comicbook title of the month (possibly of all time) goes to… Zombie Tramp! What, you thought I was going to say Fantastic Four? Get real. This is the comic book your mother warned you about. Read it and go blind, then get the braille edition, it’s even more fun! Collecting the second story arc Zombie Tramp: Sleazy Rider is 128 pages of escapism.

Ignoring all the road safety regulations by not wearing a crash helmet, and hardly any other clothing Zombie Tramp is hitting the road somewhere east of the Grand Canyon when she stops to freshen up at a sweet little Mom and Pop place called Hell’s Hole.

Zombie Tramp is soon encounters a werewolf trucker, fight clubs and the kind of fast food outlets that are apt to put the customer at the very heart of their operation, to mention a few outstanding moments. Zombie Tramp, also goes by the name of Janey Belle, is some kind of supernatural Queen of the Dead kind of gal and anyone she kills she can resurrect as a zombie to do her bidding.

For those tired of the standard superhero fare, Zombie Tramp is the natural antidote. Funny, top notch art and a good old fashioned matey feel to the letters pages and fan input. Buy this collection, and then buy the previous one and look out for the next.
