iZombie #7

Written by Chris Roberson

I somehow managed to miss this comic when it came out last week, which is a shame, because I, Zombie is becoming a favourite title.  This issue launches a new story arc, with Gwen having trouble finding a new brain to eat, since someone has been stealing bodies from the morgue.

While she spends a lot of time worrying about the effects of going without for so long (it affects her memories of her life), Ellie hangs out with Amon, and Scott makes a new friend.  Horatio and Diogenes square off against the vampire sect, and Galatea, a new character, is introduced.  There's no sign of the grandfather chimp, who I was looking forward to seeing again.

Roberson has filled this comic with a large cast, and I admire the way that he is able to give each of them something to do with each issue, and still find the space and time to advance his plot.  Allred's work is always divine, and this issue is no exception.
