iZombie #11

Written by Chris Roberson
Art by Michael Allred

This series has really developed a sitcom feel to it - one of those non-studio sitcoms like Dead Like Me I think.  In this issue, Gwen goes home and checks in on her little brother, who she is having trouble remembering.  They don't talk or anything - she just follows him around for a little while, while continuing to consider Amon's offer to help her keep her memories.

Amon, meanwhile, meets with Galatea, who outlines her intent to bring an ancient god into our world.  While this is going on, Spot introduces Ellie to his grandfather chimp, with the hope that she can help him to possess a more suitable body.  Also, Horatio negotiates a possible truce with the vampire paintball girls.

See?  Just like a sitcom.  I'm amazed at how many characters Roberson's managed to stuff this book with in such a short amount of time, especially considering how well-developed and fleshed out most of them are.  This is a great book, with fantastic Michael Allred art.  If you aren't reading it, you should check out the first trade, which comes out next week...
