iZombie #15

Written by Chris Roberson

As much as I like iZombie, and the characters that populate it, it really doesn't feel like much has been happening in this comic since the page count dropped to twenty, and the Dead Presidents back-up began.  Spot is still stuck down the hole (which is like a reverse-Lassie kind of thing), although that hole turns out to be a series of ancient catacombs, which are both spilling zombies into the city, and portending doom - enough so that Amon even stopped playing skeeball to deal with it.

Gwen and Horatio have climbed down the hole to look for Spot, while the Dead Presidents have arrived in Eugene, and have also run into the zombies.

Roberson manages to check in with every single important character in this issue, which may be why it feels so short - with such a large cast, each getting a page or two of their own, there's little space left over for much plot advancement.  I'm sure this stuff is going to read better in trade though, and at the same time, I'd be disappointed if Roberson and Allred didn't show some of the cast members for a month or two.
