RevivalThis is even newer than Saga. Only two issues are out but I knew after the first it was one of my new favorites. A section of rural Wisconsin is quarantined after people begin to rise from the dead. Not like zombies, but something else—it’s not always clear who has risen from the dead. Small-town cop Dana Cypress has to deal with the living dead, religious crazies who have their own theories about what’s going on, the national media which is watching closely and something else completely crazy that happens in the first issue. This is a good time to mention that if you don’t read comics, reading this will give you an inkling of how violent, creepy, surprising and instantly engaging they can be. I don’t want to say anything else about this because I want you do be as weirded out and impressed as I was when I read it.
