While it's a popular notion that the zine format died years ago, it's actually being kept alive on life support by a steadfast crew of people who refuse to give up hope, maintaining a constant bedside vigil. One of those people is Baltimore's Davida Gypsy Breier, and she's back with her latest project, the zombie-themed RIGOR MORTIS.
When I was heavily into zines, I was always into the film ones — way more than those sappy, pre-LiveJournal personal ones — and MORTIS wonderfully (and also quite slickly) hearkens back to that. Sure, many of us who have devoted way too many hours to horror will find it a nice little refresher, but, for those of you just getting into zombies and the living dead, MORTIS will be a great primer for you.
In the first issue, we've got reviews, an overview of Nazi zombie flicks, a cool little Tom Savini centerfold and Davida's best zombie moments of 2008. And it's all so well put together, with lots of great artwork that is poster-worthy. I'm not sure if issue #2 is out yet, but for $3 (or one MRE, LOL), RIGOR MORTIS is well worth your time and money, especially for you zombie newbies. —Louis Fowler
