\"\"Yes children, you too can be like James Farr if you try hard enough. Farr, who is currently hitting it bigger and bigger with his creation Xombie, is inspiration to all the fan boys out there who want their own cult figure beloved by horror fans, and all it takes is hard work, a creative idea, and talent. The comic book mini series “Xombie # 3” is the result of Farr’s creation, now a simultaneous success as an online cartoon, and a mini series for currently hip comic publisher Devil’s Due Publishing.<\/p>\n

Issue three sets down on Dirge and Zoe in the middle of a zombie infested forest they must attempt to escape. With the sabotage of an annoying bird, Dirge and Zoe now find themselves racing to home base where survivors lurk, and must attempt to outrun zombie zoo animals of all kinds trying to grab onto Zoe for consumption.<\/p>\n

With the power down at the home base, they have to find a way to restore it while keeping their own bodies in tact from the animals who will stop at nothing. Going into this in issue three was quite a burden considering I knew so much about the characters, but so very little about the situations, but I still had fun with the issue, and the chemistry between Dirge and Zoe keeps the story afloat.<\/p>\n

Farr keeps the issue drifting between menace and quirky situations on every page, and the tension between Zoe and Dirge on the road is quite compelling, especially since he’s finding it more and more difficult to control his hunger around Zoe. The art by Nate Lovett bears a startling resemblance to the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” comics from the nineties from Archie Comics, and it shows quite often in panels where Dirge is preparing to smack a zombie with his shovel, and nearly attacks Zoe.<\/p>\n

The comic is nonetheless sleek and entertaining, and I anxiously await the further issues of Dirge and Zoe in the “Xombie” miniseries.<\/p>\n
