Graphic Novel Review: Membrane: Book One By Michael Broom
When I received Michael Broom‘s debut graphic novel “Membrane” I was extremely excited. You see, I’ve been following Broom’s social media accounts since I interviewed him back in 2017 about his work with KNB and on “The Walking Dead”. The incredible artist has been teasing the graphic novel and his children’s book “Sky Rats” and its sequel for a while. I’m glad to finally have the book in hand. The novel follows a military man turned criminal Called on by the government to go on a mission to another dimension, tasked with retrieving another soldier. When he arrives in the nightmare dimension his long journey begins across an alien landscape filled with strange creatures. The forward is written by none other by Greg Nicotero (“The Walking Dead”, “Creepshow”). Bio-organic flying creatures that provide light, a sword that is virtually alive, and cemeteries whose inhabitants don’t like being disturbed; Membrane has the ability to redifine everything that we have ever imagined

Movie Review: ‘Eat, Brains, Love’
Rodman Flender (Idle Hands, ‘Scream: The TV Series’) brought Gunpowder & Sky, ALTER, DIGA Studios, and Full Fathom Five’s zombie rom-com Eat, Brains, Love to viewers digitally on Valentine’s day. The flick, based on the novel of the same name by Jeff Hart, follows stoner loser Jake, and cheerleader captain Amanda after they become zombies and are on the run from a government organization that uses Psychics to find and kill Zombies. The problem is, one of the best psychics in the organization is falling in love with Jake. There are spoilers ahead but if you just want my final thought you can scroll down to the end. SPOILERS AHEAD! The film is told through narration by Jake (Jake Cannavale) and the psychic teenage government worker Cass (Sarah Yarkin) which at times also doubles as an inner monologue. Jake contracts a zombie virus, which in the film is sexually transmitted, and changes into a zombie in a crowded cafeteria; he’s
