Reviewer Comments:
Coming in at the second issue, I had some catching up to do, but I got there pretty quickly. Pogrom takes place in a the future gone awry. Notably the Exclusion Zone aka the former Washington DC, which was quarantined and bombed out several years prior. Of course, nothing is as it seems, as Pogrom soon discovers.
This book is written a heavily narrative style from the perspective of Pogrom, which seems natural since he's new in his "body" and a lot of the development is introspective. This is a nice contrast to the action going on visually. The art in this book does a good job of depicting the gritty and harsh future world that this book inhabits. By the way, lots of fun gore, and if you like piles of zombies (literally), this is your book!
