One of Us #2

Alex said in the intro to this that nobody bought his first issue. Nobody? Of course, I got both issues at the same time, so maybe that’s changed, but it really was a decent zine. This one is definitely better than #1, as there’s no filler to speak of, just good stuff. The main story in this is about a Ramones reunion show and the dead members of the band coming back as zombies. Throw in the entire museum getting turned into zombies when the sprinkler system hits everything in there and it’s hard to go wrong with that level of mayhem. Next is a disturbed dream comic about melting trees which has a wonderful level of surreality (spellcheck tells me that I made that word up, but I’m sticking to it) about it. I sampled the only other comic in the book, so you can decide for yourself on that one. Finally, he has a text piece about the sheer devastation that a moustache can cause. I think the guy can tell a good story and somebody out there should send him a buck or two so he doesn’t feel so alone. That and anybody who thanks their girlfriend for her boobs in the intro gets total support from me. Contact info is up there, ye swabbies!
