About this deal

Peter Richardson: Anyone who gets excited for experimental, dark, or alternative comics. Like the movies that inspired it, the comic is aimed to be more of an experience than anything. I think the art may have a lot of appeal for fans of Junji Ito, Tokyo Ghoul, and others. While arthouse horror fans may find the dark story and atypical delivery something to sink their teeth into. As someone who has been a long-time fan of Richardson's clothing brand, I felt like this work was not necessarily bad, but also did not fit my preferences and is *not for everyone*. It clearly had a lot of consideration and effort, and is something I would have on my coffee table to share with those I feel can handle the book and enjoy the art as I do. A lot of the story feels confusing, clashing, and the pacing is off. I find this to be because it was previously a Webtoon, which can be difficult to translate directly into a manga. Greenwald, Andy (24 December 2003). "Research: Trend of the Year: Mainstreamo" . Retrieved 2003-12-24.

Unfortunately, this graphic novel was all style and very little substance. I shouldn’t have been surprised since this is a tie-in to a clothing brand seeking to appeal to anime and manga fans, but I was hoping for a little more from it. The author mentions in the afterword that he was inspired by classic Japanese cyberpunk films and I can definitely see the influence, it provides some context for sure for the experimental style, but I don’t feel that it translated well to the far shorter comic format. The story is almost nonexistent and rushes from scene to scene, the plot beats are explained in just a few short panels before moving on to the next character. What little story there is makes little sense, and the characters feel paper thin. So, Zombie Makeout Club is a webtoon series, a clothing line, and now you’re bringing the series to comic shops this October. But for those not familiar with your work, what can you tell us about Zombie Makeout Club? Chen, Adrian (17 February 2013). "When the Internet was for strangers". Salon . Retrieved 2017-02-08. Peter Richardson: Since this was my first attempt at a comic, I wanted to work with a small cast. Each character is definitely a bit punk or anti-conformist in their own way. Each definitely has plenty of quirks. There aren't any straightforward characters with typical motivations here. Everyone, outside of the main antagonist, has a reason for wanting to die. So definitely not your average bunch.The art is gorgeous, and incredibly unique. You recognize it immediately if you've ever seen Zombie Makeout Club before. Hoffman, Kevin. "The Underwear Underground". Archived from the original on March 10, 2008 . Retrieved 2004-03-24. The inspirations and the feeling of the book, especially towards the ending (the part with the crow) feels very poetic and comforting, like a warm bath after getting into a fight. This is a compliment for the manga being bittersweet. Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. We are also introduced to the other characters in the manga though it was confusing. The chapters were short and kept jumping to introduce all the characters so I had trouble following the main plot line because it was all becoming a bit of a jumble. I did have to re-read some chapters to make sense of the plot.

TW: This content contains mentions suicide, near SA, a lot of gore, body horror, and a whole lot of death.*! Hankins, Dewayne. "You better not pout, you better not cry". Archived from the original on November 21, 2007 . Retrieved 2001-12-10.

Translated by Fans

We talked with series creator, Peter Richardson, about the upcoming graphic novel collection and more! I’m not entirely sure what I expected going into this, but it’s not what I got. Zombie Makeout Club sounds like something out of Tina Belcher’s erotic friend fiction. What I learned, after reading the entire manga and then doing some googling, is that Zombie Makeout Club is a brand of clothing sold at places like Hot Topic and Spencer’s, catering to fans of manga and Junji Ito. The story itself is called DeathWish. Kelley, Trevor; Simon, Leslie (2007). Everybody Hurts: An Essential Guide to Emo Culture. USA: HarperCollins. p.256. ISBN 978-0-06-119539-6.
