Action Lab - Danger Zone

It's the 4 year anniversary celebration, and the Death of Zombie Tramp event is in full swing with a battle royale featuring Black Betty, Dollface, Vampblade and more! The epic 50th issue spectacular has an extra-length story that changes everything!!

Features 3 regular and risqué variants, including two covers from series creator Dan Mendoza (DollFace)!!

It Was a Bit Too Much!

Warning: The following comic has extreme violence, gore, frontal nudity, and makes very frequent use of profanity. This may not be recommended for the overly devout, the overly sensitive, the weak hearted, or your Great Aunt Susan (you know, the one who lives alone with all the cats.)

All in all, I don’t think it was a bad comic. In fact, Vampblade made an appearance. (I can get into some Vampblade.) In hindsight, with a name like Zombie Tramp, I should have been a little more prepared. This was the fiftieth issue, part two of “The Death of Zombie Tramp”. There is a lot going on in this one. Janie Belle, the Zombie Tramp, has become the prophesied savior of an army of the dead. Her plan seems to be nothing less than world domination. She must be stopped, but can she be? Find out in this issue!

The cover with the promise of an extreme battle.

Janey Belle is Zombie Tramp. She’s not a typical zombie. She get’s her power from the Necronomicon {Or the Book of the Dead). She can change form, has a soul that can jump from body to body, and has her own zombie army! She’s bad and she owns it! Trust me, she’s got plans and things are about to get real dark really quick. In the comics that lead up to this one. Janey’s darkness seems to be on the incline. She seems to be getting darker and eviler by the issue. She’s actually reveling in her evilness. (Yeah, I said reveling. I definitely saw some reveling.) Her crossover from antihero to world-threatening villain was in full swing in this issue, but one gets the impression that it had been a long time coming.

Vampblade having a flashback

Needless to say, the Zombie Tramp battles it out in this issue with Vampblade, Dollface, Black Betty, and other characters from the Action Labs universe. If an extreme battle with lots of gore between comic book Femme Fatales and zombie hordes and their queen is what you’re looking for, then this may be the comic book you don’t want to miss!
The artwork and colors are big and bold with lots of greens and purples. The tone of the comic art seems most appropriate for its’ subject matter. There’s a lot going on so I would recommend reading the previous five issues before reading this one. If you’re not familiar with the other characters in the Action Labs Universe you might get a little lost, but they fill in some of the back story. 

eep. (There were three but the zombies ate half of one. Gross

Personally, I give it two and a half sh!)

Action Lab: Danger Zone
Zombie Tramp begins her new ongoing adventures, learning more about her growing supernatural abilities while traveling the seedier streets the US has to offer… and what better place to start off than Sin City! But can Janey survive her encounter with the “King” of the Las Vegas sex trade? Collects the first four issues of the wildly popular sexy and dangerous new ongoing series.

128 pgs./FC/ Mature Readers $14.99 USD

Zombies are not sexy. I mean, have you seen 'em? Blech. About the only way you could make a zombie into a sex symbol is through some weird kind of magic to take the rotting flesh away, or at least disguise it with a veneer of regular, non-peeling skin. And that's exactly Dan Mendoza has done with Zombie Tramp.

Janey Belle used to be a high-priced call girl living the life in Hollywood, but then she ran afoul of the undead and wound up one. After running across more than her fair share of fellow zombies of the good, bad, and ugly varieties, Janey finds herself in possession of a Necronomicon that gives her the inside track on keeping one step ahead of those that want her dead or under their control.

This is apparently the third outing for Zombie Tramp, but having not read the two previous series, I didn't feel too out of the loop. Thanks to the free #0 issue from the middle of last year, I managed to pick up just enough backstory to catch up and hop on the bandwagon.

As it stands, the setup is really easy. Zombie Tramp is a wayward soul, literally and figuratively, roaming the countryside akin to the old Incredible Hulk did on 70s TV. Only difference being, Banner turned green when he got angry and strived to do good for those in need. Zombie Tramp is a bit greenish all the time, except when she uses an incantation to look a little less decomposed. And her motives are far less altruistic than the Hulk, as she doesn't hesitate in munching on the brains of passersby if they so much as look at her funny.

The pulpy action is at a high level with this series, which features an amorous Elvis impersonator, sex trafficking siblings, werewolf bikers, and sex-starved nerds. Oh, it's all in this series, all right.

Raunchy? Yup. Irreverent? Of course. Arousing? No comment.

I suppose if you're looking for a series that doesn't play so fast and loose with magic system and world building, you might be turned off with Zombie Tramp. I mean, if Janey was a hooker turned zombie and just that, there'd still be plenty to toy with for subject matter, but the magical elements see her body being mulched and her spirit possessing random passersby--as long as their hot, 'cause she has standards after all--and the book of spells she carries around seems to have a deus ex machina for every occasion.

It gets weird, that's for sure.

But if you're looking for a wild, take-no-prisoners, romp through a grindhouse wonderland, then Zombie Tramp should feel like it was custom-made just for you.
