Future Comics: Zombies Eat Republicans
by Serhend Sirkecioglu
-- Is this a potentially workable pay model for web comics?! OK, personally for me, Zombies officially went passe the moment Robert Kirkman appeared on The View, but that’s not deterring people from overdoing it. This web comic, I’ll let it slide 'cause it did more with the tired formula. Zombies Eat Republicans uses a scrolling format but where The First Word stops, ZER takes it further by incorporating sound and music (although looping, which can become annoying) and having the panels slide into place instead of being a static layout, making the read much more active. The comic employs a dragging command to move the story along; though the arrow keys are available, I suggest the mouse or touch for more control.Nice art: Zac Gorman
Gorman's art tumblr has quite a few little animated gifs that work as storytelling devices. Clean and nice.
