The first thing you need to know is that this is in no way, shape or form a zombie book. This is a contemporary graphic novel about the employees of Jog Mobile, and the first issue (and cover) are only playing around with zombie tropes.

That out of the way, this was really fun! The characters are (on the whole) likable but not particularly memorable, at least not yet. They definitely have room to grow on me in future volumes, though. There isn't much of an ongoing plot, it's more just slice-of-life as you watch these poor people deal with the shitty customers that come through.

Honestly, this is lowkey a love letter to retail workers. It's like it's saying to every retail worker "we acknowledge your bravery and you deserve more than your shit job". In between issues there would be stories submitted about terrible retail experiences, which were mostly funny but also a bit sad because humanity is the Worst.

This was a really fun graphic novel with a nice art style, fine characters, and (unfortunately) a pretty relatable premise. Definitely one to look out for :)

I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
