Series Review: Zombie Tramp

Zombie Tramp - Action Lab Entertainment

I have been passing  by Zombie Tramp for a couple of months now, which is highly unusual for me, being a huge Zombie fan, but I finally broke down and picked up issue one and two, soon after reading the first two issues, I was hooked and rushed out to get the rest of the run.

Zombie Tramp is an impressive young lady who kicks the crap out of bad guys! Our undead heroine, Janey Belle, is a former Hollywood call girl, turned zombie. Janey is not your run of the mill zombie though; she can be killed, but she cannot completely die. 

Unlike the zombies in many stories today, when Janey is shot or takes one to the head, her body dies but her soul does not. Janey’s soul has the ability to jump to another body of her choice - preferably female bodies, since male bodies makes her sick. When Zombie Tramp makes the jump she retains the host body’s appearance at first, but that is short-lived as Janey’s original, and well-endowed, nature takes control. In issue three, there a few panels devoted to Janey’s transformation, particularly her chest. Artists Jason Martin and T.M. Chu made me chuckle with the sound effects that accompanied the “breast enlargement”. Hilarious!

Then there is Elvis. That’s right; a fat undead Elvis impersonator who is gaga for Zombie Tramp and will stop at nothing to get her. But the question is, does he really love her or does he just want to steal her ability to jump bodies? In addition to the body-snatching, Zombie Tramp can also absorb skills from people whose brains she consumes, which makes for many more fun scenarios.

Zombie Tramp is not at all what I thought it was going to be; I guess the title is what threw me off. But I have to say, I really enjoyed Zombie Tramp. It’s a great read and a lot of fun. The artwork is well suited to the story, consistent and understandable. Although it is a horror comic, Zombie Tramp does not contain over the top gore, except maybe the thing involving Elvis’s intestines and a helicopter rotor, but it’s cartoon gore and not that bad!

Check out Zombie Tramp today! Available now at White Dragon Comics.
