“Nihilism Cubed”
Chaos Campus: Sorority Girls vs. Zombies is a comic book series from Approbation Comics and creator B. Alex Thompson. A comic horror series, Chaos Campus follows the adventures of three members of the sorority, Epsilon Alpha Zeta Upsilon (EAZY): Jaime Schaeffer, Paige Patton, and Brittany Miller.
On the night of the volleyball tournament between EAZY and its partner, Alpha Zeta Zeta, zombies invade the EAZY sorority house. The girls escape, only to discover that zombies have taken over The City, and the trio is probably humanity’s only hope to end this zombie apocalypse. Since their escape from the sorority, the girls have been on one crazy adventure after another, fighting dark forces that are strangely similar to horror movie scenarios (The Evil Dead, Hellraiser).
As Chaos Campus: Sorority Girls vs. Zombies #9 opens, the girls have escaped the clutches of their old buddy, muscular slasher Kurtis Kasey, and the demon named Winky the One-Eyed Monster. Now, they find themselves transported to a dimension where there are more zombies, and the only way to leave is to hop from one dimension to another – each one resembling the scenario of a classic arcade game. And waiting for them is the ultimate game with the demon Nihilism.
Although he is an independent publisher running what can basically be described as small press, Thompson has been quite resourceful in finding artists who are in sync with his comic book storytelling visions. Finding Cajo Majado is a coup. Majado has mastered composition, design, and storytelling to the extent that he is ready to draw for DC Comics and Marvel Comics. Majado’s style, a kind of melding of Kevin Nowlan and Jason Pearson, is wiry and rubbery enough to strike the right tone for “Nihilism Cubed’s” flights of fancy and shifting settings.
Thompson has produced another winning issue of Chaos Campus: Sorority Girls vs. Zombies and also found another winning artist.
