Chaos Campus: Sorority Girls vs. Zombies created by B. Alex Thompson
“Higher Learning, Part 2 of 4”
Chaos Campus: Sorority Girls vs. Zombies is the long-running zombie apocalypse comic book series from Approbation Comics. Mixing in elements of comedy, horror, adventure, and magic, it is the creation of B. Alex Thompson. The series is set during a zombie invasion and follows the adventures of three members of the sorority, Epsilon Alpha Zeta Upsilon (EAZY): ass-kickin’ Jamie Lynn Schaeffer, brainy and magic-wielding Paige Helena Patton, and sexy goddess-type Brittany Ann Miller.
The current story line is “Higher Learning.” It is written by Thompson; drawn by Ricardo Mendez; colored by Alivon Ortiz; and lettered by Krugos. In this story arc, Paige is reunited with her father, who also happens to be the villain, Tech Locke.
Chaos Campus: Sorority Girls vs. Zombies #34 opens in the “Campus Survivors Compound.” Paige's mother, Morgan, wants the group to have a really good plan of action before they launch an attack on Tech Locke's compound to retrieve her daughter.
Elsewhere, in the stronghold, Paige battles her sister for Tech's amusement, and this leads to a reunion with an old (and thought to be dead) rival, Mitzi Peterson. Later, Jamie engages in some gladiatorial combat and has some reunions of her own.
THE LOWDOWN: After bringing “The Road to Salvation” story line to an end and delivering a series of standalone stories, writer B. Alex Thompson turns the focus of Chaos Campus' narrative eye to Paige Helena Patton. The fun thing of that, especially for regular readers of Chaos Campus is that this story arc means a return of favorite characters that have been absent for several issues or even longer.
Ricardo Mendez's art and graphical storytelling deftly mixes the magic and the reunions. Mendez also conveys how important this story arc is both in terms of Paige's development and in her personal story and in terms of how the story affects the future of the series.
Alivon Ortiz's good coloring continues to bless Chaos Campus, and his dazzling color effects for the last few issues just pop off the page. Letterer Krugos continues the steady beat of this series, as he carries readers through the narrative. I heartily recommend Chaos Campus #34, so go back and get #33, if you have to, as you prepare for the rest “Higher Learning.”
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of zombies and of horror-comedies will want to try Chaos Campus: Sorority Girls vs. Zombies.
