Chaos Campus: Sorority Girls vs. Zombies created by B. Alex Thompson

“Penance”

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 series is written by Thompson.  It is currently drawn by Ricardo Mendez; colored by Alivon Ortiz; and lettered by Krugos.

Chaos Campus: Sorority Girls vs. Zombies #39 (“Penance”) opens in the wake of the sudden kidnapping of Worm and Nikki's newborn baby by an alternate universe version of the late Roger.  The damage done to the campus by the alternate universe versions of our favorite characters (“Alts”) has created multiple campus entry points for the zombies.  Now, the campus is overrun by zombies, and our heroes are barely holding their own.

But the zombie riot is interrupted by a family reunion.  First, Jamie's father returns, seemingly from the clutches of death.  Right behind him is Jamie's sister, the “Aqua Aimee,” sporting blue symbiotic armor.  What's going on?  And what does the Schaeffer family reunion mean for our heroes?

THE LOWDOWN:  Dear readers, we continue toward the conclusion of Chaos Campus.  This genre-busting series continues to surprise with shocking reveals and new characters, new old characters, and also the narrative-changing returns.

B. Alex Thompson continues to add unresolved subplots and cliffhangers, pushing us deeper into this chaotic series.  I truly enjoy how he uses his vivid imagination to continue to grow the universe in which this series is set.  His imagination is why it is hard for me to believe that Chaos Campus is coming to an end.  He can't possibly be running out of ideas.

Meanwhile, Ricardo Mendez continues to bring Thompson's world to life in vivid graphical storytelling.  Every issues seems to involve a cast of thousands, and Mendez expertly depicts the kind of large storytelling that Marvel and DC Comics churn out as big event miniseries.  Alivon Ortiz's sparkling colors and Krugos' lettering complete the storytelling, making it all pop.

It's easy to join the fun, dear readers.  The details are at the bottom of this review.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of zombies and of horror-comedies will want to try Chaos Campus: Sorority Girls vs. Zombies.
