Loved reading this on Webtoons.
Cutesy Horror is always a guilty pleasure. It's a good silly comic to read when you're decompressing from life or a very turmoil filled book!

3.5 ⭐️

These are some funny two page shorts about a zombie girl and her friends. Really enjoyed the ones with her vampire friend especially when they joked on the fact that she was invisible in mirrors. I honestly thought there was gonna be dialogue but I totally missed the “wordless comics” memo in the description.

ZomCom'ics is a wordless comic collection that is sure to have you laughing out loud as you experience each of the comics funny moments. Each of the comics strips telling a funny short story of the characters shenanigans and hilarious experiences.

I have no words to describe this book (aha). It's so much fun to give your own voice to what each of the characters is saying at any given moment.

I had never heard of ZomCom'ics before so I really enjoyed the compilation of the comic strips as my first introduction. I had a lot of laughs and a lot of fun flipping through the comics. I'd recommend this to anyone who love to allow their imagination to come to life while reading.

Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

ZomCom'ics was a hilarious read ❤️ I have been in love with these comics for some time and getting to see them all together was great.

There were so many new ones that I haven't seen before and fall deeper in love. The book brings out a wide range of magical creatures and the crazy things they get up too. I highly recommend this book to those that love a mini Adventure on every page.

A cute wordless comic strip style book about the lives of a zombie girl and her friends. Mostly one page joke comics, it was a funny take on the supernatural.

This comic features the every day adventures of friends who are supernatural (werewolf, zombie), with merely the use of action rather than words. I thought this ARC was really cute and I loved the author's art style! (The werewolf and zombie girl's relationship was my favorite part of the novel)

I got this as an arc on Netgalley and it will come out in April. This was very funny. It's a non talk comics but the message and meaning was clear regardless. I enjoyed this immensely.

These comics are short and sweet and overall very funny! There were a few that I had to think for a minute to get and maybe one or two that I’m not sure I understood at all. I would love to see more from this series

netgalley ARC-
thought this was well executed and had some creative ideas! I found myself enjoying the wordless format more than I expected to. A low-stakes, funny collection :)

‘ZomCom’ics’ is a charming and visually stunning silent comic that blends the spooky with the adorable. Through a collection of short, dialogue-free stories, it delivers heartwarming and humorous moments with expressive characters and a beautifully illustrated supernatural world. The lack of words doesn’t take away from the storytelling - in fact, it enhances the experience, letting the art speak volumes.

Plot: ★★★★☆
Since this is a collection of slice-of-life and short adventure comic strips rather than a single, continuous story, the “plot” is more about the individual narratives within each strip. Each comic presents a self-contained moment - sometimes funny, sometimes heartwarming, and occasionally with a little eerie charm. There’s a wonderful balance of lighthearted fun and supernatural mischief, and while there’s no grand overarching storyline, the interconnected world makes the comics feel cohesive. Some strips are simple but delightful, while others hint at deeper worldbuilding that leaves you wanting more.

Character: ★★★★★
One of the most impressive things about ZomCom’ics is how expressive and lovable the characters are, despite the silent format. Each one has a distinct personality that shines through purely via body language, expressions, and interactions. Whether it’s the mischievous undead, quirky supernatural beings, or even background characters, they all feel alive (or undead, in some cases). You grow attached to them quickly, and even in short segments, they leave an impact.

Setting: ★★★★☆
The world of ‘ZomCom’ics’ is a delightful blend of spooky and cozy, filled with supernatural creatures, eerie locations, and a playful Halloween-esque atmosphere. The settings are varied and beautifully drawn, adding depth to the short narratives. It’s not an overly dark or scary world - instead, it leans into a more whimsical, comforting take on the supernatural, making it perfect for those who enjoy gothic aesthetics with a softer edge.

Illustration: ★★★★★
The artwork is truly the highlight of the comic. Garrucho’s illustrations are expressive, detailed, and bursting with personality. The use of clean lines, dynamic character designs, and well-thought-out panel composition ensures that every scene flows naturally. The balance of light and shadow, along with the charmingly spooky aesthetic, creates an atmosphere that’s both fun and immersive. Even without words, you can “hear” the emotions and actions just by looking at the panels. The art style suits the theme perfectly, and it’s clear that a lot of love and effort went into every detail.

Engagement: ★★★★★
Despite being wordless, ‘ZomCom’ics’ is incredibly engaging. The pacing is smooth, and each comic invites you to linger over the details, appreciating the expressions and tiny visual gags that might be easy to miss at first glance. It’s the kind of book you can pick up and flip through at any time, and each re-read brings something new to appreciate. There’s never a dull moment, and it’s easy to get lost in the world the creator has built.

Readability: ★★★★☆
For the most part, the storytelling flows effortlessly from panel to panel, making it easy to follow along. However, since it’s a silent comic, readers unfamiliar with the format might need a moment to adjust to tracking the visual cues rather than relying on dialogue or narration. That being said, the expressive nature of the characters makes it accessible, even for those new to wordless storytelling.

Enjoyment: ★★★★★
‘ZomCom’ics’ is an absolute delight to read. It’s cute, funny, a little spooky, and bursting with charm. Whether you’re in the mood for something heartwarming, something mischievous, or just a visually stunning escape, this comic delivers. It’s the kind of book you can revisit time and time again, and it never loses its charm.

A beautifully illustrated, delightfully spooky, and endlessly charming silent comic, ‘ZomCom’ics’ is a must-read for fans of supernatural whimsy. Emi Mena Garrucho masterfully tells stories without words, making each moment engaging and expressive. If you love gothic aesthetics, adorable supernatural creatures, and the magic of visual storytelling, this is a perfect addition to your collection.

This comic book was like a breath of fresh air, i liked it had no text or speech but if you paid attention to the art work there expressions even in a simplistic art style speaks volumes. I loved the facial expressions and how all the characters interacted with each other, i would recommend this book if you are in a reading slump to just get you back into liking books again as there's no words just understanding facial expresson's.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

These comics made me laugh out loud, go awww out loud and snort laugh all on the same bus journey. Seriously this is one of the funniest comics I've read in a very long time and will definitely be buying a physical copy when it comes out.

This was such an adorable graphic novel and unique in the way it was crafted. It was wordless which I didn't know going into but it somehow worked and didn't take away from the overall story.

Zom (a zombie), Ari (a vampire), and Theo (a werewolf) live in a world much like our own...but different. There, supernatural creatures live their lives (whether they're alive or undead), and try to survive the ups and downs of existence. (After all, even angels sometimes tumble off of clouds and end up falling right onto someone's windshield.) Join these roommates in their pursuit of friendship, good times, love, great photos, snacks, and tasty beverages (not just blood). This book is a like a big hug from your best pal, especially if your best pal happens to be a vampire, werewolf, or zombie.

This was so cute, I love how each story was told effortlessly through a collection of panels. No words necessary! Very Funny, Dark, and CUTE!!!

I loved the relationship between Ari Zom and Theo. Even though the comic didn’t have any words it was obvious that they all cared deeply about each other. I also liked the illustration style. I hope that’s there is a sequel.

I was fascinated by the idea of a wordless graphic novel, so I had to check this one out. It was definitely different.

This book is basically a bunch of short scenes that are only tangentially connected—the same characters appear throughout, but other than that the scenes are random. They don't form a coherent story, only offer readers multiple peeks into the life of three supernatural friends.

Interesting, different, and a quick read, but not really what I would consider a cohesive story. And, truth be told, I missed the text. However, I did find that the faster I paged through this one, the more I liked it, as the faster flipping between the scenes, created a fun sense of movement.

Such a cute read! I was a little wary about it being a wordless webtoon but I found the short-comic collection format very enjoyable. Zom & her friends are very likeable.
