ALL THE STARS

This comic is so amazingly funny and relatable. There isn’t any dialogue to go with the scenes, but it isn’t necessary with the way the author/artist portrayed each scene. It is truly a testament to how talented the creator is considering the emotion and humor is so clearly captured.

This isn’t a traditional story that follows a plot or narrative to keep your attention, but is instead a series of events that capture humorous moments in the lives of Zom, Ari, and Theo. And while some scenes don’t necessarily include one of these characters, they still follow the same theme.

What’s truly remarkable about this comic is the fact that it is so relatable to everyone, even if it is a “paranormal” version of the modern world, the situations are seemingly the same. What makes it even better is the inclusivity that is shown throughout the entirety of the comic. It’s truly amazing to see representation for just about everyone, and I’m sure that the creator will only continue to do so.

A big thank you to net galley for the ARC copy of this comic. I cannot wait to read more from this creator.

This book was such an enjoyable experience! Though it has no words, the story is beautifully conveyed through the artwork alone. It’s incredible how much detail, emotion, and expression are captured, allowing you to fully understand the narrative as the characters go about their everyday lives.

The storytelling through art is both fun and impressive, showcasing how much can be communicated without dialogue. Plus, the art itself is absolutely adorable, adding to the charm of the book. It’s a delightful read that proves pictures truly can speak a thousand words!

I was so drawn to the cover art of this graphic novel that I didn't bother learning anymore about it before jumping straight in. As a life long comic book/graphic novel reader my heart always does a little dance when I come across an indie release which is easily accessible to mainstream audiences. Zombies and comics though? What more could you want?

Well, to put it simply, we want more! More of this please!

Why I hear you ask?

The art style is glorious. With both human and zombie characters fitting into a one world seamlessly. The lack of dialogue/text throughout is just credit to the story telling and how beautifully each cell has been designed. I found myself laughing out loud and rushing off to find Emi Mena Garrucho's social media in hopes of enjoying more of their work.

I'll happily be recommending ZomCom'ics as it will easily appeal to any gender and any age. It was a true joy to read and I hope this is the start of a long series which will happily have pride of place on one of my bookselves.

This is a fun sweet palate cleanser graphic novel which is a very quick read. The three main characters have a cute dynamic and really make this comic enjoyable.

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this comic early in exchange for an honest review!

I have been a passive follower of Emi’s Zom comics on her Instagram for a few years now. I honestly had no idea that she was planning to release the in a physical book, but I can say I’m super excited! These comics are very cute, well planned, and done in a style that reminds me a lot of the modern Saturday Cartoon styles of Adventure Time, Bee and Puppycat, and Steven Universe. They also have the charm of a Sunday comic strip, with plenty of jokes and gags that adults with literature and media backgrounds will understand.

There were some of my favorites from her series in here, but a lot that I hadn’t seen as well, which was nice! I think there is a lot of potential to grow and continue here. I like the lack of dialogue, but maybe someday a comic or series will have dialogue. There’s just so much charm and life (pun intended) in these characters, you can’t help but fall in love.

This comic is definitely not my usual dramatic isekai but the feel-good story with comedic plot twists and adorable, expressive art is really nice. Plus, it's a pretty quick read and with every chapter something new happens so you'll never get bored because you never would've guessed what's happening next.

There's no dialogue in this and the story is told by the art itself through body language, facial expressions, context, etc. The best part is that I find background characters having their own little scenario going on which was equally as funny and cute.

To sum it up, it's just really good. You just can't go wrong with reading it ( • ̀ω•́ )✧

I remember reading this on WEBTOON and I’m so happy they are publishing it.

I love the art style. It’s pretty funny. I love the characters. It’s the comic equivalent of short chapters. ❤️ Over all it’s a fun, quick read.

I never thought I'd get sucked into a wordless comic, but here I am, adding this collection of one-shot wordless comics to my favorites. It's funny, it's poignant, it's snappy, it's witty. Emi MG has outdone herself with this collection. Every page flip leads into another scene with her adorably-drawn, excellently crafted characters and incredibly timely and well-planned humor. This will, hands down, be something I return to time and time again to relive the escapades of the little monsters she has created.

Thank you, NetGalley for an advanced ARC of this graphic novel 😊

This is a graphic novel that's told through the artwork alone with no words, the art is cute and I loved the style giving off a fun, quirky style.

I thought the book was really cute! I really liked the artwork and thought that was cool. I think the only thing that would have made it even better is if there was some dialogue. So there could be more of a red string through the hole book. But overall it was good!

Just as funny and wholesome as I remember them to be 100/10 I need to get my hands on a copy of this as soon as it's published.
