Story

Without any spoilers at all, the story can be summed up as carnage and mayhem in the most 80s pop way imaginable. The disaster is spreading and all the characters are doing what they can to survive with varying degrees of success.

The dialog is very smartly written with snark thrown in. So you're getting a comic that's not only clever but will make you laugh, despite the high amounts of gore and violence being thrown at you left and right.

Art

The art in this comic has a charm about it that's reminiscent of cartoons around this time and the 90s as well only much better detailed. The violence has this really meaty look to it where it looks like it really is extreme as the comic is trying to make it. The colors are great in this issue as well. It's something that caught my eye as it is not done in any traditional way and mixes two kinds of medium that creates a sort of gritty effect on the art which is perfect for a horror book.

Verdict

The Night of the 80s Undead is the dream of any old school horror fan and all the 80s references and funny dialog are icing on the cake. With even more delicious, sweet icing with the unique art style this comic boasts. I give Night of the 80s Undead a 9.5 out of 10. Just be sure you can handle the violence and brief nudity.

Match of the Month #4: Lego Deathmatch

I know what you're thinking, a lego deathmatch? That's real? Yyyyup and we have Inter Species Wrestling to thank for that. Also, this isn't JUST a lego death match but a fans bring the lego death match.

I honestly don't know too much about the participants other than Stinky the Homeless Guy was an awesome wrestler before he died due to cancer and now every year the promotion helps put on a show known as "Fighting Back: Wrestling With Cancer" in his honor. From what my Wrestle-Cast partner, Matty Jay, has told me he was damn good and this match does nothing to disprove that.

All of the back story of why this match is happening is filled in quite well by the commentary team so yay, there's something I don't have to do. Speaking of them, they're quite hilarious. If you've ever watched PWG then you'll like this a lot. Also, not PG. At all.

Without further delay, here's is your FANS BRING THE LEGO DEATH MATCH between Flip and Stinky the Homeless Guy from ISW "4 Years of This?!" in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
