iZombie (comic)

Not sure how many issues in each volume - a lot. Vol. 1 introduces the reader to the entire cast and they have a couple of adventures. The reader doesn't know what the main character can't remember, so we find out together. If you like mysteries and the supernatural it isn't bad. It's NOT at all like the tv show - warning - it is NOT like the tv show. Amazon writes, "Told from a female zombie’s perspective, this smart, witty detective series mixes urban fantasy and romantic dramedy.
Gwendolyn “Gwen” Dylan is a 20-something gravedigger in an eco-friendly cemetery. Once a month she must eat a human brain to keep from losing her memories, but in the process she becomes consumed with the thoughts and personality of the dead person – until she eats her next brain. She sets out to fulfi ll the dead person’s last request, solve a crime or right a wrong. Our zombie girl detective is joined by a radical supporting cast: her best friend Eleanor, who happens to be a swinging ’60s ghost, a posse of paintball blasting vampires, a smitten were-dog and a hot but demented mummy". All in all, I say: READ IT - if you like comics.
Vol. 2 more of Gwen's past comes to light - we get new characters introduced. Amazon writes, "Told from a female zombie’s perspective, this smart, witty detective series mixes urban fantasy and romantic dramedy.Gwendolyn “Gwen” Dylan is a 20-something gravedigger in an eco-friendly cemetery.

Meanwhile, ghost-girl Ellie learns a few tricks from Amon the mummy; Spot the were-terrier goes to the comics shop and meets someone from Gwen’s past, the mad scientist Galatea engages in a bit of grave-robbing; and the monster-hunters tackle the town’s vampire problem once and for all". All in all, I say: READ IT - if you read one might as well know more and continue the adventure. 
Vol. 3 - gets a little out of control in the last couple issues - a full on zombie Apocalypse. A lot of secrets are unearthed. Amazon writes, "The continuing adventures of the undead detective Gwen and her ghost pal Ellie and were-terrier Spot, written by World Fantasy Award finalist Chris Roberson! This collection features the "real-time" storyline "5 Brains, 5 Months," which follows the team as they uncover mystery after mystery over the course of a five-month period". All in all, I say: READ IT - Gwen meets another girl like her!!!
