Zombie porn. Or is it porn with zombies?
Either way, the first volume of Crawlspace is one of the most unusual examples of genre blending you’re likely to read.
Of course, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Creators Rick Remender, Tony Moore and Kieron Dwyer deliver what the book jacket so cleverly calls “Boogie Nights Of The Living Dead” as the action at a 1970s porno movie set overlaps with the chaos of the city of Los Angeles being overrun by the walking dead.
Full of over-the-top violence, gratuitous nudity and everything else you’ve come to expect from both horror and porno flicks, XXXombies is wrong in just the right way.
