This was a weird comic. It felt like Brian Posehn and Gerry
Dugan had a nice focus going for the first half of the book. While some big
name presidents like Andrew Jackson and JFK go down pretty easily, it had to
happen. Not every Dead President can fit the boss-villain role. (I will say the
lack of They Might Be Giant jokes for James K. Polk did bum me out!)
It seems Abe Lincoln is one of the main villains, he gets
half the issue to himself. (Well, he has a small cheering section of
ineffective presidents). I like that it is so easy to get Honest Abe involved
in an MMA match. The villains’ plans have been hilariously vague, so seeing
them gather followers and get distracted makes a lot of sense.
I would have thought Adrian Van Lundgren was a real MMA
fighter. He gets a pretty important role both before and during DP’s fight with
Honest Abe.
Tony Moore seems to be having a good time with the book. He
gets to draw DP dressed up like Marilyn Monroe while he takes out JFK (Wade’s
favorite president). He also draws Posehn into the big splash page, so I’m sure
there are more cameos that I’m missing. I also like that Wade’s new president
slicing sword has provided Moore
with a whole new type of zombie gore for the printed page.
And President Taft flies around in a bubble bath. That too.
