Don't take it personal. We're all pretty lame around here when it comes to commenting on other people's threads. ;D
PS - But seriously, though...what am I looking at here? That website doesn't have any actual comic book pages to look at and/or read. From what I can see though it looks pretty fun.
PPS - Okay, I get it now. I had to use the back arrows to see the pages, which seems counter-intuitive. Anyway, I'll read it over later and let you know what me thinks. Not that that means anything.

yeah the website is getting pretty old now, planning on a complete revamp, better navigation ect. The reason it starts with the last page is because pages were being published each day, so the latest one was always the first to appear. thx

Just finished reading it. The artwork is fun and has a nice style to it. Not sure about the story. It's kind of straight forward and a bit cliche. I feel like zombies have been way over done these days (it especially peaked with that whole Marvel Zombies stuff, which I never read). And the whole apocalypse theme seems tired. I think if you're going to do something with zombies it really has to be twisted and taken to a completely different place. But even Remender kind of already did that with XXXombies.
So yeah, the artwork and coloring is nice, but the story feels cliche and empty, like I don't feel interested enough to keep reading it. If the book is going to be more about the artwork than the story, then you really need to take the visuals and the gore to an extreme place, even more extreme than it presently is.
So yeah, that's my two cents. Have you guys consider submitting this to Zuda Comics?

thanks for the review... between the story and more gore, I think I'll just try to up the gore and violence, since the story is pretty straightforward and more of an excuse to just draw zombies.
I started this story 10 years ago, on and off. When zombies were making a come back about 6 or 7 years ago, I thought it would boost interest in my little project. Instead, saturation made it seem like just another zombie cliche. The apocalypse theme I sincerely obscese over, moreso even than zombies, but I realize it isnt enough. I wanted to quit this and move on to something else but I couldnt leave this unfinished. I have about 50 more pages done, with another 30 or so to go for the conclusion. It's going to be published by Virus Comix as 3 books. I didnt even know about Zuda, will check it out, thanks again.

The cover of Ultra Gore is killer. I think it works really well with the colors. Your personal style looks pretty solid and reads as your work. I got to know your books when I colored the cover of Psycho Hunter #5 for Hart Fisher. Hart paid me in Zombie Commando's and Jeffery Damher comics, oh and OJ's big break out. Rock On

I tried to order the print copies but got several errors using Paypal. As if the html were fucked up coming from your site, going through Paypal. EDIT: Here is the error I get when trying to order the ZCFH graphic novel/sequel(apparently the order for the 1-4 issue set of the first series went through after all): DNS error occurred. Server cannot be found. The link may be broken. The link it is trying to get back to after I pay is: www.raisinlove.com/zombies/close.htmlWhich apparently does not exist. EDIT#2: Ok apparently the order went through teh second time or at least my inbox now has a confirmation of the order & payment.

I got a big screw up with my hosting a few months ago and things havent been so great with the technical side of things. I'm going to move all my websites to a new host and revamp them when I finally get time. I havent been getting my email notifications for orders and only just saw yours when I logged onto Paypal today Its shipping out tonight though! thank you.

You have no idea how great it is to hear stuff like this when you've been working on something for so long (the entire series I mean). I appreciate when people notice I try to bring a unique personal style to my artwork, even if its not to everyone's tastes. I cant wait for you guys to see PsychoHunter vs ZCFH! Oh and about the gore content, I realize it isnt high enough. I need to redraw some pages to up the ante.
