(The) Zombies by Stefano Labbia.

(The) Zombies, the comics series created by Stefano Labbia, explore the bleak and gritty world of a post-apocalyptic society by revolutionizing the genre horror. Taking place in a world overrun by the undead, the comics follow the adventures of two Special Detectives, Arthur Bennet a veterane Detective, and the young Detective Joanne Monroe. The two are members of a special section for human crimes. Monroe and Beckett end up investigating on homicides, kidnappings and crimes of various kinds committed by the survivors. Through its compelling storytelling and visceral artwork, (The) Zombies comics provide a thrilling and merciless glimpse into the harsh reality of human crimes in a world apparently without law and order.

The comics' setting takes place in a world where the zombie apocalypse has ravaged mankind. The survivors are left to navigate through a world that, despite a central govern, seems ruled by the strongest and the cruelest. The zombies are not the only threat as humans preying on each other create more fear and insecurity among the survivors. As a result, violence and crime become the norm in this world.

The F.O.R.C.E., the nucleus of Special Detectives, represents the last standing hope for the survivors, trying to make it through the zombie apocalypse. They are the light in the dark, trying to bring justice in a world that has gone into complete chaos.

The portrayal of human crimes in (The) Zombies comics is done in a realistic and unflinching way. The survivors are driven to commit heinous crimes in the name of survival. The people who the survivors thought they could trust become their most significant threat, as they will do anything to survive.

The story explores the effect of the apocalypse on society, showing how the once law-abiding citizens have turned to crime in order to survive. The series also depicts the rise of new criminal empires, created to take over the new lawless world.

(The) Zombies comics series is not just about the survivors' struggles with zombies and criminals. It also addresses the theme of morality in a world where the old rules no longer apply. The ethical framework that existed before the apocalypse becomes obsolete, and characters must decide where they stand on issues such as loyalty, justice, and betrayal. The series challenges readers to think about what they would do in a world where they must choose between survival and doing what is right.

The gritty, stylized illustrations perfectly capture the sense of grim desperation that defines the post-apocalyptic world of the series. The series also features cinematic action scenes that are intense and thrilling, keeping the readers on the edge of their seats.

The storyline is fast-paced and intense with twists and turns that keep the reader on the edge of their seat. The comic explores themes of survival, community, sacrifice, and the price of humanity in a post-apocalyptic world.

The artwork in (The) Zombies comics is stunning and perfectly captures the dark, gritty atmosphere of a post-apocalyptic world. The zombies are grotesque and terrifying, while the characters are drawn with incredible detail and depth.

In conclusion, (The) Zombies comics series provide a terrifying and raw look into the human nature of crime and survival in a post-apocalyptic world. It highlights the importance of morality and ethics while exploring how far people are willing to go when put in extreme situations. The story is a reminder that in a world where everything has gone horribly wrong, human crimes can be as dangerous and terrifying as the zombies roaming around. (The) Zombies comics is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a thrilling story set in a world that has gone mad.
