#720 Back Issue Comic Reviews: The Cosmic Longbox Presents Zombies!

The Two-Headed Nerd Comic Book Podcast

Welcome to THN's 13TH ANNUAL HALLOWEEN (METAL?) SHOW! Yeah yeah...we know what you're thinking: the Metal Show went away for a few years when we were worried about Apple cracking down on our music use, and when we brought it back in 2020 we stopped counting. And yeah, while it's true that Matt didn't actually use any metal music in the show this week, 13 is a spooky number and tradition matters dammit! In this, the SCARIEST episode of the year, the Cosmic Longbox has demanded EIGHT BACK ISSUE COMIC REVIEWS featuring the living dead. And, as a special bonus, we discuss the FIRST zombie comic ever made (we think)! We'll judge these issues with THN's "Buy It," "Skim It," or "Leave It" rating system, which is terrifying in its own special way. There's no time to waste...IT'S ZOMBIE COMIC REVIEW TIME IN THE ZIGGURAT!
