i bought this as a fan of the "tell 'em Steve Dave" podcast (which features both the writer and artist) i was not surprised to find that this was an incredibly enjoyable read with amazing art. i wont go in to the story or the characters, partly because im sure you can read these things elsewhere on this page, but mainly because this is such an enjoyable read i strongly suggest you go in to this book cold so that every single page is a wonderful surprise. my only mission now is to find a copy of WAR OF THE UNDEAD 2.

It's 1945 and Hitler's dead. The Red Army are swarming into Berlin with the Americans following closely. A Nazi officer gets a cryptic message to call a scientist in a gas mask and tell him to activate the plan. The action takes him to an underground lab where a man they believe to be a werewolf is shackled, Frankenstein's Monster is chained up, and the Prince of Darkness himself, Dracula, lies in his coffin with a stake in his heart. This is all part of a mad scheme where the Nazi scientist believes he can bring Hitler back into a superior immortal form using these three creatures and thus fulfil the prophecy of the Third Reich lasting 1000 years.
Not a bad story eh? Bryan Johnson does a great job of bringing these Nazi whackos to melodramatic life as well as setting up great action scenes between the three Universal monsters along with the Mummy, fighting off hordes of Nazi zombies. Walter Flanagan looks like he's having a great time drawing chained up corpse like figures being tortured, bleeding scars scoring their bodies as bullets, knives, and Nazi shaped ninja stars get hurled at our three unlikely heroes. There are several pages which look like they belong on the cover of a heavy metal album.
It's a very enjoyable, fun comic book that looks like the creators had as much fun making as it is to read. Who are the real monsters in this story, the Wolfman or the Mengele-like sadists? Is the message Johnson and Flanagan are putting out. There's a sneak peak at the sequel which oddly puts the release date as Winter '07 but I can't find any mention of it on Amazon or elsewhere. Shame, I would've liked to have read it. Here's hoping they get this monstrously awesome trio back to fight the aliens in another volume of... WAR OF THE UNDEAD!

We've all seen stories of Nazi's messing with the occult and even raising zombies to do their bidding. How do you raise the stakes? By adding Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolfman of course. These three are the good guys too. Not enough horror? How about a cameo by Jekyll and Hyde? Or the Invisible Man maybe? This is stuffed to the gills with classic horror goodness and despite the occasional jarring Godzilla quote it all seems to work very well. Oh and I almost forgot the Mummy. And Satan.
The plan is to resurrect Hitler so you get the obligatory - if clever and amusing - testicle reference. It is quite a brief romp but wraps up nicely and previews the sequel which promises to do for B-movie sci-fi what this volume did for B-movie horror. It does switch from film script to internal monologue halfway through but is cleverly written and engaging.
The art is mostly blood spattered panels but there are some exquisite gems such as Dracula's coffin bathed in eerie green light or faces lit by an orange flame. The stars are the various portraits of Hitler in the background inserting him into paintings of the renaissance, medieval and antiquity.
Over the top enough to warrant a Thumbs Up and to make me want to check out the sequel.
