Ex-Heroes

Zombies and superheroes are two of the dominant myths of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and it feels like it should be one of those “chocolate and peanut butter” things, but it really isn't. The heroes don't really get a chance to be ‘heroic', in the way that superhero stories usually define the term, and a lot of the body horror and survivalist threat of the zombies ends up being stripped away as a result.

In addition, the book felt crowded, with characters that seemed interesting but whom we never really got to meet, and the plot made it feel at times like you were reading a report of someone's RPG campaign, rather than a novel.
