"For one day in rural central Wisconsin, the dead came back to life. Now it's up to Officer Dana Cypress to deal with the media scrutiny, religious zealots, and government quarantine that has come with them. In a town where the living have to learn to deal with those who are supposed to be dead, Officer Cypress must solve a brutal murder, and everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect" -- from publisher's web site.

I'm on the edge of my seat! It looks like I'm about to be $70 poorer, because I really need to know what happens next. This has action, surprises, mystery, and humor, along with great art. It made me both gasp and laugh out loud. It also has truly strong, human female protagonists - yeah, they're all skinny and curvy, but they're streets ahead of the run-of-the-mill Strong Female Characters.
This was a very refreshing take on the “risen dead” concept. Not a zombie story, not even a horror one really, just a look at what the social impacts would be if the dead started being undead.
Revival is a fairly slowly-paced series, and that works really well given the rural setting. It feels like a Vertigo series, as well, with this volume mostly setting up the characters and the overarching plot, which means things should really start to get interesting in the next volume.
