The cover blurb on this 12-page half-sized b/w minicomic describes Zoir! as "A zombie-detective-noir comic with possible super-hero-like action".

Intriguing start to this tale of revenge beyond the grave. The protagonist is a zombie with his mind (brainnnn!) intact. Jack is one of a group of zombie slaves brought back from the dead by an evil preacher, but as things turn out, he's not as controllable as the preacher had hoped. In fact, things very rapidly get out of control. This is just the opening segment of the story, but it's told very effectively and it's distinctive enough from standard zombie fare to raise my curiosity.

Rating: 7.5/10

This is the (lucky!) 13th installment of Comic A Day, and the closest I've come so far to missing one. Started reading and reviewing at just about 11:00 PM. Posting at 11;20 PM. The next four days will be challenging since I'll be at a convention. More on that in my next post!
