Revue de presse

Mix one maverick comics publisher, a horror movie classic, a renowned video game company and some of the best oral storytellers from the popular The Moth Radio Hour and you have a pretty unusual mix for a new line of comics. You could also have a hit. -Rich Shivener, Publishers Weekly

Since its initial release in 1968, George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead has captivated audiences, and as part of the public domain, Romero's classic film has been re-explored in other stories over the years. Sometimes these projects are ill advised, but with its impressive expansion of Romero's zombified world, Double Take s new ultimate night of the living dead comic book series is a re-imagining worth reading. -Derek Anderson, Daily Dead

What began as a sequel of sorts to George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead has morphed into a unique creature that stands sturdily on its own two feet. For many of the ten individual-yet-intertwined series under the Night of the Living Dead: Revival label, only about 24 hours have passed since their stories kicked off last September in their respective first issues. Now those initial issues have transformed into something truly special, and like a baby growing at an accelerated rate, these stories are all grown up from where they started (which was a pretty damn good beginning). They have surpassed their original expectations and are now raising hell and having fun outside the playpen, making these #4 issues the best treats yet for readers. --Derek Anderson, Daily Dead

This series in particular just has that special something. The characters are interesting and I care about them. I care about Johnny a lot because I don't know what's going on with him, but I desperately want to. As far as story and presentation, Rise comes across as the most polished. --Dustin Cabeal, Comic B@stards

While reading Rise and the other first issues from Double Take, I had this overwhelming sensation of reading a comic for the first time... Obviously Double Take is a new company and their formula isn't 100% proven, but I can't stress enough that I felt like I was reading a comic book since I first got into comic books as an adult. To me this was a magical experience. --Dustin Cabeal, Comic B@stards
