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
The writing is solid. The story isn't dominating and balanced with real dialogue. There's a very emotional scene that plays out with the writing and the artwork and really showed that the two are syncing up.

This is definitely the best book of the Double Take releases this week and not only important to the series, but the universe it's taking place in. I don't recommend reading just one Double Take title. I think they're better read together and so if you can only afford to take a look at a few, make sure that Slab and more importantly Spring makes that list. --Dustin Cabeal, Comic B@stards
If you re looking for a book to begin your foray into Double Take Comics universe, then SPRING seems like a good choice. While Double Take Comics universe is shared with the classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD film, the books have expanded on a lot of the history of the time period, helping this book to really feel like a 1960's relic. The art has a style that reminds me of the time period, and is very well done: soft coloring lends for a bit more dimension, and there's some artful censoring. The 60's art-style aside, there's plenty to remind you of when this story is taking place. The front of the comic features a page of hit songs, movies, and TV shows from the 1960's, which is honestly a bit unsettling. The comic reminds us right away that this story is happening in 1966, which means about half of those icons that this page introduces us to probably will never exist in this universe. It's a strange thought that put me off balance, which I think is a good thing for a zombie-universe comic. By pulling me into this reality and reaching this realization, I felt a bit more connected to the story. --Travis Czap, ComicsVerse
