Dear Diary, My teen angst has a body count. iZombie is the new Zom-Com for The CW.

What's more meta than a zombie having a bad zombie dream?

- Liv Moore, S01E02 Brother, Can you spare a brain?

Ok, so I had to use the best line from Heather's for this, it just felt right! If you haven’t seen the TV spots yet, this new TV comedy/crime/drama series from The CW is the latest comic book adaptation to hit the small screen. This series echoes similar thoughts that are behind My Life As A White Trash Zombie by Diana Rowland. This is in fact a great T.V. serial that has really set a pace for itself.  With the obligatory gross out brain eating session, the gore is so far pretty low key its going for prime-time slots less late night horror.  There's a bit of a diary entry style narrative from our leading lady zombie, Liv Moore (Rose McIver); such a wonderfully poetic name for a zombie. There’s a couple of familiar faces mainly Heroes antagonist David Anders as Blaine DeBeers and One Tree Hill darling Robert Buckley as Major Lilywhite, Liv’s ex-fiance.

The show has quite substantially changed from its source material so far. With the lead artist Michael Allred from the original comic book series on board, providing the open credits art and the occasional sting, it ties in nicely. We’ll just have to wait and see whether or not it will follow the main plot of the original text and keep up its current rage-virus pace, or drag behind with the rest of the hoard.
