Comic Book Review: 28 Days Later - The Aftermath by Steve Niles

Finally we are left with "Quarantine," which supposedly leads right into 28 Weeks Later when it hits on May 11th. The story bring together one of the scientists from "Development" and a survivor from "Outbreak" in a camp that is supposedly being used for quarantine, though the residents there feel that it’s more of a death camp. What’s really going on and how does it tie into the movie? You’re going to have to get the graphic novel to find out.

28 Days Later: The Aftermath was pitched as a book that would bridge the gap between the two films, though in truth only one story takes place during that time frame which is really the only complaint I can level at the book. Well, that and that I really wish it were longer. There are a lot of stories that could be told in this world and Niles creates some interesting characters, so it’d be great to see more of them down the road. For now we’ll take what we can get, though

28 Days Later: The Aftermath is a great companion piece to the first film and will hopefully serve to both satiate and excite fans for the May 11th release of 28 Weeks Later which, from what we’ve seen so far, seems to be Fox Atomic’s breakout hit. Finally. The various artists used to create the book are well paired with their stories and Niles storytelling skills are in top form here. This is no one-off project for him, you can tell he really got into the 28 Days mythology and took it seriously. Recommended!

I think I'm one of two people I know who bought this book but I loved it though I would disagree that art for part three was best. Part 1 was by far the best art and story, followed by part 2.
