The third volume of the adaptation of the video game series Plants vs Zombies includes a main story and a number of short stories.
In the main story, Dr. Zomboss and Neighborville itself will fight against the anti-bullying team. The Anti-Bullying Team itself is a group of disgruntled former students who did not have a good experience with Dr. Zomboss during their college days, and have returned to exact revenge. Of course, Neighborville’s youngsters Patrice and Nate, as well as Crazy Dave, also help defend the town from an even stranger horde of zombies than we’re used to seeing.
While the light, harmless fun that has characterized the series so far, the main story here seems a little thin over its three-issue length.
It’s full of the sudden appearance of unexplained plants that are common in games, and of course, the lack of any real threat of zombies that we’re currently expecting.
More successful are the short stories that follow the main story, especially those that experiment well with the series’ visual look (thanks to the use of different artists). The short format of these stories means they don’t overstay their welcome, and they tend to be cute little vignettes that work very well.
I feel like the format of this series doesn’t particularly appeal to older readers, so maybe I’m just not the target audience. Of course, I plan to read and review more volumes.
