Like I said, it illuminates some of the backstory, just as the movies (especially the second one) illuminates the graphic novel. But something goes horribly wrong. This comic was made to fill in the gaps between the movie "28 Days Later" and its sequel "28 Weeks Later." The fourth and final part brings these characters together in the quarantine, where they learn about each other and try to figure out what's happening to their country.
For that matter, seeing the second movie first kind of illuminates the events of the graphic novel.
Some of the art is really good, especially in the first and third stories, but the writing throughout is incredibly slight even for a comic book. So that was a bit annoying. There was an error retrieving your Wish Lists. 28 Days Later Vol 3: Hot Zone: Hot Zone (3). Read this in a couple of hours after picking it up on a whim from the library.
After it had sat on my Amazon Wish List for several years I really should have realised this was a comic strip book!
[return][return]So what IS the graphic novel about? Then you can start reading Kindle books on your smartphone, tablet, or computer - no Kindle device required. I was expecting something closer to the movie adaptation, but alas, I was disappointed.
Also, I had a problem with the fact they used different artisits.
Don't know why it's called Aftermath...this is a prequel story to 28 Days Later. There are no discussion topics on this book yet. Niles's scripts (one of which is included as a bonus text feature) show the creation of the virus by ethically challenged researchers, describe its uncontrollable spread as zomboid mobs wipe out most of humanity, and question whether the survivors deserve to survive. The book does demonstrate why it's a bad idea to switch from artist to artist in the middle of a comic. and Act 1 dove tails into the conclusion of Act 4. The story is told in four parts beginning with two scientists working on their latest project on-a drug that will stop uncontrollable rage. Again, this was found in my perusal of the graphic novel section of the library. Two idealistic scientists unwittingly developing the deadliest virus the world has ever known...A family making desperate choices as they struggle to survive the Infection's initial outbreak...A lone gunslinging survivor battling the Infected in a decimated London...Four original tales chronicling the greatest horror humanity has ever faced come together in a bloody conclusion as terrifying as the Rage Virus itself.
The overlapping characters work quite well, but overall the book is too short to really develop them into anything interesting. Like most of the readers of this graphic novel, I purchased this thin tome as an admirer of the film franchise. Will their salvation come in the form of a rescue, or an over-zealous American army determined to eliminate anything left alive?
If "28 Days Later" the movie is the main course, then this graphic novel would be the cookie you might have as a pre-bed snack.
No, you don't have to read this in order to comprehend the gap between the two flicks. Clive and Warren are scientists trying to find a cure for the rising violence among men. I liked that it explained how the Rage virus was created (trying to nullify the rage emotion with a pill that is then thought to be able to be distributed on a massive scale in airborne form, which turns to Ebola: Surprise, not a good idea to mess with Ebola!) This graphic novel follows the plot of the original hit horror film 28 Days Later but takes a behind the scenes perspective of not only how the outbreak spread so quickly but follows the micro-stories of several people throughout various stages of the outbreak. If you enjoy the franchise so far (meaning the first and/or second movies), then you'll most likely enjoy this graphic novel. There was a problem loading your book clubs.
With mounting horror, I feel my own blood boiling with rage, the madness having taken over my own nervous system. There's no revelations outside of how the virus was created and what happens to the researchers and how London was infected (though really: the first movie/28 Days Later already had a decent reason for showing the infection but I guess this is "Cambridges" infection point?)

Gruesome rules in this horror collection.

This isn't as good as the other 28 days later comics, but it is an interesting tie-in for fans of the movies. I was really interested in that some people said how engrossing it was and how it offered some really great insights into the period between the virus outbreak and the start of the movie. As I sit, helpless, they shamble closer and closer, their unspeakable faces twisted into hideous grins, their withered hands groping the air for their next victim. There are 4 chapters with the final one acting as a sort of prequel to the second film. Your recently viewed items and featured recommendations, Select the department you want to search in. It takes place behind the scenes of the creation and outbreak of the rage virus that permeates the story of the movies. Despite the title, the four stories actually are set before or at the same time as the action of the 2002 film about the horrifying consequences of a manmade virus that infects humans with mindless rage, turning them into carnivorous brutes who infect others by spewing virus-laden blood.
That in and of itself wasn't a bad thing, but when I reached the part where all the characters met up, I didn't recognize them from their original renditions, because a different artist was drawing them. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. The characters reappear in the stories, but they look different.
But if you're also addicted to "the infected", it'll sate you fine. Some of the art is really good, especially in the first and third stories, but the writing throughout is incredibly slight even for a comic book. Worth the cash, if you're a fan.
As dedicated readers already know, some of the best and most innovative stories on the shelves come from the constantly evolving realm of...

The twist to this story is there's someone else in the city doing the same thing, and the two men don't play well together. and Act 1 dove tails into the conclusion of Act 4.
