Hello and welcome to webcomic reviews with Decoy Elite. Today's webcomic: Dead Winter.
Dead Winter is kind of like what would happen if you mixed The Walking Dead and Scott Pilgrim. It's a surprisingly good combination, that leads to a fun little zombie webcomic that's almost sure to entertain.
Characters: Character wise I must admit Dead Winter is rather hit or miss, which most characters being quite forgettable. The main character is noticeably bland at first, but does get better as the webcomic goes on. Her blandness is also made up for with the introduction of one of the cooler characters I've seen, Black Monday Blues. Some of the other characters can get annoying, but not to the point that the comic is unreadable.
Art: The art for Dead winter is rather unrealistic, but well done. The comic is mostly black and white with the only objects shown in color being red. This makes the comic seem rather stylized and allows certain scenes to pop out well. The characters are all rather unique looking, so mixing up characters isn't much of a problem. Overall the art is rather good, above average webcomic wise.
Story: The story isn't too complex, although some mishandled flash backs do cause some issues and some action scenes end up rather muffled and hard to define(mostly because of the mass of zombies involved). The story isn't really likely to suck yo in, so the only reason to keep reading is to see what happens to the characters next. It's a basic zombie plot, although it does start off rather fast paced it slows down later on. Overall the story is the weakest part of the comic.
Overall Dead Winter is a fun zombie comic and a fun little read. If you're looking for something realistic and full of drama then avoid it. But if you just want to have some fun, check it out. I personally give it a 3.5 out of 5.
