I was fond of the Hardy Boys mysteries when I was a kid, and when I found that there was a new graphic-novel series - with a zombie-themed volume, no less - I had to give it a try.

Later: Not bad, with an intriguing little twist (the brothers are showing signs of independence - will this lead to a breakup?) and one rather dark element that I didn't think was handled very well given the intended audience. [Basically, a student who was treated like a nobody and who attempts to get some revenge by joining forces with the bad guys - and is killed by them. Our heroes barely seem to notice... Granted, in this format there's not a lot of space for dealing with casualties, but I'd have hoped for some sign that they regretted the situation a teensy bit.]

The main plot has to do with flash mob/zombie-walk fads - and with some criminals who decide to make use of the phenomenon for their own purposes.

I left this book on a bench in front of Marshall's in the Royal Ridge Mall at about 5. Hope the finder enjoys it!
