I’m not too sure if anyone has tried to combine the zombie and porno genre before, but it is certainly an entertaining hybrid.

Criminal Vol. 2
With its second story-arc it has cemented itself as one of the best modern books and, likely, as one that will long be regarded as an example of the medium's artistic potential.
