Has anyone read the iZombie comic series?

No way in the world she can be a zombie and she be attractive.....That's The CW for ya.

[Starman]

She's attractive in the comic, which is well worth reading ... it's really good and has art by Mike Allred.

The TV show ... eh. I was excited when it was initially announced, but then Rob Thomas said:

"We didn't hue terribly close to the source material," Thomas told reporters of the comic that also features ghosts and vampires. "In the comic, there's a whole monster universe ... and we wanted to stay strictly zombie. We really needed a story engine. We wanted a case-of-the-week show. In the comic, the character is a grave digger. By making her an assistant medical examiner and putting her in the morgue, it gave us our case of the week that we wanted."

Also:

"The center of the show is a zombie you can fall in love with," Thomas said. "A zombie you want to date. We were calling the show ZILFs. It helped me a lot that Warm Bodies had made it out in the universe and there was an example of a zombie you fall in love with. It gave us the confidence to say a zombie can be a hero of our show."

ZILFS.

On a network where even excellent genre shows like "The 100" can struggle for ratings, Rob Thomas should probably cool it the annoying descriptions.

I'll watch any Rob Thomas-related show. This is no exception.

The comic was fun, quirky and off-beat.  News that they're jettisoning most of it to make a zombie-procedural kills most of my interest.  Not all of it, but most.

Hey did anyone watch this? It is phenomenal and gets better as it goes along into a scorcher of a finale. I highly recommend it.

I love the show and I'm looking forward to the second season

I actually ended up really liking this show.  It's a very different thing from the comic, but it ended up being great.
