Infestation by IDW started about a month ago and I have to say it has become a big disappointment. I don't know what they intended to do with this story. It spans multiple different universes...and that's about it. The idea seems cool to start with, and its an interesting idea introducing zombies into universes that have never interacted with them before but it falls short.
The first issue lays the groundwork, and the story is kind of confussing but it makes enough sense that you understand why the zombies end up in the alternate universes. From there it ends up becoming look at these characters fighting zombies affair.
The story kind of disappears, and I wasn't blown away by any of the art. The art in the GI Joe miniseries was probably the best out of the 4 (Transformers, Star Trek, Ghostbusters).
Having read the last issue of the entire Infestation spinoff today there was still nothing that makes me want to recomend people pick it up. I would say if your curious wait for the trade that will come out a few months down the road as it will most likely come bundled with all the spinoff stories as well.
The whole production feels rushed, and isn't even executed that well in the end. Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning have done much better work, might I suggest any of the annihilation series which you can find in paperback and your local store now. For more recent series by them I would recomend Heroes for Hire, they have done a great job so far and the first story arc has just recently finished in issue #4 check it out.
