Bridging the gap between the original film and its sequel to be released in 2007, 28 Days Later: The Aftermath tells the story of one of the last bands of un-infected humans in London, desperately trying to survive in the midst of the Rage virus. 28 Days Later was merely the beginning of the end. Two idealistic scientists unwittingly developing the deadliest virus the world has ever known! A family making desperate choices as they struggle to survive the Infection's initial outbreak! A lone gunslinging survivor battling the Infected in a decimated London! Four original tales chronicling the greatest horror humanity has ever faced come together in a bloody conclusion as terrifying as the Rage Virus itself. Will humanity's salvation come in the form of a rescue, or an over-zealous American army determined to eliminate anything left alive? Written by horror master Steve Niles (creator of the classic 30 Days of Night) and illustrated by three of the most terrifyingly talented illustrators working in comics today, 28 Days Later: The Aftermath begins before the hit movie-and ends with a shocking revelation that leads into the events of the sequel, 28 Weeks Later.
Review
Having seen the original film the graphic novel didn't add anything to my cinema experience, in fact I feel that it cheapened it. With the new sequel coming out called 28 Weeks Later it seems that the publisher has jumped on the band wagon and allowed somebody to produce a supporting story that was wholly unnecessary and at times almost confusing.
This graphic novel revels in the violence of the situation of the violence far more than the film did, in that instance it was contextualised, instead we have shot after meaningless shot of RAGE infected people having their brains blown out and of uninfected people who have merely gotten in the way, suffering from the same fate. I have to whole heartedly say that I would not recommend this novel to anyone, especially not a fan of the films!!!!!
