This was repeated again, and again, and again, until I couldn’t go on any more. The story, as far as I read it, was the kids running about town, encountering a type of zombie – and all of the plants and zombies used are from the first game, not the second – and then a plant showing up to kill it. It’s up to the kids to marshal the plants in an epic showdown against the zombies.

Or are they? The girl’s uncle turns out to be Crazy Dave, the guy wearing a saucepan, who has been experimenting on plants and created a ton of mutant plants, all of which are scattered about town and are taking down the zombies. A boy and a girl – because everyone else has disappeared, maybe they’re the zombies? I don’t know, I didn’t read far enough ahead but I doubt it – are the last line of defence against the hilariously dressed horde. The story – and I use the term loosely – is about a small town suddenly being invaded by zombies. It might be because this comic is clearly aimed at younger readers, but I could not get through it despite it being a short book of not even 100 pages. The flip side is that the popularity of the game spawns further iterations of the franchise in other media, in this case a comic book version of Plants Vs Zombies written by Paul “Bandette” Tobin, the go-to guy for writing kid-friendly comics. I love this gaming series, it’s so much fun. I played the first game to death, doing the challenges long after I’d completed the game (several times) and not a day goes by since Plants Vs Zombies 2 has been released where I don’t play at least one game of it (that damn Treasure Yeti’s lunchbox!).

The flip side is that the popularity of the game spawns further iterations of the franchise in other media, in this c Plants Vs Zombies is one of the most addictive, entertaining games I’ve ever played. Plants Vs Zombies is one of the most addictive, entertaining games I’ve ever played.
