Cross film noir with horror humor and you have a good slice of what makes Dead, She Said. Add to that some of the most beautifully rendered guts and entrails by comics legend Bernie Wrightson and you have a great read. Steve Niles proves once again that beyond a great gimmick idea like 30 Days of Night, there is a fantastic horror writer that only needs to be let off the chain. When a detective wakes at a crime scene to find out that he was the victim of a brutal killing (but never died), he must track down who wants him dead or deader before his body completely decomposes on him. As if the concept wasn’t clever enough, the series is filled with funny bits of dark comedy one could only find in a book about a rotting body. Issue three is a little short on plot and ends a little abruptly, but the journey to get there is well worth the price of admission.
