Comics: School Run ~ Part 7: Casualties of War!

Illustration and Story by: Macoy
(5/5 ★★★)


We are left with a sad zombie bite mark on Maki's leg in the previous part of School Run. It gives the impression that even the lead character where the story of School Run began is not immune to the horror of dying in this zombie plaque.

In part 7 of School Run, the story continues with a sad fate to Eightball and the leader of the Black Squadron. The rescue mission for Eightball ended with a suicide. A human death to be more precise rather than die and reanimate into a zombie was picked as a better option. On the other hand, time shortens for Robert who got a zombie bite in his hand. A decision was then set by dividing the NZP, an anti-plaque drug that must be taken every 4 hours, between him and Maki, who is currently unconscious. Then, he covers her before leaving the area. His next action was to shout out loud while walking away from the scene in order to lessen the number of zombies surrounding Maki. This part ended with 3 deaths as Robert is finished off by a gunner who sees him to be halfway into transforming due to the zombie virus.

The cover of this part already says a lot regarding the events bound to happen to the characters, especially to Robert and Maki. This really is a sad turning point for this series as one major character dies and another one is awaiting the same fate, unless something could halt or reverse the effect of the virus inside Maki's body. Well there's going to be a lot of things that is still going to be told. Such as, what has happened to the rest of the group, and if Maki will ever make it to school in time before she gets a head shot. It would also be great if a side story of the Black Squadron is written like who and what they are.

School Run continues to be a great story told in a child like drawing. Even though that is the style of art done by the creator, this personally is still an envy. Since I wouldn't still be able to come up with this nice drawings, set aside the nice story telling.
