IDW puts out a lot of cool horror comics. Of course, their most popular remains the various 30 DAYS OF NIGHT books but there have been a host of other titles the company has released. Recently, I picked up the old 2005 series IDW put out called Containment. Containment is not what you would call high concept. You have zombies in outer space. The idea of a monster roaming on a spaceship was first developed in the 1950’s with IT! THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE and, of course, 1979’s ALIEN. The concept is pretty standard but that has never been a problem for fans of horror movies. And, no, it will not be a problem for fans of horror comics either. Personally, they can make as many monsters on a rampage in a spaceship comics, movies, televisions shows, and operas as they please….just as long as it delivers on the goods. That is, as long as the material is engaging and fun.

CONTAINMENT does deliver the goods as far as providing mayhem and twists and turns. Zombies always make a mess of things whenever they find their way into a mix. (Have a cannibal craze for human flesh will do that to you) So, if you haven’t guessed by now, CONTAINMENT is a decent horror outing that fans of science-fiction and zombies will dig.
