"Be Real" isn't just another zombie comic—it's a biting satire that cleverly plays with the notion of keeping it genuine in a world obsessed with surface-level authenticity. Felix Cheong's poetry adds a lyrical depth to the narrative, while Arif Rafhan's illustrations bring a gritty edge. If you're yearning for a story that's both darkly humorous and thought-provoking, with a protagonist whose descent into 'zombiism' mirrors our own societal obsession with the 'real', this could be the fresh take you've been looking for.
