Dead to the World (iZombie #1), by Chris Roberson (ill Mike Allred), 144 pages
Gwen is a gravedigger, and also a high-functioning zombie who has to eat a brain once a month in order to avoid becoming a stereotypical "braaaaains" sort of zombie. I think it will make more sense in future issues. Anyway. When she eats a brain, she gains the memories of the dead person- and when the brain she eats appears to have been the victim of a weird culty murder, she sets out to investigate. She has a couple of friends- a weredog who is unrequitedly smitten with her, as well as a 1960's ghost. This could be a cute little series, if you're into mysteries, zombies, and/or strong female characters.
