Revival is an American horror comics series created by writer Tim Seeley
and artist Mike Norton (pictured). The pair worked with colorist Mark
Englert and cover artist Jenny Frison to produce the series, which was
published by Image Comics as 47 monthly issues released between
July 2012 and February 2017. It has since been reprinted in both
paperback and hardcover editions. Set in central Wisconsin, Revival
follows the aftermath of the dead coming back to life. The story is
centered on detective Dana Cypress and her sister Em, who was revived
one day after she was murdered. As they investigate, they find that the
motive behind Em's murder is linked to her revival. The series was
nominated for three Harvey Awards in 2013, and Frison was nominated in
the Best Cover Artist category in 2013 and 2015 in part because of her
work on the series. Diamond Select Toys has released a Minimate toy of
Em Cypress.

Wikiquote quote of the day:
Salvation changes not, nor yet destroys, garden nor gardener,
children nor their toys. Evil will not see, for evil lies not in God's
picture but in crooked eyes, not in the source but in malicious choice,
and not in sound but in the tuneless voice. In Paradise they no more
look awry; and though they make anew, they make no lie. Be sure they
still will make, not being dead, and poets shall have flames upon their
head, and harps whereon their faultless fingers fall: there each shall
choose for ever from the All.
--J. R. R. Tolkien
