At heart, this is a fairly standard collection of profiles, centering on scientists and their discoveries. There is little exploration of their lives outside of the field of science, only as necessary to explain an influence on their research. The framework is what sets this book apart. Firstly, it's a graphic novel, so there's a strong visual element. And since the narrator is interviewing the undead, there's a bit of a gross-out humor element. Even without corpse jokes, the tone is certainly humorous. Now, the subjects are all well-known figures. No surprises here. An entertaining approach to stories we may already know.
