Resident Evil: Fire and Ice

I had a chance to read this over the weekend.  Well, it was unusual.  This collects some Resident Evil stories that were published by Wildstorm.  Most of these stories deal with the mutant monsters and not the zombies.  There is basically a 4 issue mini, plus several backup and one shot stories.  Some of them follow the plot lines of the Outbreak File games.  It even went so far as to have the characters picking up keys and making puzzle points.  This did  not make for a strong story.  Ultimatly the book is disappointing, and even though I was familiar with the Outbreak File #1 and #2 games, I had little idea who the characters were or why I should really care about them.  I also think that the zombie elements are the more interesting parts of the Resident Evil material, not the mutants.  Bonus points for working H. P. Lovecraft’s Night Gaunts into a story though.
