Reception
thumb|alt=Elwood battles a gang leader in the first chapter of the series.|Zombiepowder.s battle scenes are typified by their graphic violence, minimal use of backgrounds, and quick angle changes between panels, all of which can be seen here.
Zombiepowder. sold modestly in Japan, but has been commercially successful in the United States. The second volume placed in the top 100 graphic novels for Christmas 2006. Theron Martin of Anime News Network believed the series could have achieved some success in the United States without the Bleach connection due to the American market's larger appetite for series which focus on violent action, but that the series was heavily buoyed by Bleachs international popularity, The universal criticism in these reviews is that the series as a whole lacks originality, with most mentioning that it reads very much like the author's first effort it is, and would therefore appeal mostly to fans of the author.
