Comic Book Imp

Comic Book Imp is the third new zombie encountered in Shroom Moors in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World, first appearing on Level 7A. Comic Book Imp acts similarly like Newspaper Zombie, where he will read a comic book while progressing normally across the lawn, but, as soon as his comic book is destroyed, Comic Book Imp will spawn two copies of himself in adjacent lanes, each having a 20% chance to have a comic book (acting similarly to the original Comic Book Imp), and the Imps without comic books will rush across the lawn at high speeds. However, unlike Newspaper Zombie, Comic Book Imp’s eating speed is not affected, whether he has his comic book or not. He represents Impfinity’s clones in the game.

Almanac entry
Comic Book Imp

Toughness: Protected

Speed: Flighty

A famous superzombie that clones himself when his favourite comic books get destroyed. Special: Makes clones of himself in adjacent lanes when destroyed, the clones having a chance of having another comic book.

Dr. Zomboss had called Impfinity to assist him in the sanctuary raid. It was a bit of a bad timing though, a new series of comic books which featured Impfinity inside have just been published, and he and his clones are just getting too darn distracted with them.

Encounters
Shroom Moors: Levels 7A, 9A, 11A, 12A, 15A, 2B, 4B, 1C, 3C, 5C, 6C, 1D and 2D.

Strategies
Treat Comic Book Imp like a Newspaper Zombie, except, more than one zombie will be rushing towards your defences at once as soon as the comic book is destroyed. Make sure the lanes adjacent to Comic Book Imp are prepared to take out his clones when he loses his comic book, else, the clones can be a threat to your defences. Slowing plants (e.g. Snow Pea) are useful when Comic Book Imp is rushing, especially Ice-shroom, which can freeze and chill all of them at once, and buy you more time to defeat them. If you do not want to risk destroying the comic book, you can try using plants like Fume-shroom to pierce through the comic book defeat the Imp itself before the comic book, or just simply use instant-kills.
