Cheerleading is already dangerous enough without hordes of undead to deal with, but Lollipop Chainsaw's Juliet seemsmore than up forthe challenge.Her weapon of choice is a chainsaw for crying out loud, so that gives us a hint that she's not afraid of getting drenched in gore herself asshe tearszombies apartwith pure Suda51 style.Could she be the most badass cheerleader since Buffy?

As we mentioned in ourprevious coverage, Lollipop Chainsaw has some serious talent behind it. With Suda51 directing,James Gunn writing the story, and Akira Yamaoka working on the soundtrack, it's hard not to be excited based on name power alone. Based onhow much we enjoyed Shadows of the Damned,we can't wait to see more.
