On an Earth shockingly similar to the Marvel Universe's, an alien virus has mutated all of the world's greatest super heroes into flesh-eating monsters! It took them only hours to destroy life as we know it - but what happens when they run out of humans to eat?! Follow their search for more food, and witness the arrival of the Silver Surfer! Collects Marvel Zombies #1-5.
Marvel Zombies Not for the faint of heart, this comic tells the tale of a Marvel Universe gone terribly wrong where all your favorite hero's (and villians) are now turned into zombies w/ an unstopplable appetite. Witness these "marvel zombies" scheme up plans to find more food at the same time w/o killing each other. All in all good chessy fun.
Great Read The only "down side" to this book is that it does not really have much depth to it. But there is plenty of great scenes and sub stories that sparked the creation of "Dead Days" and "Marvel Zombies 2."
You want to read a superhero story that makes you cringe every couple of pages while giving you an entirely new angle of superheroes? This is perfect for you.
::Spoiler:: I died a little inside when the Silver Surfer was eaten
I really tried to like it but I just couldn't I got Marvel Zombies today and I just got done reading it. Marvel Zombies is a very short read. I was hoping it would have been longer because the action and violence are pretty good. The beginning is well but the book gets repetitve. The Zombies speak to each other which makes them seem too human. The story should have focused on a group of survivors instead of super powered Zombies. The survivors could have been led by a super hero like the Punisher or Nick Fury. It seemed like they threw in any character that popped into their head. Having the greatest Marvel Heroes turn into zombies is a good idea but they just didn't pull it off. I hate it when they talk about flesh being so good because it's sounds very cheesy. Anyways, I was hoping for more.
Starts off running but the ending... The first issue of the mini-series covers everything the reader needs to know, so the rest is just there to build up to the completely senseless ending. I guess the only "rule" in this universe is that, if a Marvel zombie wants to eat you, it can. It doesn't matter if you are invulnerable, inhuman, bloodless or (insert your word here), you are going to be zombified. The story is a novelty, but the ending sets the stage for an endless series of sequels that will be more of the same. Where's Stan Lee when you need him?
Marvel Zombies Very interesting take on the Marvel Universe. It was kinda cool to see your favorite heroes in a different light.
