Book Review: Zomberific
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a big fan of Marvel comics and I was very excitied when I first read Marvel Zombies. I thought it was pretty clever and I enjoyed the style of art that it contained. But Marvel Zombies Dead Days is way better, both in story and art.
Dead Days is divided into four sections. The first section is "Dead Days" in which we are shown how the infection is spread about this Marvel universe. Although I thought it was a little too short, I very much enjoyed seeing my favorite heros in a new light, and a new take on zombies which I found very interesting.
The next two sections are from the Ultimate Fantastic Four story arcs where we are introduced to the Frightful Four. In the first part of the arc, the Fantastic Reed is deceived by his counterpart who is both stronger and wiser than he is, so you get to see Reed experience this zombie verse and has to escape back to his world with Magneto, while the rest of the Fantastic Four must fend off the Frightful Four. This also gave me a better insight into the zombie world you are introduced to in the first Marvel Zombies, which I thought was nice.The second part is all about the Frightful Four, who the Fantastic Four was somehow able to deafet them, and the Four's arch nemesis, Victor Von Doom. The Fantastic Four must seek his help as Johny has only 28 days to live and to make things worse, the Frightful Four have already decided their escape plan! It's this Fantastic Four arc that has made me a fan of the Fantastic Four, I just loved the art work and the new twists on the characters personality, especially Doom's.
The last part is from Francis Portela's Black Panther, which wasn't my favorite. In this arc the Black Panther, Storm (his wife-didn't see that coming!), Johny, and Ben are stuck on a Skrull planet from the zombie verse, and the Galactic zombies from the end of the first Marvel Zombies are on their way for a little snack. I wasn't to fond of the artwork but I did enjoy the personality of The zombies, especialy when Iron Man and Luke Cage get into a fight (with Cage smacking Iron Man about 100 yards, lol). The new Fantastic Four has to ally with the skrulls in order to defeat the Galactus zombies, though they have already have wiped out half the universe!
I strongly advise this if you are a fan of the Marvel Zombies or the Fantastic Four and it's a good deal since all these are in just one book, (and then you can get the Ultimate Fantastic Volumes as well-but I'm getting ahead of myself, one book at a time).
Summary of Marvel Zombies: Dead Days
At last - experience the birth of the Marvel Zombies as told by the creative team of the best-selling limited series, and then witness their rise as they attempt to slake their hunger across two universes! First, Kirkman and Phillips pull out all the stops as they reveal the secret story of the day the Marvel Heroes became brain-eating monsters in Marvel Zombies: Dead Days! Next, follow the Marvel Zombies into the pages of Millar and Land's Ultimate Fantastic Four! When Reed Richards uses his scientific genius to contact an Earth in a surprisingly familiar parallel dimension, nothing could have prepared him for the world he's about to enter! And when the zombiefied FF escape from their Baxter Building prison in the wake of Dr. Doom's return, get ready for the deadly debut of the Frightful Four! Finally, in Hudlin and Portela's Black Panther, the mainstream Marvel Universe's New Fantastic Four just made a wrong turn on the dimensional super highway, and they've landed in the middle of Zombie-verse! Collects Marvel Zombies: Dead Days, Ultimate Fantastic Four #21-23 and #30-32, and Black Panther #28-30.Horror Books
