Summary: 4 Stars
What a stupid concept, right? Spiderman, The Fantastic 4, The Hulk, The X-Men and all the rest of the Marvel Super-heroes turn into zombies. Dumb, no?
NO!
Marvel Zombies was one of the more pleasant surprises that I've come across in long long while.
Robert Kirkman, creator of the absolutely fabulous Walking Dead series (The Walking Dead Book 1, The Walking Dead, Book 2, The Walking Dead Book 3, The Walking Dead, Vol. 7: The Calm Before & The Walking Dead Volume 8: Made To Suffer), knows how to do a zombie story. And he does the Marvel Zombies series just as well as he does the aforementioned Walking Dead series.
Marvel Zombies: Dead Days is part prequel, part concurrent storyline and part continuation of Marvel Zombies. It fills in a lot of blanks as to the "whys and wherefores" introduced in Marvel Zombies. And it includes the Marvel Zombie story arc issues of the Ultimate Fantastic 4 and Black Panther. All exceptionally well-done tales of what would happen in the universe (or 'alternate universes') where some of our favorite super-heroes are affected by a zombie infection and go to war with the living. What happens? Well, our super-heroes win, of course...but us normal folk don't see it as a win, that's for sure. We're talking taking super-heroes and turning them into super-zombies that retain their ability to think. Do the math....It's Doomsday, people.
Dead Days is extremely well-written, and even eludes to the cause of the zombie infection. There's no need to have ever read or seen a single comic book to appreciate the Marvel Zombies series. I'd suggest reading Marvel Zombies first, and Dead Days is chronologically a good read prior to the more recently released Marvel Zombies 2.
Do you like zombie flicks? Do you enjoy the Marvel super-hero stories? Yes? Then Marvel Zombies is a terrific, enjoyable, quick read that you'd be remiss to deprive yourself of.
Check it out. (And don't miss the other very well done story arc prequel: Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness where some real "Ash" kickin' gets done!)
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.General Books
