Torn from the pages of Ultimate Fantastic Four! 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.

wonderfully unsettling

I purchased and read Marvel Zombies 1 and 2 and I was intriguingly appalled at the behavior and condition of my childhood heros. To see them shamelessly (except for spidey) pursuing and devouring every living body in sight is profoundly disturbing, but its so riveting. I love to hate them but I do want some one to stop them. I'm so confused, what to do, what to do!!! I just wished they didn't enjoy it so. I want more!!!I want more!!!!

Marvel+Zombies=Excellent Read

Before I get started I would like to say this...I do not like zombies! They creep me out! With that aside though, I have to say I loved this book. It seemed like a stupid concept but, the way it was excecuted was brilliant. It would have been so easy to screw this up and make it another stupid one shot. Robert Kirkman's writing is spot on. But, in my opinion, the art is what really steals the show. Now despite the subject matter, this book actually does not have alot of blood and gore. The artist, Sean Phillips, actually uses alot of shadows and darker colors instead of bright reds. I actually find this much more effective because you have to imagine what's happening. I love Kirkman's dark humour in this book. Everytime, I see Spider-Man crying about eating Aunt May and Mary-Jane, I can't help but chuckle. All in all, I absolutley adore this book. Because of this excellent kickoff, I'm going to pick up the whole series.

Ok read

This book was ok, but not really that much depth to it. It also leaves more questions than answers, which is usually a good thing, but in this instance it wasn't. I had just read the watchmen before I read this so it seemed pretty weak.

Venturing too far into standard fare

While we do have the Marvel Zombies, it feels as if this book is moving them more towards standard comic book fare. By the end, the zombies are no longer the crazy, conflicted, and generally funny group of super heroes gone wrong. They essentially become immortal, cyborg versions of themselves.
