ZOMBI EHHHH? Better off dead...
Blasphemy! All your childhood heroes, reduced to braindead, psychotic, maggot-infested, sloppy soulless idiots craving human flesh. Oh joy.

I wonder with all the superhero movies coming out, the interest in the comic books had been slipping. Maybe something drastic needed to be done to rejuvinate the guys in leotards. Why not make them zombies?

Well, it's a pretty fun trip. Luckily this wastes no time with any long explanations or story development. Many of our good guys are zombified, trapped in another dimension with an insatiable craving for human flesh.

Watch an evil Spidey, Cap, Wolvie, Hulk, Thor and others try to hunt down and devour the unchanged Magneto, Silver Surfer, or whoever they can find to supress their monstrous appetite.

This book has plenty of humor mixed in with the grotesque chomping. Glossy pages, vibrant colors, outstanding artwork, and clever writing. Plenty of zombie attributes also come into play--like severed limbs or decapitations that are harmless unless the brain gets damaged.

This is a fun read, but I can't help but feel a twinge of contempt for this development. My invincible heroes, reduced to this? Plus I have concerns for the effect this will have on the future of all these characters. This series will probably get real old real quick, and I'm curious to see how they can go forward from here.

Fun read, horrible end to the story
I loved book 1 and Dead Days, even Army of Darkness crossover. This book though, disappointed so much because of the ending. There was no real solution to the problem and the wrong people were left "alive." I feel cheated a dirty and I hope Marvel has some more side story projects, especially the one about what happens to Ultimate universe Dr. Doom. They left his story wide open.

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.
