Marvel Zombies The Complete Collection Vol. Still, it is an enjoyable addition to zombie lore, one I'm glad I plowed through. I didn't feel that way about these zombies. is fine.both have their creep factor) though perhaps some day a book or movie will feature a zombie who can hold up his end of a conversation, and I will find it to be an evolutionary step forward in zombie lore. Maybe I'm just a traditionalist, but I prefer my zombies to be instinct-driven, snarling beasts (either fast or slow. In addition, there's a subplot or two that feel like they drag the story out unnecessarily and whose purpose is unclear, though perhaps I was too anxious to get to the end of the book by then to really try to follow these side stories too carefully.įinally, I'm not sure how I feel about such intelligent, communicative, sentient zombies. That being said, much of the book's success depended on knowing who all these slews of characters were from their past Marvel adventures, so I'm sure I missed many, many allusions along the way that might have made this reading experience richer. I also enjoyed the between-episode squibs where the artists write about how they adapted past comic book covers into zombified ones, as well as the side-by-side comparison of the resulting companion covers. There were several inventive scenes, some wry humor, and lots of great illustrations, but I shan't go into specifics about any of these for the sake of avoiding spoilers.Ĭertainly it's a clever - and devious- premise to take these erstwhile world-saving, benevolent superheroes and turn them into evil, ravenous, flesh-eating zombies who can consume the entire population of a planet in a day or two (and still be hungry!). I was drawn to this book more for its zombie elements than its Marvel ones.
