MARVEL ZOMBIES! F'real!

From a RAGING rumor column:

It seems that there will be a new five issue miniseries spinning out of Mark Millar and Greg Land’s current Ultimate Fantastic Four story arc. As readers of that title already know, it deals with Ultimate Reed Richards journeying to an alternate Earth overrun by zombie versions of Marvel’s superheroes. The way I hear it, the new miniseries is called Marvel Zombies and takes place entirely on Earth 615, Earth Z, the Zombie world… whatever they’re gonna call it. Someone will probably come up with a new name for that world. As for the creative team, the mini is being written by none other than Robert Kirkman, who’s had a lot of zombie experience on his creator owned title, The Walking Dead. Sean Phillips (Sleeper) is said to be the artist attached to this project. The early word is that the Marvel Zombies miniseries will be out in December. If so, I think we can expect an official announcement sometime soon...

(and hey, wtf is with ATR reporting on rumours about LITG? That's like Inside Edition covering Access Hollywood.)

two months pass...

did anyone buy this? i might have to get it. i haven't bought a comic book in years, but the idea is giddily thrilling to me.

It's pretty fun. I recommend it. The art is great, and it's genuinely creepy and degrading to the Marvel icons.

I thought the first issue was fun too! I hope it continues to be.

Scott, here's a sample page (the real thing is in color and has dialogue, btw)

I see your page and raise you four and a cover.

― scamperingalpaca (Chris Hill), Thursday, 15 December 2005 19:12 (twenty years ago)

Or raise you three. Because 4 = 1 + 3. At least in this reality.

― scamperingalpaca (Chris Hill), Thursday, 15 December 2005 19:13 (twenty years ago)

Preview pages of Marvel Zombies # 2.

I'm starting to worry that Marvel Zombies is just a giant bait & switch to get me to read UFF.

one year passes...

DEAD DAYS WAS AWESOME. Especially for:

- the one panel w/ Spidey & JJJ
- Zombie Alpha Flight
- the TWEEST involving The Fantastic Four & the ultradicky Reed Richards

How have I not been paying attention to this? Dead Days was genius!
