Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America... they're all superheroes we've seen battling the forces of evil in comics before. Did you ever wonder what it would be like if they were crazed bloodthirsty zombies? Protoclown takes you inside Marvel's 5-issue "Zombies" comic book series to show you all the zombietastic carnage!

didn't they already do that with vampires in a couple of the "what if?" ones :/

The Marvel Zombies series was vastly superior to any silly What if? issues. I mean...ZOMBIES!
Too bad it sort of ended on a brown note.

Yeah, the ending was a bit lacking in my opinion too.
And Willie, I don't honestly know if they did anything like that in any old "What If" issues, so I couldn't say.

I think Storm was a vampire at some point. But it wasn't a 'What If?'
P.S. Protoclown, the guy who wrote the Marvel Zombies book ( Robert Kirkman ) also writes a choice zombie comic called 'The Walking Dead"
Have you read it?

No, I've not read it, though I keep hearing great things about it. It's one of many things on my list of things to check out at some point.

No offense, dear clowny, but how do you think they should have ended it?

The "What If" issues pretty much focused on what would have happened if Storm remained a vampire, and it pretty much equated to every Marvel hero and villian being a vampire and under Wolverine's thrall, because he was the King of the Vampires because he killed Dracula. The issue ended with the Punisher and Doctor Strange's spectral form destroying all the vampires with a magic spell. Later, an issue basically "What If"ed that issue, and gave us a world where the Punisher didn't kill all the vampires and whatnot.

The zombie-verse comes from the ultimate Fantastic Four book. Just recently, Ultimate Dr. Doom got exiled there, and the last you see him is looking around at all the zombies and seeing it as an interesting challenge. So it ain't over.

That was a damn good story arc too. I hope that Mike Carey can keep the quality of Ultimate FF high...the first issue of his run was a little shaky. I haven't read the second one yet.

I read marvel Zombies - didnt quite live up to the amazing premise, but pretty entertaining nonetheless.
