Would I sound like a weirdo if I said Marvel Zombies 3 was more succulent than the flesh of a scared teenager? Probably. That’s why I’m saying Marvel Zombies 3 is as good as the original and defiantly better than the sequel, instead.
The main story focuses on the invasion of the Marvel Zombies from their universe to the mainstream Marvel Universe (616). This is a cool premise because the zombie characters can meet their non-zombie counterparts, basically because again, that battle would be really cool. I mean, honestly, this series is about fanboy crazy fun, not serious or emotional brooding found in many comics today. There is no point to this series other than plain fun (which the sequel kind of forgot), which means the writer has license to do whatever will make the fan happy.
This first issue is a fun start to the series, introducing an awesome super hero team just so they can get eaten, and also throwing in random and bizarre aspects of recent and past Marvel history - like S.W.O.R.D., Project Lightning Storm, and the Nexus of Realities. Morbius hasn’t made a cameo in awhile, and after learning about Iron Man’s past story arcs, I find it neat that Jocasta is back. I love Warren Ellis’ version of Machine Man, but Marvel Editorial seems to frown on other writers portraying the robot similar to Futurama’s Bender, so maybe the fun character we expect won’t show, but that’s not a big deal. Seeing zombie Deadpool makes up for everything this issue could have possibly lacked!
This is the perfect series for someone who wants comics to be funny. Check this out, even if you haven’t read the other volumes.
