It’s almost Halloween, and who doesn’t love some zombies, right? Heck, last night I watched Night of the Living Dead before going to bed! I guess it’s then appropriate that Marvel has announced today that coming in March, the Marvel Zombies are coming back – SUPREME Style!
Written by Frank Marraffino (Haunted Tank) and arted by Fernando Blanco, Marvel Zombies Supreme is set to infect the Squadron Supreme. As the solicit reads,
Responding to a mysterious emergency call, Jill Harper and her super-crisis special-ops unit descend deep into the bowels of a top secret underground research facility. They discover that the demented experiments of an unhinged geneticist have placed them at ground zero of a brand new virulent zombie strain — one that has infected powerful superheroes. The Squadron Supreme, once heroic defenders of justice and utopian ideals, have been reduced to corpulent cannibalistic murderers with a voracious appetite for human flesh. Harper and her team fight against overwhelming odds to stop this ravenous zombie menace where it began — before it spreads out to devour the earth.
I rather liked the last volume of Marvel Zombies. It featured Howard the Duck and Machine Man running around different unniverses and killing things, and it was arguably one of the funniest things that Fred Van Lente has written outside of Herc. I would like to see more of that, but I could also find fun in seeing the Squadron Supreme tear each other apart.
Either way, look for this in March from your ghoulish friends over at Marvel.
