4.0 out of 5 stars A new way of looking to the Marvel Universe, 22 Sep 2006
By Aaron Ghirardelli (Milan, Italy) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Directly from the pages of Ultimate Fantastic Four comes this strange Marvel Universe version, filled with zombie-like heroes and villains.
Robert Kirkman, of Walking Dead fame, writes this mini series taking the story from the end of the Ultimate Fantastic Four one, where a sane Magneto succeeded in helping Reed Richards from the Ultimate Universe to escape from this insane world.
It is interesting seeing all our beloved heroes in a zombie version, the story is funny, maybe a little bit too cruel in some moments.
Very enjoyable. The hardcover includes all the variant covers produced for the series!

2.0 out of 5 stars A great idea in need of better execution, 21 Jan 2008
By mr-benn (England) - See all my reviews
Zombies, and superheroes - who doesn't love them? Both parties occupy a dear place in the heart of most comic book and movie fans the world over. Who, then, could fail to be enchanted by the idea of the Marvel Universe being gripped by a zombie plague, resulting in all our most beloved characters turning from heroes to ravenous, bloodthirsty flesh eaters?

But, sad to say, a great idea alone is not enough. While 'Marvel Zombies' has its moments of dark hilarity and subversive creepiness, it's way too thinly spread a story for a full five-issue narrative. It's certainly fun to see the Marvel Universe played with in so satirical a fashion at first, particularly with the arrival of the Silver Surfer and Galactus - our heroes being less concerned with the intentions of the eater of worlds than they are with eating him! But, with the multitude of characters sharing the spotlight, the absence of much in the way of human interest, and a gore quota which - while fairly full on for kid-friendly Marvel - is pretty mild for the palate of a seasoned zombie lover, the whole enterprise falls flat pretty quickly. Lumbered with a largely mediocre script (based on this and book one of 'The Walking Dead,' I really can't see why Robert Kirkman is so highly regarded) and not particularly memorable artwork, 'Marvel Zombies' takes what should have been truly iconic stuff and doesn't take it beyond a one-joke novelty. The tremendous covers are about the only part that realise the full potential of the idea, but do they alone warrant the price of a hardcover? You be the judge.

4.0 out of 5 stars Zombies!, 28 Jan 2007
By Oliver Tormey "grayseeroly" (london, uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It started with a flash of light in the sky... and the Marvel Zombie universe was born. And what came of that was this gripping, gruesome and hilarious book. Brilliant righting and art on every page, with a twisted story that actually gets you rooting for the brain munches. However, the star quality really comes from the humour; witch is accessible to anyone with even a basic knowledge of the living breathing marvel heroes. To sum up, this is a golden addition to ANY comic library, though maybe not a good starting point.
