The Zombies Are Back!

The original 2006 Marvel Zombies miniseries was a breath of fresh air. For my money, it was probably the most fun title of the last few years. At a time when a lot of serious developments were either brewing or in full swing in the main Marvel titles, Marvel Zombies took a great concept and ran with it, becoming one of the best selling minis in years and proving that there is a lot of fun to be had with the MU. The follow ups - Marvel Zombies Vs Army of Darkness, and the one-shot Marvel Zombies: Dead Days were equally fun , and the current Marvel Zombies story in the Black Panther book is managing to capture the feel of the original titles.

So, how pleased am I that in October we're getting anothr MZ miniseries? Pretty fucking pleased, I'll tell you.
Marvel Zombies 2 revolves around a Zombie version of the Civil War story-arc. The zombies return to to Earth after forty years in space, in which they have apparently devoured or infected the rest of the universe, and what follows is the beginnings of a zombie civil war. Solicitations state that what awaits them on the Earth under the Acolytes and Black Panther "is beyond anything even these shambling monstrosities could have conceived!".

Sounds like its going to be a lot of fun.

Sounds like one cool story idea. Going to go on to eBay and see if I can get myself a copy. I think the concept of zombie heros is pretty cool.
