At last - experience the birth of the Marvel Zombies as told by the creative team of the best-selling limited series, and then witness their rise as they attempt to slake their hunger across two universes! First, Kirkman and Phillips pull out all the stops as they reveal the secret story of the day the Marvel Heroes became brain-eating monsters in Marvel Zombies: Dead Days! Next, follow the Marvel Zombies into the pages of Millar and Land's Ultimate Fantastic Four! When Reed Richards uses his scientific genius to contact an Earth in a surprisingly familiar parallel dimension, nothing could have prepared him for the world he's about to enter! And when the zombiefied FF escape from their Baxter Building prison in the wake of Dr. Doom's return, get ready for the deadly debut of the Frightful Four! Finally, in Hudlin and Portela's Black Panther, the mainstream Marvel Universe's New Fantastic Four just made a wrong turn on the dimensional super highway, and they've landed in the middle of Zombie-verse! Collects Marvel Zombies: Dead Days, Ultimate Fantastic Four #21-23 and #30-32, and Black Panther #28-30.

Summary: Great art and stories...Dead days rule
Comment: Great quality paper, book is bigger than i thought which is good. I was worried when i took it out of the cardboard package, because it wasnt wrapped in plastic. But came in perfect condition. DEAD DAYS---great art and drama/action. I bought this specially for the FANTASTIC FOUR ZOMBIES story, amazing art, sometimes it looks like pictures of real people. Most complain about the BLACK PANTHER stories, but i found them HILARIOUS, situations going from bad to worse...and a zombie BUG. So, if you are new to the marvel zombies get this one. I want to get the original MARVEL ZOMBIES but amazon is out of stock. Hope they get some of them soon.

Summary: Doomsday Begins
Comment: What a stupid concept, right? Spiderman, The Fantastic 4, The Hulk, The X-Men and all the rest of the Marvel Super-heroes turn into zombies. Dumb, no?
NO!
Marvel Zombies was one of the more pleasant surprises that I've come across in long long while.
Robert Kirkman, creator of the absolutely fabulous Walking Dead series (The Walking Dead Book 1, The Walking Dead, Book 2, The Walking Dead Book 3, The Walking Dead, Vol. 7: The Calm Before & The Walking Dead Volume 8: Made To Suffer), knows how to do a zombie story. And he does the Marvel Zombies series just as well as he does the aforementioned Walking Dead series.
Marvel Zombies: Dead Days is part prequel, part concurrent storyline and part continuation of Marvel Zombies. It fills in a lot of blanks as to the "whys and wherefores" introduced in Marvel Zombies. And it includes the Marvel Zombie story arc issues of the Ultimate Fantastic 4 and Black Panther. All exceptionally well-done tales of what would happen in the universe (or 'alternate universes') where some of our favorite super-heroes are affected by a zombie infection and go to war with the living. What happens? Well, our super-heroes win, of course...but us normal folk don't see it as a win, that's for sure. We're talking taking super-heroes and turning them into super-zombies that retain their ability to think. Do the math....It's Doomsday, people.
Dead Days is extremely well-written, and even eludes to the cause of the zombie infection. There's no need to have ever read or seen a single comic book to appreciate the Marvel Zombies series. I'd suggest reading Marvel Zombies first, and Dead Days is chronologically a good read prior to the more recently released Marvel Zombies 2.
Do you like zombie flicks? Do you enjoy the Marvel super-hero stories? Yes? Then Marvel Zombies is a terrific, enjoyable, quick read that you'd be remiss to deprive yourself of.
Check it out. (And don't miss the other very well done story arc prequel: Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness where some real "Ash" kickin' gets done!)

Summary: One of the best stories
Comment: First off, before you get this, make sure you read the first Marvel Zombies installment, which is just titled "Marvel Zombies." (Although this book does give some summary as to what happens in the first book and then what will most likely be seen in MArvel Zombies 2).
To summarize, this story is about an alternate Marvel Universe that becomes infected by some Zombie virus that apparently came from another "already infected" alternate universe. All of our heroes become infected and can't help but want to eat anything that is living. Although they seem very barbaric, their basic "personalities" are still intact. I'd get more into the story but it might ruin the first book if you haven't read it yet.
I've got to say, this book really opened me up to who the "real" heroes are in the Marvel Universe. Magneto is by far one of the greatest characters in Marvel history and this story proves it even more.
There is a very graphic and insane scene with the Fantastic Four. It sparks a big event between this Zombie "reality" and the "Ultimate" universe (Any title with the word "Ultimate " in it). That part of the book was probably my favorite because we get to see an actual "evil" Fantastic Four and they somewhat face off against the (younger by at least 10 years) Ultimate Fantastic Four.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a different/new view of the heroes we all have grown to love.
::Spoiler::
My only real problem with this book is that it gets a bit cheesy with the Galactus-Powered zombies attacking the Skrull planet.
