Customer review of: Marvel Zombies 2 Customer Rating: Summary: Venturing too far into standard fare Comment: While we do have the Marvel Zombies, it feels as if this book is moving them more towards standard comic book fare. By the end, the zombies are no longer the crazy, conflicted, and generally funny group of super heroes gone wrong. They essentially become immortal, cyborg versions of themselves. Customer Rating: Summary: 40 Years Later Comment: At the end of Marvel Zombies 2 in a short afterward paragraph, Writer Robert Kirkman refers to his Marvel Zombies creation as "a kooky idea". Indeed, if you've not read any of the series, and you've stumbled across this product, you're probably saying more colorful things than `kooky' as you try to even consider this as a serious purchase. But I assure you that if you're a fan of the Marvel Universe (and you like a good zombie story), you'll find the Marvel Zombies series a terrific, enjoyably quick read. Marvel Zombies was one of the more pleasant surprises that I've come across in long long while. Kirkman, who also happens to be the 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 2 picks up 40 years after the last page of the original Marvel Zombies. The Marvel Zombies are in a bit of a crisis: they've devoured every source of food that they know of. On Earth, Black Panther is the leader of what's left of any semblance of civilization, and the Marvel Zombies want to make a meal out of any survivors. Marvel Zombies 2 is as well-written as the original, but the series may be losing its steam (and enough super-heroes to keep the series going!). I thoroughly enjoyed Marvel Zombies 2, and Marvel Zombies 2 is a must for anyone that's read the original. However, for the best chronology and continuity, before getting into Marvel Zombies 2, I'd suggest reading Marvel Zombies first, then the Marvel Zombies: Dead Days prequel / story arc collection. (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!) Customer Rating: Summary: This was fun...! A 3.5, maybe? Comment: This was a fun book - where the first series was a giddy splatterfest, this second story arc takes the premise more seriously and has the super-zombies returning to Earth in search of a trans-dimensional portal so that they can find another universe to feast on. There they encounter the remnants of Earth's population, including several super-survivors, and thus the race is on. Kirkman does some interesting stuff combining super-prosthetic technology with the whole can't-kill-'em premise, and for fans of the superhero and zombie genres this remains a highly entertaining book. Several characters - Wolverine, Ororo - remain little more than walking furniture in this volume, but it's hard to complain about weak characterization in a book where the main point is to see how hard it is to kill the participants. Not great literature, but funny and fun. (ReadThatAgain book reviews) Customer Rating: Summary: Sometimes the heroes come back from the dead Comment: Im a huge fan of the series. Now this isnt as good as the first series but damn close to it. We see the 6 surviving Marvel Zombies (Giant Man, Spiderman, Wolverine, Iron Man, Hulk and Luke Cage) now known as the Glactus (after eating the original) and they are now joined by zombified Pheonix aka Jean Grey, Thanos, Firelord and Shi'ar warrior Gladiator. It turns out in the last 40 years since the last series. The Marvel zombies have ate everyone in the universe. We ate everything! But it turns out that some humans survived on earth including Blank Panther, Forge, Magneto's accolytes and a bunch of other people. But they have cured zombies (didnt eat flesh for years) Wasp and Hawkeye (both are just heads attached to robotic bodies). Now the zombies return to earth for a teleportion device seen on Ultimate Fantastic 4 issues, and MZ dead days. But they find food and its now a human vs zombies civil war. Great comic, read it Customer Rating: Summary: Good Start, But..... Comment: I had to write a review on this....I felt that the first MZ book was hysterically funny, and should have been left with just those stories. Dead Days was actually very good as well, with the Army Of Darkness spin-off rounding off an already tired storyline. This story should have been much more solid, but I can only deduce that Mr. Suydam's artwork is what kept this series going....because Mr. Kirkman seemed to have run out of ideas. I gave this three stars because although the beginning is interesting, the end is atrocious; horribly cliched dialogue and an overall feeling of disappointment. I recommend all the volumes for collectors, but really, this series needs to end with this; even if there is a possibility of dragging out another story, enough is enough.
Editorial Reviews: Forty years have passed and the zombies have come back home after eating just about everything else in the universe. Yum yum! What awaits them back on Earth, though, is beyond anything even these shambling monstrosities could have conceived! The Marvel characters that became last year's unexpected smash hit are back and more stomach-churning than ever! Plus: At last - witness the birth of the Marvel Zombies! Kirkman and Phillips pull out all the stops as they reveal the secret story of the day the Marvel Heroes became brain-eating monsters! Want to see the Avengers eat Jarvis? You won't get that in New Avengers, effendi! Collects Marvel Zombies 2 #1-5.
