Marvel Zombies by Robert Kirkman (2006, Hardcover)

"Marvel Zombies" is a great read and the kind of purchase ebay was made for. The book had gotten great buzz, but when I went to look for it I discovered the hardcover first edition was out of print everywhere, and really difficult to find. I found it here for a decent price in great shape.

The story itself is fascinating, full of dark comedy and way more violence than you would expect in a Marvel TPB. Without spoilers, some of Marvel's most iconic figures go through some horrific moments. It's graphic too, so don't expect to see things hinted at and then not shown. If it's happening in the story, you'll see it on the page. Be ready, and don't give this to someone too young.

This edition also comes with a collection of the variant covers for each issue, as well as the originals so you can compare. Besides a pretty funny intro by Kirkman, that's the only real bonus material but it's fun to see how twisted the originals got.

All in all, MZ is a great read for Marvel fans, Zombie fans, action fans, humor fans, basically just about anyone interested at all in this medium. Give it a shot. You won't be disappointed.

I've always liked superheroes and I've always liked Zombies. I couldnt believe how well the two was mixed together. I liked the art and I liked seeing the characters deal with being zombies. Funny and disturbing.

Simply amazing.....killer graphics and funny story. A must have for comic buyers and zombie freaks. I have become addicted to the Marvel Zombie comics and now have the whole collection. I love the way they have played this storyline.

One of the best collection of Marvel stories. If you're a fan of zombie stories, then you will love this one.

The Storyline was great and the art was excellent. I always enjoy the alternate universe stories they give new prespective and depth to the players in the marvel universe. I hope this trend continues and I would love to see this stroy played out on the big screen.
