Marvel Zombies, started in the pages of Ultimate Fantastic Four, imagines a world in which every super powered individual on Earth (well, I guess that's already an imagined world to begin with) has been transformed into a flesh eating zombie. They retain their personalities (except for the morality part), so they're not the mindless slugs of Romero's films. Anyway, the interior art is gorgeous, and Arthur Sudyam's zombification of famous Marvel covers is also a lot of fun. Robert Kirkman is the writer, and he is pretty capable when it comes to the Marvel Universe and/or zombies. So check it out I guess, it's got some great turns.RATING: 67%

I found an interesting blog post over at Rigorous Intuition (http://rigint.blogspot.com) about Marvel Zombies, and how it was symbolic of America's shift from global superhero to deadly, diseased supervillain (as usual, probably a ghastly misquote). I can't find it now, though.
