Marvel Zombies: Resurrection Throws Spider-Man Into the Walking Dead – CBR – Comic Book Resources

Marvel Zombies: Resurrection throws Marvel's heroes into a situation that's more like The Walking Dead than the franchise has been before.

WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Marvel Zombies: Resurrection #1 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Leonard Kirk, Rachelle Rosenberg, and VC's Travis Lanham, on sale now.

The latest Marvel Zombies series has changed the focus and format of the popular Marvel franchise. Instead of focusing on horror stories about zombie mayhem and gore, this incarnation of the Marvel Zombies seems more concerned with the survivors.

The first few volumes of Marvel Zombies stories initially took place on the world of Earth-2149, where almost all the Earth's heroes became zombies. The comics mostly showed these zombie heroes massacring anyone and everyone while taking the battle into space and to other worlds before the franchise began to incorporate more dark humor.

The original Marvel Zombiesbegan with Sentry arriving from a parallel universe with an infection that ravaged the world. The Avengers were the first to fall, and soon Earth faced another threat as Galactus and Silver Surfer showed up. The Marvel Zombie heroes ate Silver Surfer and Galactus before heading out to find other life forms to consume. There were different zombie superheroes, some "good zombies" fighting for survival, and other "bad zombies" who wanted to eat everything, all of them retaining the ability to speak and scheme.

However, Marvel Zombies: Resurrection takes a very different approach to the concept that and one that might seem very familiar to fans of The Walking Dead. This familiarity shouldn't be a surprise because Robert Kirkman, who created The Walking Dead, was also the writer for the original Marvel Zombies. This story reboots the entire Marvel Zombies universe starting right after the Galactus attacks. Spider-Man, one of the sole survivors of this version of the story, promises to protect Franklin and Valeria Richards after the Fantastic Four head into battle. What resulted was a group of survivors traveling through the woods, trying to survive.
