"It sickens me to say this-it really does-but I'm enjoying this." I suffer a bit not knowing all the background of the Marvel universe, but I do love zombies! Nearly all the Marvel universe has become zombified, and because of their superpowers, they've managed to decimate the human population and are beginning to starve. There are a few heroes left, but they've wisely decided to stay away until they deem enough time's passed for the zombies to have decomposed completely. This is creepy, gross, and at times, flat out hilarious (on purpose). I'd recommend this to anyone who love a zombies story, as well as any superhero fans.

The entire series was very darkly funny, especially after the heroes had "eaten" and their senses, or what remained of them, returned for a while.
Of course, not everyone shares my sick sense of humor. There's a lot of squicky things in these pages (big surprise - they're zombies with an insatiable lust for human flesh!): people getting torn in half, brains being exposed, beheadings, bones getting ripped out of skin (or ripping through skin), etc. And if you're not familiar with Marvel, then it's not going to be nearly as funny or enjoyable (in my opinion, at least; you just can't appreciate how hilarious it is to see good ol' Colonel America tearing someone apart with his teeth unless you know how squeaky clean Captain America is in 616 Marvelverse).
I can't wait to read the rest of these. I'm ordering the second trade today! (
