Marvel Zombies 3 #1 ReviewOk, so the zombies didn't come back from the dead because they haven't died and they haven't come back as they are non-existent in this first issue of the new series writen by Fred Van Lente and art by Kev Walker.
Unlike the first two series, this run takes place in the regular Marvel universe. The only problem with that is we're probably not going to see any big heroes become zombies, which was undoubtedly the appeal of the first two series.
The story follows Florida state intiative team, The Command, as one by one they become zombie food for the recent transdimensional traveler, the one and only Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool. Enter the Alternate Reality Monitoring and Operational Response Agence aka ARMOR as they recruit Machine Man.
First off, who the hell is Machine Man. I've been reading comics for a while now and consider myself fairly informed, but I have no idea who he is. The same goes for the Jabba the Hutt dancer turned silver on the cover. Apparently, the two have some kind of kinky, robot history, which I'm sure will be rekindled by the end of the series' run.
The issue ends with the obligatory twist and the winding path that is Marvel Zombies has begun.
The most exciting thing about this issue (besides an appearance from Deadpool) is the teaser cover at the end of the issue. The cover looks positively scary but as to whether or not the book is remains to be seen in 30 days.
3/5 stars
