Plot
Within the Marvel Multiverse
is an alternate Earth designated Earth 2149, which contains alternate
versions of Marvel superheroes. The story begins as a zombie Sentry crash lands before infecting the Avengers.
The infection spreads via contact with the blood of the victim, usually
through a bite by an infected individual. The zombie super beings
largely retain their intellect and personality, although they are
consistently driven by the hunger for fresh human flesh.
The series begins where the Crossover story-arc ended, with Magneto destroying the cross-dimensional transporter after the Ultimate Fantastic Four and survivors escaped back to the Ultimate universe. After a battle with the zombies, Magneto learns that the Acolytes and Forge are still alive on Asteroid M.
However, before he can reach them, he is attacked once again, killed
and eaten by the zombies, though he manages to behead the zombified
Hawkeye. The Silver Surfer arrives on Earth and informs the zombies that his master Galactus
is en route to devour the planet. The zombies attack the Silver Surfer,
who is overpowered and devoured by several of the former heroes: Colonel America (Alternative versions of Captain America),
Iron Man, Giant-Man, Spider-Man, Luke Cage, the Hulk, and Wolverine.
After acquiring a portion of the Power Cosmic, they slaughter most of
the remaining zombies, intent on satiating their hunger.
The Acolytes return to Earth to find Magneto, but instead discover a
still-living Black Panther. The Panther has escaped from the lab of the
zombie Giant-Man, who has been keeping him alive as a food source. As a
result of several feedings, the Panther is now missing an arm and a
foot. As well as the Panther, zombie Wasp got into another argument with
her husband when she discovered that Giant-Man was hoarding the Black
Panther for food and is decapitated, although her head remains sentient.
After observing the Wasp's head begging for flesh, he reasons that the
hunger is more psychological than physical.
Meanwhile, the zombies have decided that the flesh of other zombies
just isn't satisfying. Galactus then arrives on Earth and is attacked by
the zombies, but he repels them easily. Giant-Man, Iron Man and Bruce
Banner create a device that amplifies the powers they gained from the
Silver Surfer, and together with Colonel America, Luke Cage, Spider-Man
and Wolverine they are able to injure Galactus. The cosmic-powered
zombies fight off zombified versions of several supervillains and then
proceed to devour Galactus. Giant-Man, the Hulk, Iron Man, Luke Cage,
Spider-Man and Wolverine are then infused with Galactus' power cosmic,
becoming the collective Galacti.
Five years later, Black Panther, the Acolytes, and seemingly
functioning Wasp return to Earth and find the planet empty. Unknown to
them, the Zombie Galacti have taken their hunger to the stars.
Sequels
An intercompany crossover between Marvel and Dynamite Entertainment,
published from May to September 2007 provided information as to the
source of the zombie infection in the five-part limited series titled Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness (Marvel) and Army of Darkness (Dynamite). In July of the same year, a one-shot graphic novel, Marvel Zombies: Dead Days provided more story details, and the zombies also appear in a three-part storyline in Black Panther vol. 3, #28 – 30, although they make their appearance in the last page of #27 first, and encounter the Earth-616 Fantastic Four.
A sequel to the original series, the five issue Marvel Zombies 2, was published from October 2007 to February 2008, and Marvel Zombies 3 a four issue series, commenced October 2008. Marvel Zombies 4
was a four issue limited series published over the summer of 2009, and
featured characters from Marvel's horror comics (Man-Thing, Morbius the Living Vampire, Werewolf by Night, and Mephisto among others). Marvel Zombies Return
is a 5 issue mini-series begun in September 2009, and is a direct
follow up sequel to Marvel Zombies 2 that wraps up the original zombie
plotline. Several other sequels and spin-offs have been produced.
In 2006, the October issue of Wizard magazine featured a one-page Marvel Zombies comic by artist Sean Phillips called "Eat the Neighbors." It parodied Hostess
Fruit Pie advertisements featured in Marvel titles in the 1970s which
showcased Marvel superheroes defeating villains by offering them snacks.
In this instance, Spider-Man, Captain America and Iron Man serve two
children as "Hostees Meat Pies" after the children mistake them for
legitimate superheroes.
Another humorous one-shot comic book was also published in 2007 featuring the alternate universe animal hero Spider-Ham and titled Ultimate Civil War Spider-Ham. Spider-Ham accidentally crosses over into Earth-2149 and becomes, as J. Michael Straczynski puts it, "Undead Ham".
