Marvel Zombies Return #1-5

Post by Col_Fury »

MARVEL ZOMBIES RETURN #1 (November, 2009)
By Fred Van Lente & Nick Dragotta

APPEARANCES:
Zombie-verse: Spider-Man (also in fb), Giant-Man, Mary Jane (in fb), Aunt May (in fb)
Earth Z: Dr. Octopus, Electro, Kingpin, Kraven, Mysterio, Sandman, Spider-Man, Uatu, Vulture, Harry Osborn, Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson

FLASHBACK:
Sentry turns the heroes into Zombies (repeats ULTFF 22-FB). Malcolm Cortez sends the zombies to another universe (repeats M/Z2 5). Spider-Man eats Mary Jane and Aunt May (expands M/Z:DD).
SYNOPSIS:
Spider-Man arrives in Earth Z and goes to ESU campus where a protest is being held. Kingpin sends the Sinister Six to the campus (one of his men saw Spider-Man), and Spider-Man turns them all into zombies. Kingpin attacks and Spider-Man turns him as well. The zombie Sinister Six eat all of Spider-Man’s friend while Sandman kills this reality’s Spider-Man. Upset, zombie Spider-Man tears his own face off. Uatu watches from the moon and warns other Watchers, but Giant-Man stops and eats Uatu.

NOTE:
This reality, circa the events of ASM 68, is called “Earth Z” in the comic. As a side-effect of the teleportation (Spider-Man theorizes), the zombie heroes no longer have their Galactus powers.

MARVEL ZOMBIES RETURN #2 (November, 2009)
By David Willington & Andrea Mutti

APPEARANCES:
Zombie-verse: Giant-Man
Earth Z: Iron Man (Tony Stark), Iron Man (Jim Rhodes), Happy Hogan, Pepper Potts

SYNOPSIS:
2 years later, Giant-Man teleports to Stark Industries as a drunk Tony Stark sells his company to the Chinese. Giant-Man is looking for a missing component from the Watcher’s machines so he can teleport to other universes. He eats Happy Hogan and infects some Stark employees and they spread out through the complex. Jim Rhodes finds Iron Man’s armor in the bathroom. Tony unlocks his safe and drinks some booze. Pepper is turned into a zombie and Stark vomits on her; she falls apart because Tony’s booze has nanobots in it. Rhodey arrives in the armor, but Tony is eaten by zombies. Rhodey, now Iron Man, continues to fight the zombies.

Meanwhile, Sunfire, Shang-Chi, Iron Fist and Wolverine try to stop zombie Wolverine’s rampage. Shadowcat is shocked to discover that Spider-Man is a zombie. Wolverine fights zombie Wolverine and the Hand attacks. Zombie Wolverine kills Elektra.

Sentry and his zombie group reminisce about their favorite battles until Giant-Man and Professor X tell them there are living things in the Savage Land. Once they get there they’re attacked by Spider-Man’s zombie group. Spider-Man attacks them with a nanobot-laced Sandman, who kills all of them except Sentry, who’s teleported away by Giant-Man to the moon, who is also killed by Sandman. Uatu appears, explains he wasn’t really killed by Giant-Man, and sends Sentry to a different universe (new). Sentry arrives in the zombie-verse and infects the Avengers (repeats ULTFF 22-FB).

NOTE:
And there it is! Now we know where the zombie Sentry came from way back in ULTFF 22-FB.
