First off,this negates the whole reason for the Zombie fiction.Fear of people,being trapped in the same with
mindless assholes.Second Marvel Zombies started out as a degotory term for anyone too stupid to follow
not put by Marvel/Real zombies,I'm sorry to say before silly idiots mistaken flesh eating ghouls as zombies in George
Remarro's Night of the Living Dead,are beings controlled by zoodoo.

Plot[edit]
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 theUltimate Fantastic Four and survivors escaped back to
the Ultimate universe. The other crap Marvel Alternate Universe,where everyone is an idiot.
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. Please do.Since Marvel Earth stinks anyway.The zombies attack the Silver Surfer, who is overpowered
and devoured by several of the former
heroes: Colonel 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.Did Robert Kirkman just dance on his typewriter or have his pet monkey write for him.?

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.

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".[1]
