Review of: MARVEL ZOMBIES ARMY OF DARKNESS #1
While this comic might first strike you as a shameless gimmick, designed only to make easy money by slapping two popular franchises together, it is in fact a funny, clever, well thought out story.
The comic seems - by all appearances - to take place in regular Marvel continuity...or the regular continuity involving the Marvel Universe in which earth gets invaded by zombies, anyway (you following...?).
Ash, popping through yet another inter-dimensional vortex, still on the run/pursuit (it gets blurred sometimes) of the Deadites, lands in New York City on Marvel Zombie earth mere hours before Zombie Sentry/Superman lands. After getting his bearings by reading the Daily Bugle, he realizes he’s landed in a “dimension full of these costumed clowns." He tries to warn the Avengers of the coming Deadite invasion but they won't listen, and the story develops just as we know it must...zombie infection begins.
The best line in the comic belongs to Ash (of course). Having made a nuisance of himself, he gets carried away from the upcoming battle by Spider-Man. Ash tells him: "That newspaper was right! You really are a menace!"
Very much looking forward to issue #2 of this 5-part series.
