Marvel Zombies
Resurrection
by Phillip Kennedy Johnson collects the prequel 2019 tale and the 2020 issues. In
the prequel, the world ends and falls to the undead. The main heroes of the
X-men, Avengers, and the Fantastic Four, answer a distress call from Captain
Marvel who is off planet and needs help. This story features heroes such as
Magneto, Wolverine, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and others.
There is a
distinct difference in the cast of the first tale vs the second. The second
tales focuses on Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four kids trying to survive in
the new world. Along the journey, they are joined by other survivors who must
not be named here as doing so would ruin the read.
This book
features a wide variety of characters. While most of the heroes become
infected, there are quite a few surprises as some survive despite the long odds
against it. This book is action packed with plenty of horror. It does require
some reader suspension of disbelief as the prequel makes the main heroes of the
Marvel Universe to be amazingly stupid to work. Like going to the abandoned
warehouse at two in the morning to meet somebody and never taking your gun with
you kind of stupidity. Deadpool is also not in the book—at all-- despite
appearing on the cover. I also wish there had been more discussion and explanation
of events that happened in the large time gap between the two tales. Instead,
those events are mostly glossed over and just barely mentioned at different
points.
This book is good,
but clearly suffers from being a miniseries and not being fully developed.
