Will the zombie plague ever leave the Marvel superheros alone? No chance, since Marvel Zombies is big business for the comicbook publisher.
Without warning, a perpindicular universe overlaps our own, and out pops Zombie Deadpool to spread the disease on Earth-616. Apparently, the virus prefers to infect superhumans as a more efficient means of spreading itself. Machine Man and Jocasta are teleported to the Zombieverse where the virus originated, in order to get a sample of human blood native to the dimension, in hopes of creating a vaccine.
I’m still learning about the many secondary characters of the Marvel Universe, and this was a decent introduction to Machine Man and Jocasta. I don’t know much about their backstory, but they worked well within this storyline. Picking non-humans to fight the undead was a brilliant choice, although at first, I was hesitant. My only minor complaint was discerning between the different multiverse Earth planets.
Lots of action, lots of Macnine Man (and very little of anybody else) and some great one-liners, too!
Strength: Lots and Lots of action!
Weakness: Very little story (but easy to follow)!
WTF Moment: Blessed water, not blood, flows through the Conquistador’s veins!
