About the author
First and foremost a comic creator, Kirkman has seen groundbreaking success in the adaptation of his comic book titles into major franchises in all forms of content. In 2010, his Eisner award winning series, The Walking Dead, was developed into an AMC television series. It has become a worldwide phenomenon as the highest-rated basic cable drama of all time and is the #1 show on television among the coveted 18-49 demo. The property has also been extended into a blockbuster game franchise, licensing business and ongoing publishing success.
Kirkman also serves as consulting producer of The Talking Dead, the popular talk show hosted by Chris Hardwick that deep dives into each week’s episode of both The Walking Dead and its companion series Fear the Walking Dead. Kirkman is co-creator, writer and producer of The Walking Dead’s companion series, Fear the Walking Dead.
He is also executive producer of the AMC series Robert Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics, and the Korean pre-apocalyptic drama, Five Year. Kirkman’s popular demonic-exorcism comic, Outcast, was adapted, produced and airs on Cinemax.
For the big screen, Kirkman will produce Invincible based on his long-running popular comic book. The project will be written, directed and produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg for Universal Pictures. Other credits include AIR featuring Norman Reedus and Academy Award nominee, Djimon Hounsou.
Additional Kirkman comics include Super Dinosaur, Battle Pope, Astounding Wolf-Man, and Thief of Thieves.
Robert is also the Chairman of Skybound Entertainment. Robert, an advocate for creator rights, co-founded Skybound alongside his longtime business and producing partner David Alpert in an effort to ensure creators are able to maintain their intellectual property rights and creative control.

When I was reading, I was surprised by the lack of unique personalities. It was more of a book about zombies who could think and had superpowers. Not necessarily Spider-Man as a zombie, Wolverine as a zombie, etc. They were all written to be sarcastic and slightly sadistic without much differentiation.
Weak story and characters. That being said, I couldn't stop reading. Pretty entertaining and nauseating book. If you're into the purity and nobility of the superhero mythos, this book is not for you. It will disturb you greatly. But if you enjoy subversive takes on the superhero genre, check it out. Nothing compared to The Boys Vol. 1: The Name of the Game (v. 1) by Garth Ennis, but in the same vein of superheroes as sublime jerks and misusing their powers. There are also some horrific battle wounds that are fun to witness.
If you get "Marvel Zombies," make sure to get Marvel Zombies: Dead Days TPB too. The purpose driving the zombies to infect other superheroes and maintain their existence makes A LOT more sense. Robert Kirkman's writing also improves (I had to check the writing credits to make sure he was still the author). Plus the zombie aspect is primarily woven into an actual Fantastic Four storyline, so the plot and characterization are much more solid. There's also more suspense since the FF need to find a way to survive and the high stakes nature of fighting superhero zombies is highlighted to a greater degree.
As everyone has they're own opinions on things i'd like to say the negative responses this comic has gotten is from people who over think things. Yes, Galactus is immensely powerful and so is the Silver Surfer. But our heroes have thwarted them before. So it's not too far of a stretch that zombie versions could do the same.
If you are fan of horror, zombies, and the marvel universe then this is definitely worth a read. It's sick and twisted but also maintains a comical edge to it. Granted the 3rd and 4th books aren't as good as the 1st and 2nd they still present an interesting story.

So zombified Marvel heroes are after fresh meat....not going to say more as I don't want to spoil it for people have not yet read this.
Read it, its a fun gory blast!
Dabei sind sie aber nicht so verblödet wie man es von typischen Film-Zombies kennt. Sie können noch normal denken wie vorher und sprechen auch miteinander, was einige sehr interessante Dialoge verspricht. Vorallem Peter Parker/Spider-Man, der seine geliebte MJ und seine Großmutter gefressen hatte ist schwer davon getroffen und hat echte psychische Störungen.
Der Comic ist lustig, blutig und dunkel. Genau wie ich es liebe! :D
