With Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead coming to a surprise end this week, Marvel has announced that it will be filling the zombie void this October with a brand new Marvel Zombies series to rival DC Comics and its DCeased event. The announcement came with a cover image from Inhyuk Lee featuring zombie-fied versions of Captain America, Deadpool and Wolverine.
UPDATE: We now have the official solicitation for the new series, which is titled Marvel Zombies: Respawn and is written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson with art from Leonard Kirk:
When Galactus’ corpse appears at the edge of Earth’s solar system, the Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four investigate. Too late, they discover that Galactus’ body is now the vessel of an interstellar terror, which one-by-one transforms Earth’s Mightiest Heroes into the universe’s most terrifying predators! As our heroes try to escape the super-powered, cannibalistic aberrations that were once their friends and family, will any survive? And even if they do, can they hope to protect Earth from the infestation that has already claimed half of the known universe? Don’t miss the FIRST ISSUE of this terrifying new vision of the classic Marvel tale!
