Each volume of Marvel Zombies has been radically different. This volume is an inter-dimensional conquest story featuring Machine Man, Jacosta, Zombie Kingpin, Zombie Doctor Strange, Zacosta's imaginary The Wasp consciousness, and virtually no one else. It's, at times entertaining. But some of the humor is flat, and if you're not already familiar with Jacosta's imaginary The Wasp consciousness (wich I wasn't), then it's confusing why The Wap is behaving like neither Marvel Zombies Wasp, Ultimate
3 / 5 for 'Marvel Zombies Vol 3' by Fred Van Lente & Kev WalkerAnother entry in the Marvel Zombies saga, which unfortunately doesn't quite match the highs of books one and two by Kirkman & Phillips. Van Lente provides a perfectly serviceable story regarding excursions into alternate realities, with Machine Man and Jocasta as the main heroes, and the art by Kev Walker is fine, if a little uninspired and a little rough around the edges. A good TPB, not great, but not bad either; just good. 3 / 5
it was cool because the superheros turned into zombies
Kinda boring. There are a few interesting ideas here and there, but none of them are really well developed.For instance, I liked seeing how Kingpin tried to save his wife. However, she then approaches individuals who she believes to be zombies, which doesn't make any sense. And then, Kingpin eats her, because Van Lente wanted to make a lazy joke.I also don't understand how Kingpin got to shut Black Arrow up. The Lockjaw scene is nice, though.
We see the Zombies are trying to invade alternate universes and have also trying to find alternatives to easing their hunger and their solution is pretty demented and the story itself does see a return for the dark humor of the original. As it feels like a Zombie Action movie kind of like the Evil Dead movies.
This is a sequel to the original and excellent Robert Kirkman and Sean Philips Marvel Zombies miniseries set before the events of Marvel Zombies 2. The original creative team have move on to separate projects and Marvel, rather than set a cash cow to pasture follows it up with another set of books the superhero and zombie fusion to be handled by a different team.Fred Van Lente is a capable is capable replacement. His scripts have a dash of humor in an otherwise morbid story. It channels Sam Raim...
I found the story difficult to follow. I was unfamiliar with the characters. And other than the fact that they were Marvel Zombies the story line didn't seem to have much to do with the other stories in the series. 2 stars.
I’ll be honest, when I first picked this up, I thought ‘Here we go; Robert Kirkman’s moved on but Marvel are going to keep flogging this dead horse with another, probably inferior, creative team’ but hush my mouth and call me Sally if this didn’t turn out to be much better than either of the first two Marvel Zombies books!For starters, Kev Walker is on drawin’ duty and I really like his stuff (I wonder if they’re deliberately putting 2000AD alumni on these books or if it’s just a coincidence) so...
The post-modern Machine Man is one of my favourite anti-heroes. All MM, all the time. Interesting plot too.
I held off on this, as I didn't care for some of the characters much. This was a great entry, with some of the best treatments of obscure Marvel characters around. Very well done.
Reprints Marvel Zombies 3 #1-4 (December 2008-March 2009). Zombies have invaded Earth-616 through the Nexus of Reality, and the entire Marvel Universe is at risk of infection. With H.A.M.M.E.R. on the situation, Portal is sending a team of Jocasta and Machine Man into the zombie universe with a dangerous mission to create a cure. Jocasta and Machine Man discover just because they aren’t human doesn’t make the zombie universe any less dangerous, and a secret danger could still be lurking on Earth...
Continuing the Marvel Zombie saga. The zombies try to take over our dimension by infiltrating the gov't agency ARMOUR. Machine Man goes to their dimension for DNA samples and meets zombie Kingpin. Very good.
it was trash
I wondered how Fred Van Lente would do after taking over the reins from Kirkman, but I have to say I was surprised at how good this story was. Here Zombie Deadpool has entered earth through a Nexus into Man-Things Florida swamp and begun infecting tourists with the zombie virus. A secret government superhero team is sent in to contain the outbreak while Machine Man and the Avengers’ own robot supreme Jocasta travel to the zombie universe to collect a vial of human blood for a vaccination to be c...
Machine Man does some interdimensional traveling with Jocasta, his on again off again girl bot,(Didn't she leave him for Ultron at some point), to find a cure for the zombie virus...Best line in the whole book, "Name is Machine Man, Aaron if you're nasty"
This was probably better than number 2. There are still some things needing answers, but this interestingly seems to fill some of the gaps between 1 and 2.I liked the action, but it would have been nice to get some more relatable or known heroes. The Marvel Universe has always struggled because it only has two historically bankable properties Spiderman and X-Men.With neither of those two present in this edition, I'm asking, who are these people? The X-Men cast is HUGE, and you couldn't give any
I literally just read this because Morbius, the Living Vampire, is in it and I'm trying to dig up as much as I can with him in it. That being said this was by far the best Marvel Zombies I have read. I thought Machine Man aka "Aaron" was hilarious (liked him with the Ms. Marvel titles too) and it actually had a good story.
I was a little apprehensive once I saw that Kirkman wasn't at the helm, but it turns out Van Lente gives us a fascinating tie-in to the first two series, and I'd argue that the art here is the best yet in the whole line. I like how it approaches from another angle and shows us more of the Marvel characters and where they fall into the zombie apocalypse, and also how the 'alt universe' will collide with our own, ours being the 'real' Marvel universe. Not to mention, I don't think we've had this m...
Not as fun as the previous Marvel Zombies runs, there was barely any mention of the Avengers/X-Men, the only heroes turning up being Morbius, Machine Man and Jacosta travelling to a different universe. For me, it just didn't live up to the previous two, and took a turn I didn't care for.TWs for blood, gore, zombies/cannibalism, death, sexist comments
I felt that the original Marve Zombies series, while good, just seemed to be missing something. Whatever THAT was (the missing part) it's been found in MZ 3. It's a more gripping story although it stays within everything else in the MZU. Good stuff, Maynard.
