I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as the previous volume but that, in all honesty, is probably due to the absence of Machine Man and Jocasta in this one, so my nerdgasm wasn't quite so powerful. This was a still a great little story, though, featuring some of the big guns of Marvel's darker corner (Morbius, Werewolf-by-Night, Son of Satan, Man-Thing... oh, and Jennifer Kale).Kev Walker's art was top notch and Fred Van Lente provided a tale of thrills, chills, spills and ills that he can be j...
Just when you thought Marvel couldn't get any weirder it does. Basically this is a monster mash-verse vs zombie plague and the monsters are somehow smarter than our superhero planet. I thought Morbius was Doctor Strange as a vampire for the longest time (it was the damn cloak okay?) and kind of enjoyed this team of weird creatures all working for a version of S.H.I.E.L.D. that didn't totally suck. Also the thought of supernatural creatures in a universe where it's mostly superheroes and villains...
Maybe I would have liked this more if I had known the characters better. I found it too crowded with characters: it felt like most of the story was made only by Kale, Dormammu and Morbius, and the other ones were kind of there. I'm not a fan of this idea of the zombie infection having its own mind (kind of like in the recent DCeased saga).Man-Thing burning the zombie, however - that's lit. That single page in the whole book - lit.
2.5 starsThis was a pretty meh book. It started okay with the Midnight Sons (Werewolf by Night, Jennifer Kale, Daimon Hellstrom and Morbius) being sent to destroy a zombie plague outbreak on a cruise ship. The carrier seems to be the severed head of Deadpool who constantly tells horrible jokes throughout the book. From here the story just meanders around using fairly standard zombie tropes. The only enjoyable things about the book were the art and seeing some little known characters get time in
Originally reviewed on The Raving AsgardianAfter proving that there was more to Marvel Zombies than Robert Kirkman’s first two miniseries, Fred Van Lente continued the madness with Marvel Zombies 4 .In this installment, the zombie plague has started to spread in Marvel 616 Earth from zombie universe. But a motley crew of supernatural powered operatives, the Midnight Sons (and 1 daughter), were keeping the infection at bay thanks to a vaccine and their natural resistance to the plague. However...
Other then Jennifer Kale and Micheal Morbius I knew next to nothing about the "Midnight Sons". However this story was decent and with Deadpool playing a major role and a cameo by Dormammu. This was actually pretty decent
Too much of a good thing…is exactly what comes to mind after attempting to follow the continuing exploits of the zombies and those few uninfected survivors on Earth Z. What started off as a clever series, which was helped by The Walking Dead’s Robert Kirkman in earlier installments, has disintegrated into a morass of tired plot clichés, hackneyed art (although the covers and coloring are quite spectacular in their own right), and characters who you don’t really give a damn about. (The cast of th...
Volumes 1 and 2 were written by Robert Kirkman, and I really enjoyed those. Volumes 3-5 are written by Fred Van Lente and they are completely different!!! I don't want to continue with the series because I'm not interested in it.
This wasn't that bad. It's not as great as the others, but it definitely flips back and forth btw the characters a lot.I like the theme that only monsters are able to fight monsters, as that's certainly very true in this comic storyline.I'm just enjoying the whole series. It's fascinating and fun. As in all series, not every issue can be a favorite.
This is a four-star rating where I am breaking my personal code for ratings... If I were to only give my personal feelings for this installment in the zombie superhero series, I would have to say that I was only mildly "in like" with the story. I was only vaguely familiar with the main characters, and the storytelling did little to make me more interested. I didn't think the justifications for the plot was explained clearly, nor how it fit into the vast landscape of the Marvel Universe...es?BUT....
Probably my least favorite of the series. Deadpool is by far one of my favorite Marvel characters, but I didn't like how this edition (and Part 3) started to break away from the more iconic superheros. Still, a fun read with some amazing illustrations.
It is ok but as we see the Midnight Sons chase down the Deadpool head that survived in the previous issue but it barely focuses on it and instead it we get people fighting over who gets to capture the zombie head which is not as fun. Their are still some twisted stuff but still not quite as good as the previous stories.
Morbius re-teams with The Midnight Sons to hunt down two escaped zombies before they infect the entire Marvel Universe.
I don't understand why I keep reading Marvel Zombies.They are never good.
At this point, I wish I had not committed myself to reading the entire series. But I did, so here I am. I’m not much of a Monster Squad fan, and so much of the dialogue in this particular series seems outlandishly terrible. Ugh. On to the next, I suppose.
Well, so much for the ridiculous silliness Van Lente used in Marvel Zombies 3! In place of that, we get a convoluted story during which I was trying desperately to understand anything. So, after Marvel Zombies 3, Zombie Deadpool's head disappeared with some Marvel Universe zombie named Simon Garth. I don't remember this being mentioned in Marvel Zombies 3 (which I read two days ago), so the setup from the outset was hard to grasp. Also, there are straight-up no built-in goals for any character.
The Marvel Zombies stories from volumes three and four are connected, and honestly I think they are much better than one and two. I like the return of the Midnight Sons, and Man Thing. I know it is a small thing but literally my favorite part was the short, one page "videos" of the Midnight Sons last will and testaments. It really showed into their characters based on who they were talking to in their videos and what they said.
I absolutely need more Midnight Sons and The Hood in my life.
Takes the story to some even more ridiculous places, with a heavy involvement of the Midnight Sons, of who I'm generally a fan, even this incarnation (Werewolf by Night, Jennifer Kale, Daimon Hellstrom and Morbius). Some truly wacky stuff happens in this book, but it does feel like a slight deviation from the series leading up to it, even though it's not a bad one.
Pretty good.
