Marvel Zombies Series 5 #4 preview

[sherkahn]

Having been burned out on Zombies since the beginning of the year, I do appreciate the fresh takes we've been getting on them thanks to Machine Man and Howard the Duck's cross-dimensional voyages. CosmicBookNews has the preview, we get a different kind of "zombie" to have our heroes "bring the noise" to. 2 behind the cut.





Amadeus in the cyberspace metaverse... an interesting take as to what he could do. Been a while since I read any sci-fi hacker-speak.


I don't even know where to begin this one, so much to choose from. Hmmm.. let me try the nitpick, as I thought "machines that feed and run on human flesh" are called sarx after the greek term "angelic flesh". Soylent green, anyone?

Oh, and on the cover... if anyone can't place it, it's a homage to Roberto from Futurama.

"If I remember correctly, Warren Ellis was talking about how there's a quiet initiative at Marvel these days to reuse old characters rather than creating old ones."

I wish they told that to the people writing Avengers Academy.

I'm not sure I get where you're going with that, unless you're being pointlessly snarky about not liking Avengers Academy.

Complaining that they went out of their way not to use any of the existing teen characters they made over the last decade for a bunch of new kids (and Reptil). Sweeping a bunch of them into limbo when Initative was canceled.

It's been two months. I'm not sure it's "limbo" unless they stay gone for a year or more, particularly since the same writer is working on the followup book.
