Marvel Zombies Halloween #1

[flint_marko]

I know it's after Halloween, but I wanted to post seven pages from this issue so I had to wait a little bit before posting it. 

This is from Marvel Zombies Halloween #1, by Fred Van Lente and Alessandro Vitti. 

The story takes place in a version of the Marvel Universe where a plague has turned people into zombies.

A woman is living in an abandoned house with her son, a boy named Peter, using a sniper rifle to fend off the zombies trying to attack the house. Peter tells his mother he hears something in the walls, which turns out to be a black kitten. Peter names the kitten Blackie.

Later Peter is looking at a calendar when he sees the word "Halloween." He asks his mother what it is, and she explains how it was a holiday people celebrated before the plague.





Peter sees Blackie outside of the house and runs after him. He loses him and goes looking through the town. All the houses are rundown, except for one that looks brand-new and has the lights on.



Peter continues looking for Blackie when he's attacked by zombie versions of Squirrel Girl, Darkhawk, Mettle, Alex Power, and Karolina Dean. They are about to eat him when his mother comes to his rescue, grabbing him and phasing through the nearby schoolbuilding. 

Inside the school, the zombies find them again. The clock ticks midnight and suddenly the old man from before appears and taunts the zombies, who try attacking him.

"Shame that he died. He was quite the man. Now he's... EX-MAN! Also, your resemblance to him is quite UNCANNY!"

Now I'm sad that this dialogue wasn't in the comic :\. Truly there is no greater evil than trolling a fatherless child with godawful puns.

MEPHISTOOOOO!!!

I would totally read an entire series of nothing but Mephisto running around saying godawful stupid puns and trolling people. "You know what, fuck it, I don't care about souls anymore. I apparently cared enough to buy a goddamn 'marriage,' whatever the fuck that even meant. I'm just going to screw with everyone from now on. AND THE REAL TORMENT BEGINS WITH PUNS!"
