And to think that if Mags had just been conveniently napping on the job then the Ultimate world might have been saved from Ultimate Enemy.

I've wondered if "Sentry" was going to be "Superman" with blue tights and a red cape. There was even a panel somewhere where "Sentry" had a ripped patch on his chest where his emblem would go.

The crossover of dubious continuity with Evil Dead showed that to rip to have been caused by Ash shooting Zombie!Sentry with his shotgun in Heaven. No, there was no explanation as to why there was a zombie in Heaven.

I think that was the case actually.

The particulars of the Marvel Zombie infection just get more and more ridiculous with every new appearance. Now people become decayed zombies within moments of being infected? And it spreads so quickly everyone in the world falls within a day, faster than commercial air travel would let a person go from one side of the planet to the other? (What, do the germs have little Sentry capes and make sonic booms as they fly to find new hosts?)

Not to mention being bitten is apparently how it's transmitted to Reed Richards, whose skin should simply give harmlessly under any attempt to puncture it?

The vector that enabled the quick conversion was actually Quicksilver. Mystique pretended to be Wanda and when Pietro came to her rescue... *chomp*. And then he went on a world tour.

Edit - And since Reed wanted to get infected he probably just willed his skin not to give.

Uh, this is the very first appearance of the Marvel Zombies, from 2005.

Ah, missed the start of that storyline. I guess the craziness was baked in from the start, then.

[cyberghostface]

In regards to your first question, yes, it seems to be immediate:

[cyberghostface]

Do we really need a trigger warning for this?

Also it's kind of funny how loose the continuity is between all the Zombie stuff. For example Kirkman had Reed Richards willingly infect himself during the initial plague.

And if you want to get even more out there, the "Marvel Zombies Return" mini basically ended with the Watcher sending the zombie Sentry back in time to the beginning of the story to 'close off' the zombies and keep them in a loop to prevent from spreading further. Which probably contradicts something here.
